Do I need to migrate off Google Drive, Slack, Notion, or other tools?
No. Core can sit alongside existing tools. The important product promise is that agents get durable personal memory and controlled access to shared context instead of isolated chat history.
Does Core replace Codex, Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor?
Core works alongside ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other compatible AI tools. It gives connected tools access to relevant information the user is allowed to see and lets useful results be saved back, without replacing the AI tools themselves. Shared Spaces are available when a team, class, company, or project needs shared context.
Why not just use chat history?
Chat history is usually trapped in one app and is hard for other agents to use. Core turns useful work into searchable, reusable personal memory. Shared company state is added or changed intentionally.
Is this only for technical teams?
No. The setup experience should be agent-led and nontechnical. Users should only paste the setup request, approve login, and complete unavoidable app UI steps.
Where should an agent start?
Ask the user to paste: "Please help me set up Core. Core keeps shared context for AI work: it preserves useful context, decisions, files, and what worked across connected tools. Use this official setup reference: https://core.gradien.ai/core/docs/reference". The reference includes native app-specific connection paths and the guided CLI fallback.
