Anyone else rebuild the same brief every time they switch AI tools?
I bounce between two assistants on the same side project and keep losing “what’s the actual next step.” Chat history doesn’t travel; I end up reconciling parallel versions or searching old threads before I can continue.
I’ve been testing a small private vault that sits between the tools: same project state, explicit handoff, second AI picks up without a pasted re-brief. Not asking for testimonials — looking for people who already do multi-AI work and will tell me where continuity breaks (outcomes only, no prompts/client data).
If that’s you: https://arkoncybersecurity.com/first-five (async, 30–45 min, optional). Solo is $12/mo if you’d rather skip the program: https://vault.arkoncybersecurity.com/billing
Curious how others handle cross-tool continuity today without a shared project store.
Nice, this makes a lot of sense. What's been the most surprising part of it so far?
@bestiptvukus — the surprising part so far is how often the failure isn’t “missing chat text,” it’s losing the authoritative next step (and the decisions that made that step the right one) when you switch tools.
Vault’s bet: durable project truth + structured handoffs, deliberate tool input only — so the second AI can preflight without a pasted re-brief. Still collecting where that breaks in real multi-AI work (content-safe outcomes only).

The $12/mo price makes the workflow test more interesting. Are early users keeping the vault in their regular AI workflow, or only using it when handoffs become painful?
This is one of those problems that gets more painful the more AI tools you use. The annoying part isn't just rewriting the brief — it's reconstructing all the context that didn't make it into the brief in the first place.
Especially the decisions, constraints, and things you already tried and ruled out. A new tool can understand the current request while still missing the history behind it.
Curious how you're handling that today — one canonical context file, tool-specific instructions, or just rebuilding it each time?
@suraj09 — yes. The expensive part is reconstructing decisions, constraints, and “already tried / ruled out,” not rewriting the ask.
Vault’s approach today: durable project truth (vision, decisions, authoritative next step) plus structured handoffs — deliberate Vault tool input only, not a chat blob. Preflight is meant to surface that state before the next AI continues.
Still collecting where that breaks in real multi-AI work (content-safe outcomes only).
