I built one place for all of it.
April 2026
I'm using AI for just about everything these days.
Claude Code is my main driver at work. I use it for prototyping, planning, reviewing PRs, generating reports for leadership meetings. I use Claude as my thinking partner — instead of Google for day-to-day lookups, for mockups and design exercises right from my phone until I hit a ceiling. That's when I reach for Gemini, which I've found to be better for image and graphic generation.
ChatGPT was my first crush. It has a lot of my earliest interactions with AI. A lot of that data is stuck there. I could export it into Claude, sure, but there's a year of daily conversation with nuance that would get flattened in translation.
Anthropic and OpenAI are racing neck and neck, leapfrogging each other to claim the most frontier model. Their #1 position can last hours, days, weeks. Each model is better at some things and worse at others. If you want the best of the best for every task, you have to hop back and forth.
But your context doesn't go with you. It's siloed.
I'm frustrated that my Claude Code memory doesn't cross-reference with my Claude app on my iPhone and my MacBook. Oh yeah, and I have a separate Claude account for collaborating with my team at work.
This is the new version of the problem I wrote about in December. Back then, my thinking was scattered across stacks of paper, bookmarks, notes apps, and chat threads I'd never reopen. Now it's scattered across five different AI tools too — and each one only knows a slice of me.
Then something clicked.
I was on a work call, had Stash open in a tab, taking detailed notes on what our investors were asking for Series A due diligence. Hopped off the call, jumped into Claude Code and said something like: "We've got a big one. Check my Stash for context on the data pull."
Claude had everything it needed.
I could've done the same thing in Cursor, Codex, whatever. It didn't matter which AI I used. What mattered was that it went into my Stash first.
Last night I was workshopping a concept brand for a little golf side project. I'm not very good at golf. Jokingly, I came up with "Ass at Golf" — because, well, I kind of am.
This morning when I popped out of bed and wanted to see what the mascot could look like, I opened ChatGPT and asked it to check my Stash for the brand concept. It came up with something hilariously good. No context dump. No re-explaining. It was already in one spot.
There was a huge switching cost when I moved from ChatGPT to Claude in late 2025. Had Stash existed beforehand, that switch would have been painless. Your thinking would just come with you.
Tabs I haven't gotten to yet, tweets that are insightful, customer pains I hear on calls, threads I find on LinkedIn, ideas that hit me on a post-lunch walk around Asbury Park — they all intertwine more than you think.
Right now they're scattered across conversations in Claude, in Slack, on Twitter, in your email, in a notebook. But they all matter. Overspecifying beats underspecifying. The pain is regurgitating that context every time you start a new conversation.
With Stash, that context compounds, evolves, shifts, and reconciles behind the scenes. You just need to capture — and capture often.
There's something freeing about it.
I don't need ChatGPT giving me five suggestions on what to do next. I want to enjoy some fresh air. What I need is for that capture to show up in the right place, at the right time, without me having to remember where I put it.
Stash it. It follows you everywhere.
