Getting Started with SynContext¶
Get your AIs sharing context in under 5 minutes.
1. Create your account¶
- Go to syncontext.dev/app
- Click Sign Up and enter your email + password (min 8 characters)
- Your API key is displayed on the confirmation screen
- Check your email for a verification link (required to access the dashboard)
Save your API key immediately. It is shown only once at registration. If you lose it, you can regenerate one in Settings — but the old key will stop working.
Your API key works right away. You can connect Claude and ChatGPT immediately, even before verifying your email. Email verification is only required for dashboard login.
2. Connect your first AI¶
Choose your AI client and follow the connection guide:
- ChatGPT — Connect ChatGPT
- Claude Desktop / Claude.ai / Claude Code — Connect Claude
You can connect as many AI clients as you want. They all share the same context.
3. Store your first context¶
Once connected, ask your AI to store something:
Store this context in SynContext:
Project: my-app
Title: Tech stack decision
Content: We're using React + Vite for the frontend and Python + Starlette for the backend API.
The AI will call hub_store_context and confirm the entry was saved.
4. Verify sync works¶
Open a different AI client (e.g., if you stored from Claude, now open ChatGPT) and ask:
You should see the entry you just stored. That's cross-AI sync working.
5. Explore the dashboard¶
Visit syncontext.dev/app to:
- Browse your projects and context entries
- Search across everything with keyword, semantic, or hybrid search
- View edit history and roll back changes
- Export data as JSON
- Manage your account and API key
See the Dashboard Guide for a full walkthrough.
