Building a Universal Memory Layer for Multi-AI Switching
nox3748 · reddit · 2026-07-20
The author proposes an idea: since users now frequently switch between multiple AIs like Claude and Codex, there should be a "universal memory" layer independent of any single model.
This memory layer would store user identity, project state, finalized decisions, and pending tasks. This allows any AI to seamlessly pick up where things left off without needing the background reintroduced every time. The author also expresses a desire to build a small-scale prototype to validate whether this problem genuinely exists.
