You've explained this before
You and ChatGPT picked Postgres for a new project three weeks ago. Today you open Cursor to write the schema, and it asks which database you're using.
You brainstorm a feature in Claude, then ask it to write a prompt for Claude Code so the next session knows the plan. You paste it into a fresh session and hope nothing got lost on the way.
You've told ChatGPT to keep answers short. Then Claude. Then Cursor. You try a new AI tool and spend the first session introducing yourself, your projects and the people you work with, all over again.
I run a software agency in Bali, and I lived this every day across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Claude Code. If you use more than one AI tool, you probably do too.
Why it keeps happening
Memory lives inside each tool, and only there. What you teach Claude never reaches Cursor.
Built-in memory features help inside a single tool, but each one is a silo, and most are a black box: you can't easily see what was saved, correct what's wrong or take it with you when you switch tools.
So you become the glue. You carry context from tool to tool by hand, and every new chat costs you a few minutes of explaining.
The fix: one memory for all your AI tools
So I built Eling. It remembers what you tell your AI tools, so each of them knows you and your work, whichever one you open.
I feel it most when I move from brainstorming to building. I used to end every brainstorm in Claude by asking it to write a prompt for Claude Code. Now I open a new Claude Code session and start working. The decisions from the brainstorm are already there, so I don't generate handoff prompts or re-explain what needs to be done.
| The problem | With Eling |
|---|---|
| A chat ends or runs out of room, and what you told it is gone | Eling keeps it for the next chat, next week and next year |
| You forget where a discussion ended | Ask, and your AI pulls the decision and the open questions |
| You plan in ChatGPT, and Cursor knows nothing | Open Cursor and it already knows the plan |
| You repeat "keep it short" in every tool | Say it once, and every connected tool follows |
| A new AI tool starts as a stranger | It knows your projects, people and preferences from the first chat |
| The same PDF gets uploaded to every tool | Attach it once, and any connected tool can search inside |
You can also link people, projects and plans, and see how they connect in a graph.
How it works
Eling works inside the AI tools you already use. You set it up once.
- Connect your AI tools. Add Eling to each tool as a connector. It takes about a minute per tool.
- Talk as you always do. When you share a fact, a preference or a decision, your AI saves it to Eling. You can also ask it to remember anything else.
- Every tool knows you. Start a conversation in any connected tool, and it recalls what matters, wherever you first said it.
Under the hood, Eling is a remote MCP server. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code and other MCP clients connect to the same URL:

If you build with agents
The problem gets worse with agents. You settle the plan in a brainstorm, then Claude Code, Cursor and your own agents each start without it. Eling gives every agent the same decisions, specs and rules, wherever the work started.
- One brief for every agent. Decisions, specs and conventions are saved once, and Eling asks every connected agent to check them before it starts work.
- Hand off between agents. One agent saves where it stopped and what's left. The next one, in any tool, picks up from there.
- Your own agents too. Any MCP client that supports OAuth sign-in can connect, so the agents you build share the memory your tools use.
You stay in control
A memory you can't see is a memory you can't trust. Everything Eling keeps is yours to see, correct and take with you.
- See everything. The Eling web app shows every memory, where it came from and what replaced what.
- Correct and delete. Edit or delete any memory, and the change reaches every connected tool at once.
- Take it with you. Export everything as Markdown or JSON whenever you like, and delete your account in one step.
- Yours alone. Eling doesn't sell your data or use it to train AI models.
Try Eling
Eling is a Javanese and Balinese word for "to remember". It's built in Bali, so the name felt right.
Eling is in an invite-only beta, and it's free while the beta lasts. Join the waitlist at eling.io, and you'll get an email when your spot opens.
