AI Quick Tips 305: Organize your chats with Claude projects

Written by Damien Griffin | Mar 26, 2026 4:45:00 PM

ChatGPT has projects. Gemini has Gems, Perplexity has projects. Claude has, well, also projects.


Of course, they all work slightly differently.

 

Here is how Claude recommends using projects

“Projects help organize your work and leverage knowledge across multiple conversations. Upload docs, code, and files to create themed collections that Claude can reference again and again.”

 

Expand the left sidebar in Claude to get to projects

 

Once you click on projects, you can create a new project by clicking on, well,

New project (they make this pretty straightforward)


Add a name and description for your project on the next screen

 

Now you’ll get a new interface where you can start a new chat, see existing chats (when you have some), add custom instructions to guide Claude’s behavior within this project and/or upload files to be referenced within this project

 

You can use models and use voice mode just like in a regular chat.

 

You can actually get some pretty complicated and sophisticated setups in there, but I think that this was a good intro.

 

Let us know if you have any questions.
