Claude Projects

Every time you start a new Claude conversation you're basically starting from scratch. You have to explain what you're working on and how you want things done. Projects removes that repetition.

A project is a workspace where you drop in files and write instructions that Claude follows in every conversation inside the project. Your style guide, the report template, the tone of voice. You explain it once, and Claude knows it from the start of every new conversation.

With Projects, Claude feels more like a colleague who actually knows what you need help with, without having to be briefed every time.

Chat, Projects or Cowork?

Regular chat is for one-off questions. You don't need prior context, and you probably aren't coming back to the topic.

Projects is for work you repeat or return to. Do you write a newsletter every week? Run the same analysis every month? Have a client where Claude needs to know the background? Projects saves you from explaining the same thing again.
