Claude AI to preview Harmony, a new cloud sync feature for Projects

Harmony on Claude

Anthropic is working on enabling a new feature preview called Harmony on Claude AI. This feature was previously identified through reverse engineering. Harmony allows users to synchronize projects in the cloud with their local folders. When a user synchronizes for the first time, the content of the local folder is uploaded into the project’s knowledge base. After that, users can sync files between the knowledge base and the local folder by simply clicking on the sync button. Essentially, this feature functions similarly to Dropbox but is designed for cloud-based projects.

Recently, this feature has transitioned into a feature preview, much like how artifacts initially appeared. In the feature preview window, there will be a new toggle called Harmony. It also seems that Harmony might be closer to release than expected, as an image highlighting this feature has already been added. The image features a person with certain dots connected by lines, which likely represents harmonization.

This is an exciting feature that could enable many new possibilities. For example, users could sync a local folder and then modify it from a mobile app through artifacts. However, to update the local folder with these changes, a manual sync back from the web would be required.

Additionally, it’s known that Anthropic is working on another similar feature called Nightwalk. Nightwalk would allow users to synchronize their cloud projects with GitHub, which would be an even more developer-friendly feature for the future.

Besides that, Anthropic is also developing a new button that will appear in the top right bar, allowing users to quickly start a new chat through a pop-up. This pop-up will feature a prompt window along with some conversation starters, offering a convenient way to begin a new conversation. Additionally, there’s a feature in the works that will display follow-up prompt suggestions during ongoing conversations. This is similar to a feature already available on ChatGPT, and it will likely function in a similar manner on Claude.
