What are AI Projects?
AI projects let you organize conversations, files, and instructions into dedicated workspaces. Instead of starting every chat from scratch, you create a project once, upload relevant documents, set custom instructions, and then every conversation inside that project automatically has the right context. Think of it like a shared folder that your AI assistant can always reference.
Common use cases- Managing a long running initiative (product launch, research paper, trip planning) across multiple conversations
- Uploading reference documents so the AI can answer questions about your specific materials
- Setting project level instructions so you do not have to repeat yourself every time you start a new chat
Step 1: Create a Project
Open Claude and create a new Project workspace for your topic or task
Step 2: Upload reference files
Add documents, code files, or data that Claude should reference across all conversations
Step 3: Set custom instructions
Define how Claude should behave within this project (tone, constraints, domain rules)
Step 4: Start conversations
Every conversation in the project automatically inherits the files and instructions
