The premise
Project-scoped instructions and files apply automatically to every chat in that project — saving tokens and ensuring consistency.
What AI does well here
- Apply project instructions to every new chat in scope.
- Reference uploaded project files across sessions.
- Maintain a project-specific tone or style.
- Save you from re-explaining context every time.
What AI cannot do
- Share memory across different AI providers.
- Remember anything not pinned to the project explicitly.
