Why doesn’t my context follow me when I switch between ChatGPT and Claude?
Every time I switch tools, I start over. ChatGPT doesn’t know what I told Claude. Cursor doesn’t remember what I decided yesterday. I am the same person working on the same projects, yet I have to re-explain everything.
I’ve tried keeping a running document to paste at the start of each session. It works, but it’s manual, and I always forget. I’ve also tried the memory features in ChatGPT and Claude, but they are separate; one doesn’t share with the other.
Is there a better way to keep context across AI tools that I’m missing? Has anyone actually solved this issue?
I became frustrated enough that I started building something on my own. I’m creating an open-source memory layer that connects different tools, but I wonder if I am just reinventing the wheel.
