Claude Projects

A self-contained workspace inside Claude.ai where your chats, documents, and instructions live together — so Claude stops forgetting the important stuff between conversations.

Claude Projects interface showing the ANY project with its memory panel, instructions, and attached files.
A Claude project in the wild — chat on the left, the knowledge base, instructions, and memory on the right.
01

Anatomy of a project

A project is made of four slots. Tap any one to see what fits inside.

Knowledge base

Upload briefs, style guides, code, transcripts — anything Claude should always know. Every chat inside the project reads from it automatically. 200K tokens of context per project, expandable up to 10× on paid plans via Enhanced RAG.

02

With a project vs without

Same question, same week. Flip the toggle to see what changes.

You

Can you draft a follow-up email for the Acme pitch?

Claude · Inside the Acme project

Here's a draft based on the brief and your usual tone:

Hi Maria,

Thanks again for Tuesday. I pulled together a short summary of the three directions we discussed plus a timeline for the first pilot — both attached. I'll send the SOW by Friday as agreed. Shout if anything shifts on your end.
