Open Claude's Memory settings this week and you get a plain list of what it actually knows about you, with a delete button next to every line. What it picks up in a chat now follows you into Cowork, so you stop re-explaining yourself in every new window.
Google went a different direction, turning Google Chat into one box you type into to search your Gmail, Drive, and Calendar and get real work done without app-hopping.

💥 Big News
Claude's memory just got a real upgrade. What it picks up in a normal chat now carries over to Cowork (its desktop helper that runs multi-step jobs), so you stop re-explaining the same things in every window.
The best part: you can see everything it remembers. Open Memory settings for a plain list of topics you can read, change, or delete one by one. Claude adds to that list as you talk instead of guessing when a chat ends.
Sensitive stuff like health, beliefs, or identity stays out by default, and you flip a toggle to save it.
💡 Why It Matters
Live now: on Free, Pro & Max across web, desktop & mobile
You're in control: read, edit or delete anything Claude saved
One brain: chat & Cowork now share the same memory
Google put a real assistant inside Google Chat. Hit Ctrl+G (or Cmd+G) and you get one box that reaches across Gmail, Drive, and Calendar to find things, write drafts, make images, and set up meetings without app-hopping.
You can also have it summarize a busy thread, spin up tasks, or keep separate sessions per project so each stays tidy. It replaces the old side panel with something you type into.
Rollout started August 26 and reaches accounts over about two weeks. You need a Business, Enterprise, or Education plan with Workspace smart features on, and your language set to English for now.
💡 Why It Matters
Rolling out now: to Business, Enterprise & Education plans
One box: search Gmail, Drive & Calendar without switching apps
Do more: draft, summarize, make images & set meetings in Chat
