How to make every AI remember you

You tell ChatGPT how you like answers. Then Claude. Then the next agent, from zero, forever. There are three realistic ways out: per-app settings, a paste-block you maintain yourself, or one portable file that every AI reads.

Option one, set each app individually

ChatGPT has custom instructions and memory. Claude has projects and preferences. Gemini has saved info. Each works inside its own walls, none of them see each other, and every new tool means starting over. This is fine if you live in exactly one assistant and never plan to switch. Most people no longer do.

Option two, keep your own paste-block

Write a short profile of yourself once, keep it in your notes, and paste it at the start of any AI conversation. This genuinely works and costs nothing. Its weaknesses are honesty and upkeep: self-written profiles say who you wish you were, and the file quietly rots as your work and life move.

Option three, a record that keeps its own dates

A Pupul profile answers both weaknesses. Every entry is dated the day it lands and can never be edited or reordered afterward, by anyone including us, so the record cannot be quietly rewritten into who you wish you were. And it does not run on your discipline: every Sign in with Pupul adds a dated check-in, even in weeks you never write. It compiles into one block you add to any AI in about two minutes, you scope every line before it travels, and revoking ends every AI’s access at once, verifiable offline. It is free to start, and the record stays yours.

Start with the file you can already get.

Every platform named on this page will hand you your own export if you ask. The free Count opens that file in this browser and prints what is in it: how many records, over how long, and which categories you were filed under. It counts, and it shows you the shape of the file. No account, no email field, and the file never leaves your device.

Open the free Count

The Reading, the paid page that reads a file back to you in plain sentences with a receipt on every line, is the step after. 6.99 a week or 69.99 a year, and the Count stays free either way.

What should a personal context file contain?

How you like answers, how you work through a day, what you are focused on, and how to meet you when things are hard. What it should never contain is anything you would not want a third party holding, which is why a curatable, revocable file beats a raw braindump.

Does this work with AI agents, not just chatbots?

Yes, and it matters more for agents. An agent acting on your behalf needs consented context and a kill switch even more than a chat window does.
