> ChatGPT and Terminal Conversations — Bridging Memory When working on an agentic system like the Hitchhiker Project, you may interact with AI in two environments: - ChatGPT in your browser (chat.openai.com) - CLI tools like Open Interpreter or CrewAI using API keys
Although both may use the same OpenAI or Anthropic account, they do not share memory or conversation history. This page explains why, and offers strategies to bridge the gap.
# Why Memory Is Not Shared ChatGPT (Web) stores memory and chat history per user account. This memory is accessible only through the browser interface. OpenAI API and Claude API are stateless by default. Every API call must include its own prompt and context. Your API key does not grant access to ChatGPT memory or prior conversations.
# Bridging Context
You cannot sync memory between ChatGPT and the API directly. But with prompts, logging, and structured wiki storage, you can simulate persistent agent memory across tools and workflows.
Here are some strategies for bridging context between ChatGPT (web) and other platforms or interfaces: 1. Manual Prompt Injection 1. Save and Load Memory 1. Use Federated Memory 1. Personal Memory Service
