- Claude’s new incognito mode is free for all users
- Conversations with AI will remain deprived and will not be in your story or your memory
- The new features arrive with the recently improved memory system of Claude for the subscribers to Claude Max, Team and Enterprise
If you like to use the Claude AI chatbot of Anthropic but you don’t really like the idea of your conversations that still persist in the cloud, you are lucky. Claude can now go incognito, which means that any interaction will be private and not saved. You will not see it in your story or when you open the application.
In an industry where the confidentiality of AI is often delivered with a monthly price, Anthropic’s decision testifies to the way in which the explosively popular incognito mode is part of the amount of personal information households that digital tools absorb to be used in the whim of massive technological companies.
Claude now offers this type of ephemeral fashion without memory to each user at each level of subscription, including the free level. Simply click on the Little Ghost icon when you start a new conversation, and it is activated. The black border and the label confirm that your cat is incognito. When you close the window, let’s go. No history. No memory. No trace apart from a temporary retention period of 30 days for security.
As with web browsers, the incognito mode is excellent if you want to access a digital toolbox without all that you plan to be a new potential. Maybe you are embarrassed by your personal, speculative or simply strange question. Now you can ask yourself questions without fear that Claude can raise it later or incorporate it into a future response. It is not only a question of hiding embarrassing questions. It is a question of giving users a mental sandbox: a space to reflect aloud, test ideas or learn something new without it being part of the long -term memory of the chatbot.
This long -term memory has just started to move now for Claude. Unlike incognito mode, however, memory features are only intended for team and business subscribers at the moment.
The opinion of memory features allows Claude to recall the context from conversations, to remember previous projects in project mode, to store notes on your work preferences and even to help you collect where you stopped. The memory of each project is isolated, which means that your work cats will not bleed in your personal writing.
Claude remembers
But this is where it becomes interesting: incognito mode and memory do not compete. They complement each other. Use incognito when you want a clean slate, free from influence or history. Use memory when you want Claude to be a continuity machine, helping you transport long -term wires between cats and tasks.
And if you are the kind of person who changes a lot of opinion on what you want, Claude’s approach is refreshing. Nothing is recorded unless you get. What if you don’t want memory at all? You don’t have to use it.
He also distinguishes Claude from some of his greatest rivals. Although the Openai and Google Gemini Chatppt both offer their own versions of memory and private cats, they do not make these distinctions so clear or customizable. Claude’s implementation is unusually transparent thanks to his important labels and icons
To watch
Not having the memory function in place is both attractive and seems to deny some of the possibilities of an AI chatbot. They are their own bubble and cannot be converted into a regular fact afterwards, so if you forget to copy something important before closing the window, let’s go. Nor can you use incognito mode in Claude’s “Projects” function.
However, the broader involvement that people want to at least have the possibility of confidentiality in their Chatbot IA conversations is obvious. The incognito mode reduces the barrier to the entrance for people who are curious by AI but who are wary of leaving a data track. And, curiously, an AI that can also forget things or at least imitate experience seems much more human than a total recall.
