AI context management: the problem nobody's talking about (and what we built to fix it)
Hey PH community 👋
We're in the middle of our AppSumo launch for AI Context Flow, and I wanted to start a real conversation here rather than just drop a link.
The problem we're solving: most people using AI tools daily are paying what I call an "AI context tax", the time spent re-explaining your project, background, and goals every single session, to every single tool.
ChatGPT doesn't know who you are. Claude doesn't know who you are. Gemini doesn't know who you are. And if you're jumping between them (like most power users are), you're paying that tax multiple times a day.
AI Context Flow is a universal context layer, save once, use everywhere. It connects to all major AI tools via MCP, includes an AI sidebar that works on any website, and lets you share context with teammates.
A few things I'd love to discuss with this community:
- How are you currently managing context across AI tools?
- Has anyone found a workflow that actually works?
- What would you want from a tool like this that we haven't thought of yet?

Happy to answer anything, treat this as an ongoing thread for the next 2 weeks.

Right now I keep context in 2 places: Claude hold my voice files and client briefs. Perplexity Spaces hold that plus research, separated by topic.
It works, but only halfway: every time something changes I update it twice. And none of it follows me into the browser, so Perplexity's browser and the Claude Chrome extension both start from zero.
My one worry, and I'll be straight about it: a universal layer only helps if it actually kills that double update. If it turns into a third copy I have to keep current, it costs me more than it saves. That's the part I'd want proof on before the LTD.
Practical question for you: does the MCP connection reach the browser extensions too, or just the desktop and web apps? The browser gap is exactly where my current setup falls apart.
On your last question, the feature I would like to have fully working is bookmark import, but not from Chrome or any other browsers - I've got a few hundreds saved & sorted in Raindrop. Pulling those in searchable context would help a lot. I'll be watching how the sync holds up over a few weeks before I commit.
