Overview
- Claude’s persistent memory is now available on the free tier, expanding access beyond paid plans, according to Anthropic.
- A new Import Memory tool instructs users to paste an Anthropic-supplied prompt into a competing chatbot to export all stored memories in a single code block.
- The export is formatted line by line as “[date saved, if available] – memory content,” with a completion check, then pasted into Claude’s memory settings for ingestion.
- Anthropic says the process works with any chatbot that has memory; reporting highlights support for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Microsoft’s Copilot.
- Imported entries typically take about 24 hours for Claude to absorb, and users can review, edit, or delete what’s stored, with data export available at any time.
