- Claude’s new incognito mode is free for all users
- Conversations with AI will remain private and will not be in their history or memory
- The new features arrive with the recently updated memory system of Claude for the subscribers to Claude Max, Team and Enterprise
If you like to use the Chatbot Claude AI of Anthrope, but I don’t really like the idea that your conversations remain forever in the cloud, you are in luck. Claude can now be incognito, which means that any interaction will be private and not saved. You will not see it in your history or when you open the application.
In an industry where the privacy of AI comes with a monthly price label, Anthrope’s decision speaks of how explosively popular is the unknown mode of personal information information that digital tools absorb to the whims of mass technological companies.
Claude now offers this type of ephemeral way without memory to each user at each subscription level, including the free level. Simply click on the small Ghost icon at the beginning of a new chat, and is activated. The black edge and label confirm that its chat is incognito. When you close the window, it is gone. Without history. Without memory. There is 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 tools kit without everything you consider is a potential news. You may be ashamed of your personal, speculative or simply strange question. Now you can ask about the fear that Claude mentions it later or will incorporate it into a future response. It’s not just about hiding pregnant questions. It is about giving users a mental sand box: a space to think out loud, try ideas or learn something new without becoming part of the long -term memory of the chatbot.
That long -term memory has just begun to be implemented for Claude. However, unlike the unknown mode, memory characteristics are only for equipment subscribers and companies at this time.
Opt in the characteristics of the memory allows Claude to remember the context of the conversations, remember previous projects in project mode, store notes about their work preferences and even help it resume where he left it. The memory of each project is isolated, which means that their work chats will not bleed in their personal writing.
Claude remembers
But this is where it becomes interesting: the unknown mode and memory do not compete. They complement each other. Use incognito when you want a clean slate, influence or history. Use the memory when you want Claude to be a continuity machine, helping you bring long -term threads through chats and tasks.
And if you are the type of person who changes a lot of what changes you about what you want to remember, Claude’s approach is refreshingly respectful. Nothing is stored unless you choose. What if you don’t want memory? You don’t have to use it.
Claude also appears apart from some of his biggest rivals. While Chatgpt and Google Gemini de Openai offer their own memory versions and private chats, they do not make these distinctions so clear or customizable. Claude’s implementation feels unusually transparent thanks to its prominent labels and icons
Attend
Not having the memory function in its place is attractive and seems to deny some of the possibilities of a chatbot of AI. They are their own bubble y = They cannot become regular after the fact, so if you forget to copy something important before closing the window, it has gone. Nor can you use the incognito mode within Claude’s “projects” function.
Even so, the broader involvement that people want to at least have the privacy option in their chatbot conversations of AI is obvious. The incognito mode reduces the input barrier for people who are curious about AI but distrustful of leaving a trace of data. And, strangely that it may seem, an AI that can also forget things or at least imitate the experience seems much more human than a with a total retirement.
