Make Claude remember you between every chat
Step 1 of 8
Understand what memory actually stores
Memory lets Claude carry facts about you across chats: your role, current projects, how you like things formatted. It's not a transcript of past conversations — it's a curated set of facts C
Checkpoint
You can list three facts you re-explain constantly that memory should hold.
Before you begin
Tick these off as you sort them. Stopping halfway to create an account is how a fifteen-minute build becomes an hour.

- Account
Memory is a paid-plan feature (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise). On free, every chat starts from zero.
- Know-how
What do you re-explain constantly? Your role, your company, your audience, your writing preferences. That's the raw material for good memory.
The basics — ticked once, remembered everywhere
- Account
Either the hosted version or a self-hosted install. Everything here works the same on both — the only visible difference is the shape of your webhook URLs.
Create a workspace - Know-how
Adding a node, connecting two of them, and pressing Execute. If any of that is new, the free primer covers it in about ten minutes.
- Credential
You will paste at least one secret during setup. A password manager beats a notes app, and it stops you pasting a live key into a chat window by accident.

The Claude features you will touch, left to right, in the order you use them.
