How to share context between ChatGPT and Claude
You use ChatGPT for writing, Claude for analysis and a third tool for code. Each knows only part of your work. Here are four ways to bring it together.

The short answer
There are four ways: paste your context into every chat, keep a context file you upload when needed, import one tool's memory into another, or use a shared memory every tool reads. The first is the fastest start; the last is the least effort over time.
The four ways in one table
| Method | How it works | Good for | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copy and paste | You paste your project brief at the top of each chat | A single passing task | You repeat it every time and leave things out |
| Context file | A file describing your work that you upload to each tool | One project whose details rarely change | Goes stale unless you update it by hand |
| Memory import | You move one tool's memory summary into another | A final move from one tool to another | A one-off snapshot that does not update |
| Shared memory | An independent memory every tool reads and writes | Ongoing work across several tools | Each tool needs connecting once |
When is a context file enough?
If you have one project and its details rarely change, a one-page file is enough: who you are, what the project is, which decisions are fixed, and how you want answers.
The trouble starts when the work changes weekly. The file does not update itself, and what gets decided inside a chat only returns to it if you write it in by hand.

How to choose
Start with the simplest. If you catch yourself pasting the same brief for the fifth time, move to a context file. If the file keeps going stale, or you now have several projects and several tools, a shared memory is what you need.
Memory Bridge is a shared memory of that kind. See how it works.
Common questions
Do AI tools talk to each other?
They do not exchange memory directly. Each knows what it was told. Sharing happens through you, or through an independent memory you connect them to.
Is a shared memory safe?
It depends on the service. Ask where it is stored, who can read it, and whether you decide what each tool sees. Our answers are on the privacy and control page.
Do I need a browser extension?
Some services rely on one. Memory Bridge connects from the tool's own settings.
