ChatGPT is an excellent general-purpose AI for one-off questions, content generation, and varied tasks. It's like having a knowledgeable assistant you can ask anything.
HeyContext is purpose-built for users who need an AI that remembers and learns from every interaction. If you're tired of repeating yourself or want an AI that builds deep understanding over time, HeyContext is designed specifically for that.

Absolutely. Many users use ChatGPT for quick questions and one-off tasks, while using HeyContext for long-term projects and persistent memory needs. They complement each other well.
Not currently, but it's on the roadmap. HeyContext focuses on persistent memory and understanding rather than real-time information retrieval.
HeyContext starts at $10/month vs ChatGPT Plus at $20/month. For basic AI + persistent memory, HeyContext is more affordable. ChatGPT Plus includes web browsing and image generation, which adds value if you need those features.
ChatGPT's memory stores what you explicitly tell it to remember. HeyContext automatically extracts insights from every interaction, processes them in the background, and builds evolving understanding without manual prompts.
You can export your ChatGPT conversations and import them into HeyContext. There is a guide in our settings to help you with the process. The AI will process them and build understanding from your past interactions.
