How to move chats between AI agents

A long chat gets slow and expensive, and a fresh chat forgets everything. Switching to a different agent is worse, since it has none of the context. The fix is a handoff doc. Have your agent write a compact summary of where things stand, stash it to one link, and hand that link to the next chat or agent. Here is how.

…and that's the full v1 architecture. Postgres, a JWT-auth REST API, and a Next.js front end on Cloud Run.

Compact this into a handoff doc as Markdown and stash it on DocStash.

Hand off in four steps

Ask for a handoff doc. Tell your agent to summarize the conversation, the decisions made, and the next steps into a Markdown doc.
Stash it. Ask it to save the doc to DocStash. You get one link like docstash.ai/<slug>.
Start fresh. Open a new chat, or a different agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor), and paste the DocStash URL.
Continue. The new agent reads the handoff doc and picks up with full context, no re-explaining.

FAQ

Does this move my whole conversation?

No. Your agent writes a compact summary, not the raw transcript. You only store the doc it creates.

Is my conversation sent to DocStash?

No. DocStash only receives the handoff doc your agent saves, never the chat itself.

Which agents can pick it up?

Any connected agent, whether Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, or Codex.

Never re-explain your context again

Connect your agents to DocStash and hand off work between chats and tools.
