Claude offers memory across conversations, projects, user preferences, and connectors. You can use incognito chats when you do not want a chat to become part of normal context. ¹

Claude has a free plan, Pro at $20/month, and Max from $100/month. Individual plans have a model-training opt-out; Team and Enterprise content is not used for model training by default. ¹

jo gives every user an isolated cloud machine and storage, uses zero-retention model endpoints, and does not train on mail, messages, or screen content. jo asks for approval before it sends, books, buys, or changes a calendar. It is free while in beta, with no waitlist.
