Avoid AI lock-in
Switch AI Assistants Without Losing Useful Context
Keep approved files and durable facts available when you change AI assistants, without trying to migrate every old chat.
An everyday example
Change the assistant without rebuilding the project
A homeowner researches a renovation with one AI, then prefers a different assistant for budgeting. The approved measurements, contractor proposals, and final decisions stay in DiskDrive and are available to the new assistant after separate authorization.
- 1
Separate signal from chat. Review the work and save the materials that will matter next month or next year.
- 2
Revoke independently. Disconnect the old AI if you no longer want it to access the archive.
- 3
Continue on your terms. Connect the new AI and grant only the scopes needed for the next task.
Plain answers
What to know before connecting an AI
What should I save before switching AI tools?
Save reusable outputs, confirmed facts, stable preferences, and source documents. Most casual conversation does not need to become durable memory.
Must the new AI import my old chats?
No. The new assistant retrieves authorized durable items from DiskDrive. Your prior provider’s private chat transcript stays separate.
