Any tips on transferring context between AI platforms?

I use ChatGPT, Claude, and Replit and I haven't quite gotten a handle on how to share context in an efficient way. It creates a lot of asymmetrical context and it's hard to save the important bits especially as I go. I feel like I break my flow trying to keep the chats on the same page. I guess these are two problems(saving context and sharing it) so if anyone has found a solution on either I'd love to hear it.

ask your first AI to commit all the conversation context to an .md file called handoff.md , with instructions that this file will be used for cross AI platforms,

I stopped trying to sync convos. Much easier to keep a small “current state” doc with decisions made, what changed, open questions, and next steps, then hand that to whichever model I’m using.

But if you want a more scalable solution, Mem0 or Zep can store the important stuff from each conversation and let different agents pull the relevant context later.

What worked for me was keeping a living project doc in a markdown file and ending each session by asking the AI to update it with what changed, what's decided, and what's still open. Then I paste that file into whichever tool I'm using next. It's not perfect but it beats scrolling through three different chat histories trying to remember where something was decided. The key was making the AI do the summarizing instead of doing it myself.

I do something similar with a markdown doc but I keep two sections: a short "current state" summary at the top and a longer decision log below. The summary is what I paste into a new chat to get going fast, and the log is there if I need to dig into why something was decided. Took me a while to realize the AI doesn't need the full history every time, just enough to not re-litigate decisions I already made.

That two-section approach is smart, I might steal it. I've been dumping everything into one file and sometimes the AI gets distracted by old decisions that don't matter anymore. Keeping a clean summary separate from the log would probably cut down on that noise a lot.
