A consultant finished a strategy session in one chat yesterday. Today she opens a new, separate chat (not in a Project, with memory not enabled) and asks Claude to 'continue from yesterday's recommendations.' Claude doesn't know what she means. What best explains this, and what should she do?

Answer: B — Chats don't share context by default; she should paste in a summary or go back to the original chat.

Conversations are separate unless something carries context over, such as memory, a Project or a pasted summary, so bringing over a summary or returning to the original chat works (b); for ongoing client work, a Project would avoid the problem. This is expected behavior, not a bug (a). Model tier doesn't create cross-chat recall (c). Asking it to try harder (d) can produce a made-up 'recollection' rather than the real recommendations.
