How it works

How Giraffe works

Giraffe is the organized layer above your AI work. It keeps the useful outcomes — the decisions, the current facts, the open questions — organized by project, so you can find what you concluded without reopening the conversation. Here’s how the four steps fit together.

The four steps

1. 01

   Work normally

   You don’t change how you use AI. Research a decision, compare options, draft a plan, troubleshoot a problem — in whatever assistant you already reach for. Giraffe sits above that work rather than in the middle of it. There’s nothing new to learn and no habit to break.

2. 02

   Save what matters

   When you reach something worth keeping — a decision, a set of current facts, a recommendation, the questions still open — you ask your AI to save it to a project. Something as plain as “Save what we concluded to my kitchen project.” Giraffe keeps the conclusion, in plain language, not the back-and-forth that produced it. You choose the moment, and you choose what goes in.

3. 03

   Open it when you need it

   Days or weeks later, when you need what you worked out, you open the project and read it. The current facts, the decisions you made, what’s still open, how things changed, and where each fact came from — in one place, in seconds. No scrolling a chat you can barely find again. Reading it, with no AI involved, is a first-class use.

4. 04

   Continue only if you want to

   Often, reading is enough. When you do want to keep going, your project isn’t trapped in the assistant that created it. Bring the current state into a new session and pick up from where you actually landed, instead of starting over. Using more than one AI is a convenience here, not the point.

What a Giraffe project keeps

A project isn’t another saved chat. It’s the state you’d want to see if you opened it cold — the synthesis, not the transcript, kept current as you add to it.

Current facts

What's true right now — the figures, dates and status you keep coming back to.

Decisions

The calls you made, and what they replaced, so you don't re-argue them later.

Open questions

What's still unresolved, gathered in one place instead of lost in a thread.

Changes

What moved over time, and where it moved from — the number that was $100k and became $80k.

Sources

Which conversation each piece came from, if you ever want to go back to it.

What it doesn’t keep

Giraffe is not a transcript archive. It doesn’t store your conversations, and it doesn’t try to remember everything you said. It keeps the conclusions you decide are worth keeping — and nothing else.

Nothing is saved on its own. Giraffe never reads your chats in the background; it only ever sees what you explicitly ask an AI to send it. If you don’t save something, it was never there. You can read, edit or delete any project yourself, any time, with no AI involved.

Who it’s for

Anyone whose real work with AI ends in something worth keeping. If you use AI to make decisions, plan a project, research a topic, or get ready for a meeting, the valuable part is a conclusion you’ll want again — often days later, often far from the chat that produced it. Giraffe is for that.

It works whether you use one assistant or several. You don’t need to switch tools or juggle accounts to get the value — see the kinds of work Giraffe fits for concrete examples.

Which AIs it works with

Giraffe works with Claude today — you turn it on in Claude’s settings, and from then on you can ask Claude to save to and read from your projects. See how to use Giraffe with Claude.

It also works with ChatGPT on a paid plan with Developer mode turned on. Gemini isn’t supported yet — its app doesn’t allow outside connections. Whatever you use, your projects stay in Giraffe, so what you concluded is never stuck inside one assistant.
