If you use more than one AI tool, you have several half-copies of yourself scattered around. ChatGPT knows about your family but not your codebase. Claude knows this week's project but forgets it per conversation. Cursor knows nothing unless you keep pasting. Each tool holds its own notes, none of them share, and every one of them starts some conversation with you explaining something another tool already knows.
The fix that emerged in the last year is MCP, an open standard that lets AI tools call outside services. Mostly it gets used for things like databases and browsers. But it solves the memory problem neatly: if your memory lives in one place that speaks MCP, then every tool that speaks MCP reads and writes the same memory.
What this looks like day to day
Your memory lives at Talkamore as readable pages: one per person, project, and recurring topic, written automatically from what you tell it. Then:
- In Claude, you mention how the migration went, and it saves the update to your project page. Tomorrow in a fresh chat, Claude already knows, because it reads the page back.
- In Claude Code or Cursor, you ask "what did I decide about the auth flow?" and it pulls the decision, with the date you made it, from the same pages.
- In ChatGPT, which does not speak MCP to outside memory, you seed it the other way: ask "what do you know about me?", paste the answer into Talkamore once, and everything it knew joins the shared record.
One memory. Every tool. And because the memory is pages rather than a vector store, you can open it and read what your tools believe about you, and fix it when it is wrong.
Why not just keep a CLAUDE.md?
A lot of developers solve this with a hand-kept file per tool or per project, and it genuinely works until it goes stale. We wrote up the full case for retiring that doc, but the short version: the file only knows what you remembered to type, it carries no dates, and you are the sync mechanism between tools. The MCP route keeps the properties you liked (readable, yours, exportable) and deletes the maintenance.
Setup, actually in five minutes
- Sign up at talkamore.com (free to start) and talk to it for a minute, or paste in what ChatGPT knows about you.
- Open the connect page in Talkamore. It gives you your personal connection link and the exact snippet for each tool.
- In Claude: Settings, then Connectors, add Talkamore, approve the connection. In Claude Code or Cursor: paste the server config from the connect page.
- Ask any connected tool: "what do you know about me?" It should answer from your pages, and tell you where each fact came from.
The connection uses OAuth, so you approve it once per tool and can revoke it any time. Your pages are encrypted so only you can open them, and every write any tool makes shows up in your pages where you can see it, edit it, or delete it.
The quiet benefit
Once your memory is a place instead of a feature, switching AI tools stops being expensive. New model comes out next month? Connect it. The months of context you have built follow you, because they were never trapped inside anyone's app. That is what memory you own means, practically: nobody's product decision can take your record with it.
Free to start at talkamore.com. The connect page is in the app once you sign in.
