Your AI context should be portable. Every conversation, AI learns how you think. Your preferences, your projects, your style. Then the chat ends — and it's gone. Next conversation, you start over. The best AI users already solved this. They save context about themselves and paste it into every new chat. It's the difference between starting from scratch and picking up where you left off.
