Handoffs between assistants

Stop in one AI. Pick up in another.

Research in ChatGPT, write in Claude, finish in Claude Code. Ask the one you are leaving to save a handoff, and ask the next one to pick it up: the goal, where it stands and what to do next, without pasting the chat.

Handoff: the pricing page yours only

  • Where it standsCopy drafted; the comparison table is still missing.
  • Next stepBuild the table from the three plan cards.

The short answer

How do I continue a ChatGPT conversation in Claude?

Copying the chat carries everything except what matters: how far you got and what comes next. With RelayLink connected to both, ask ChatGPT to save a handoff, then ask Claude to resume it. The handoff lands in your own account, so any assistant you connect can pick it up.

How it works

Leave a note for your next assistant.

  1. Say where you are stopping

    Ask the assistant you are in to save a handoff. It writes down the goal, where the work stands and the next step, in one go, with no approval round, because it goes to nobody but you.

  2. Open the next assistant

    Any assistant connected to the same RelayLink account: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, or the same one on another device.

  3. Ask it to pick up

    It reads the most recent handoff you have not picked up yet, and carries on from the next step.

What you would say

  • “Save a handoff. I’ll finish this in Claude.”
  • “Where did I leave the pricing page?”
  • “Pick up my last handoff.”
  • “Show me the handoffs I haven’t picked up.”

The details

What it does, and what it doesn’t.

What it does

  • Saves the goal, where the work stands and the next step, in your own account.
  • Works between any assistants you connect, in either direction, and between your devices.
  • Knows whether a handoff has been picked up yet.
  • Keeps earlier handoffs, so you can go back to one.

What it doesn’t do

  • Copy or import your chat history.
  • Reach anyone else. A handoff is addressed to you alone.
  • Email you. It waits in your account until an assistant picks it up.

Questions

What people ask, answered.

Do I need a second account for my other AI?

No. One RelayLink account works with as many assistants as you connect, each with its own sign-in or key. A handoff goes to your own account, so every one of them can see it.

Isn’t this what Claude’s memory import does?

An import moves what ChatGPT remembered about you, once. A handoff moves a piece of work in progress, with the goal, where it stands and the next step, and you can do it every day, in either direction.

Does a handoff copy the whole conversation?

No. It saves a short briefing written for whoever picks it up: what you were trying to do, how far you got and what comes next. The transcript stays where it was.

Can I hand off from Claude back to ChatGPT?

Yes. It works in any direction between assistants connected to the same account, and between two sessions of the same assistant.

What if I forget to pick up a handoff?

It waits. Asking to resume brings back the most recent handoff nobody has picked up; if every one has been, you get the latest, with when it was picked up.

Is a handoff private?

Yes. It is addressed to your own account, reaches nobody else and sends no email.

Does it work with Claude Code?

Yes. Claude Code connects the same way, which makes a handoff the easy route from a plan made in a chat to the code that builds it.
