How to stop re-explaining your work to ChatGPT
The short version: Opsis is the interface for your work. It knows what you're doing and helps right where you are, with a tap. It sits on top of every app you use, and it helps before you think to ask. ChatGPT starts from a blank page unless you paste the project. Opsis was already there when the work happened, so the brief, the thread and the last decision don't live only in a chat.
Chat assistants are excellent once you paste the project. They start from a blank page every new chat unless you maintain memory, projects or uploads yourself. Coding-oriented “project memory” tools (Knownbase, projectmem, and similar) crowd that query for developers. This page is for school and desk work, not a repo.
How it compares.
Where the context lives
| Tool | Knows this assignment without a paste | You still use ChatGPT for |
|---|---|---|
| Opsis | Yes, from the apps you share and optional Drive/Docs, Slack, Notion, GitHub, Microsoft 365 connections | Open-ended thinking, if you want a second model. Many people use both. |
| ChatGPT (plain chat) | No. New chat, new briefing, unless you use its own memory/projects features | Drafting and explaining once it has context |
| ChatGPT Projects / custom GPTs | Only the files you uploaded into that project | The same project, until the live work drifts |
| Dev “project memory” apps | Usually the repository, not the essay in Docs | Code |
Figures and shutdown dates come from the sources at the bottom, or from this site's own product copy. We don't invent competitor features.
Who it's for.
Students and writers who paste the same Canvas brief into ChatGPT three times a week. Not the primary page for software engineers looking for repo memory.
Your data.
Opsis only follows the apps you share. Private windows and password managers are never recorded. When assistance is on, content from those apps is processed in the cloud, encrypted in transit and at rest. There is zero data retention with our AI providers. You can pause, disconnect a source or delete your history whenever you like. Read the privacy policy · How Opsis handles data.
A practical split
Use Opsis for the work already in motion: the file, the catch, the next paragraph, in the app you are in, with a tap. Use ChatGPT when you want a blank-page argument, a quiz, or a second opinion.
FAQ
Does Opsis replace ChatGPT?
No. It's the interface that already knows your work. A chat window still helps when you want to think out loud about something new.
Does Opsis train on my chats?
We don't improve Opsis on your data unless you opt in, and that starts off. There is zero data retention with our AI providers.
