Context β€” one place for your context, every agent in the loop. Every AI you use already knows you. Context keeps your memory β€” health, meetings, plans, expenses, people, work β€” together in one place you own. Any agent you work with reads it, writes back into it, and stops at your approval. SOUND FAMILIAR? β€’ Every AI session starts from zero β€” new chat, same introductions. β€’ You are the API β€” copying context between ChatGPT, Claude, and your tools by hand. β€’ Plans die in the chat β€” brilliant in the transcript, gone by Thursday. β€’ Your agents finish work at 2am β€” and wait hours for you to notice. SAY IT ONCE. IT LANDS. Tap the mic and talk like you'd text a friend. β€œRan 5K, sixty dollars on groceries, two-hour meeting with the design team.” Context transcribes on device and files each piece β€” workout, expense, meeting with decisions pulled out β€” into a graph on your phone. PLANS THAT SURVIVE CONTACT WITH YOUR WEEK Tell Context the goal. It builds the plan, tracks the follow-through, and rewrites the plan when life changes β€” β€œknee's sore” is enough for it to notice and adjust. YOUR AGENTS, ONE QUEUE, YOUR APPROVAL Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor over MCP. Agents pick up work, hand off to each other, and pause at the gates you set β€” spec review, design review, ship approval. Approve or request changes from your phone. The dependency map draws itself from their work. NOMI, YOUR COMPANION Nomi knows your context and talks you through your day β€” mornings, meetings, and what needs you next. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Transcription runs on your device. Your context lives on your phone β€” your agents just visit, with scoped access you control. CONTEXT PRO Monthly or yearly. Yearly includes a 7-day free trial. β€’ Unlimited capture and AI understanding β€’ Agent connectors over MCP (Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) β€’ Plans, approvals, and the agent workflow board β€’ All speech models and cross-device sync Your context. Every agent. One place. β€” Terms of Use: https://onecontext.me/terms Privacy Policy: https://onecontext.me/privacy Context Pro is a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription.
