Last week was a lot.

The world outside has its own storyline going, and AI Twitter was, for once, not the loudest room on the internet.

But while everyone's attention was elsewhere, Anthropic kept shipping.

The way they've been doing since Sonnet 4.5 without a pause keeps making them harder to ignore.

This week had more than usual. So if you missed it, here's a quick catch-up. But before that, let’s catch up on AI overall this week.

Something worth flagging if you're a engineer, professional working in tech or want to get into it:

The schedule is as follows:

Day 1: 6th March, 7:00–11:00 PM
Developer Productivity, AI Agents & AI Assisted Coding w/Cursor & Claude.

Day 2: 7th March, 10:00 AM–2:15 PM
Agentic AI, Crew AI & Langraph Frameworks & Live Demo Of Real Agentic Workflows That Companies Use.

Day 2: 7th March, 3:00–6:00 PM
Orchestration, MCPs, Building Multi Agents Systems & Case Studies.

Claude has been evolving in a clear direction.

It's about making the model more present.

Every update covered today points the same way: Claude wants to be less of a tool you pick up and more of a system that's already running.

Cowork is the clearest expression of this i.e, an interface built specifically so non-developers can do the things that used to require Claude Code.

And the new memory features, scheduled tasks, and remote control are all building toward the same picture.

Memory, which holds onto your preferences, writing style, context, and past conversations, was previously paywalled. It's now available on the free plan.

And you can now import your memory from ChatGPT.

ChatGPT got to mass adoption first as it's what most people's parents know, what most offices defaulted to, what casual users never thought to move away from.

Switching felt like starting over and that friction just got removed. You can bring your context over, and Claude picks up where ChatGPT left off.

Fun part is now every person who imports their ChatGPT history into Claude is handing Anthropic a window into how people actually use the other tool. So Claude gets smarter about what users want, and Anthropic gets smarter about what the competition has been missing.

Cowork added scheduled tasks.

You can set Claude to complete recurring work at specific times, like a morning brief before you wake up, a weekly summary on Friday afternoon, and a report updated every Monday.

Cowork was great for one-off tasks, but you still had to show up and ask every time.

The scheduled tasks feature is what turns it from a smart assistant into something closer to a system.

For non-developers especially, this is significant.

Recurring, time-based automation was always the domain of Zapier, Make, or someone technical you had to ask for help. That's less true now.

Quick Mode dropped for Claude in Chrome. The claim: three times faster than before.

If you use the extension for summarising pages, drafting replies, or researching while browsing, the speed difference is noticeable enough to change how often you actually reach for it.

Personally, I've been thinking more and more about giving up purpose-built AI browsers altogether.

Most of them are bloated, you're locked into their model choices, and the browsing experience suffers.

If the Claude Chrome extension keeps getting better and faster, a normal lightweight browser plus this extension does everything I need, and does it better.

The extension approach might just win.

Claude Code added Remote Control.

You kick off a task in your terminal, leave your desk, and pick it back up on your phone while you're in a meeting or on a walk.

For developers, this is genuinely great. Long-running tasks no longer mean you're tethered to your machine.

But the broader point is that Claude Code is becoming more accessible in general.

Anthropic has been shipping hard since late 2025 and shows no signs of slowing.

But this week's batch was entirely about reducing friction.

The ChatGPT memory import is a quiet but deliberate move.

ChatGPT has the mindshare and Claude has been making the better product for a while.

The import button is Anthropic saying: we're not waiting for people to discover us, we'll make it easy to come over.

The agentic direction is also increasingly clear.

Scheduled tasks, remote control, auto-memory are Anthropic building toward a version of Claude that you set up once and trust to keep running.

For me, it's exciting. And I think 2026 is the year a lot of people who've been casually using AI start asking themselves why they're still doing certain things manually.

Until next time,
