Let your AI pick up where you left off

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.

Hi everyone, I’m Mariya 👋 Living Projects came out of a lot of frustration—and hours upon hours spent re-explaining my project to AI. I’d started a big project with loads of information. The project was growing fast, and I had to explain it all again every time I started a new chat. At first, I did all of that by hand: copying and pasting, writing summaries, uploading updated documents, and trying different ways to keep things going. Eventually, keeping track of the work was taking up too much of the time I wanted to spend actually doing it. So I stopped working on the project for a while to figure out how to make this into a tool I could use. It took three tries to get to Living Projects. Three months later, I’m its first user, and honestly, it’s become more than I hoped for. I work in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Most of my projects live in Dropbox, and some are in Google Drive. With Living Projects, I can move between them, say “we’re working in the [project name] home” (a project’s folder), and pick up from what we saved last time. I use voice a lot when I’m away from my laptop, too. Sometimes I’ll work on three or four projects in one conversation—save something here, look up a detail from another project, follow an idea, then come back. Being able to do that without losing track has made such a difference for me. I built Living Projects through conversations with AI, and used it to keep track of its own development. So it’s been part of my everyday work while I’ve been making it. It’s free, and I’m working on bringing it to more AI platforms. I hope it helps you as much as it’s helped me. I’d love to hear what you use it for.

Building Living Projects showed me something I didn’t expect about working with AI.

I built it to carry work forward between conversations. Having a readable record also helped me understand what I was carrying forward.

Going back through my projects, I could see what I’d missed, how it happened, and when. I found wording AI had interpreted differently than I intended, instructions from an earlier stage still influencing new conversations, and mistakes in how I’d explained things.

These were months of work. A few projects weren’t usable as they stood.

That was difficult to see. But understanding what had happened helped me stop taking a product further in a direction that wouldn’t work—saving months of future effort.

Communicating and building with AI can be tricky. The record gave me something concrete to learn from. I now have a better understanding of how to explain what I mean, what to ask, and how to check the work.

The benefit of a record goes beyond picking up where you left off. You can go back, understand how you got there, and make a more informed decision about what comes next.

Has anyone else found something like this in their own AI projects?
