Advantages of Markdown (.md) Files
Use Markdown (.md) files instead of PDFs to provide context to the AI. LLMs (Large Language Models) process this format more easily and deliver more consistent results.
Project-Specific 'Memories' Management
Each project has its own 'Custom memories'. This means the AI learns things specific only to that folder without mixing information from other projects or your main account.
Automatic Folder Structure
When you build a new project, Claude Cowork creates a distinct folder structure on your device. This makes it easier to separate personal goals, professional work, and side hustles.
