I Got Tired of Re-Explaining My Project Every Time I Switched AI Assistants

#ai #programming #webdev #productivity

Last week I was working with Claude on a project.

After almost an hour of debugging, I hit the usage limit.

So I opened Gemini to continue.

Then I realized I had to rebuild the entire context from scratch:

The project architecture
What I'd already tried
The bugs I'd already fixed
What still needed to be done

The problem wasn't switching AI models. It was losing context.

That made me wonder... Why don't AI assistants have a proper handover, just like developers do?

So I built the tool I wished already existed. I called it Vakaso

The idea is simple: before switching AI assistants, ask the current AI to generate structured handover notes instead of making the next AI rediscover everything.

Instead of copying an entire conversation, Vakaso asks your current AI to generate a structured handover before you switch.

The Workflow

Claude➡️Generate Handover➡️Paste into Gemini (or Cursor)➡️Continue working

The goal isn't to replace ChatGPT or Claude. It's simply to make switching between them much less painful.

Why Browser-Only?

From the beginning, I wanted this to have a few strict rules:

No login
No backend
No database
Everything runs entirely in your browser

I didn't want anyone to upload their code or prompts to yet another service just to switch AI assistants. That means your prompts and code never pass through my servers.

*Why I Made It Public
*

I originally built this tool for myself, but I decided to make it public in case it helps other developers too.

AI Handover is part of Vakaso, a collection of browser-first developer utilities built around one simple idea: Developer utilities that respect your time and your privacy.

Looking for Feedback

This is still an early project, and I'd genuinely love feedback from developers who switch between Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, or other AI assistants.

I'm especially interested in two questions:
