I'm not a coder. Most of what I build with AI starts with conversations. I explain an idea, share experiences, ask questions, and develop the work from there.
I've been working this way extensively, and I genuinely enjoy it. What AI brings to the process the connections, creativity, and ability to help develop an idea is a big part of why I keep building.
But two experiences with long-running projects made me realize how much I still don't understand about how AI interprets language.
The first involved continuity across sessions. I wanted to preserve where the work stood, what we'd decided, and how the project had evolved. I didn't realize that the language used to preserve that continuity could also influence how AI approached future work.
Living Projects is a free plugin that helps your AI pick up where you left off. It saves your project’s notes, decisions, and the reasons behind them as plain-text files in your own Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive. Your AI can bring that saved work together to show what’s settled, what’s open, and what comes next. In a new conversation, it can read the saved context and continue—even when you switch between Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Your files stay yours, in the storage you choose.
