Anthropic’s Claude to Support Memory and App Creation: Reports

Anthropic is preparing to roll out two major updates to its AI assistant Claude—a memory function and expanded app creation tools. These updates will position the assistant as a no-code development platform for AI-driven mini-apps.

According to a report by TestingCatalog, traces of a Memory feature have surfaced on Claude’s mobile app, hinting that the assistant will soon be able to recall past user interactions. Once live, the feature would allow Claude to reference previous conversations across sessions, bringing it closer to persistent memory functions already offered by competitors like ChatGPT and Gemini. The update is expected to launch across both web and mobile platforms, though Anthropic has yet to confirm an official release date.

Alongside memory, a more significant capability is emerging inside Claude’s Artifacts feature. What was previously a simple gallery for storing AI-generated content now appears to be evolving into an app canvas. As spotted by a user on X, users may soon be able to embed Claude’s functionality directly within Artifacts, effectively turning them into interactive, Claude-powered utilities. 

This shift could allow users to build lightweight, shareable applications without writing code.

The user shared a leaked article by VentureBeat that described the move as Anthropic’s attempt to transform Claude into a platform for “no-code developers”. 

While some of these capabilities are still under internal testing, a more advanced version of Artifacts is expected to be released today, if the leaked article is considered.

Anthropic’s focus seems more on enabling users to not just query Claude, but to build with it and keep it around. If realised, the updates could lower technical barriers for custom AI solutions and further differentiate Claude in the competitive AI assistant landscape.
