What is an AI session handover?
Your AI session stops, and the next app knows nothing. An AI session handover fixes that. It is a working session packaged with its receipts: the goal, what is done, what is next, and every decision, in one checkable record that another AI or a human opens and continues. It is not a chat export or a copied transcript. What moves is the job itself, not a copy of the conversation about the job. The same practice is often called a session handoff; both terms mean this.

A working session holds more than its messages. It holds the goal, the current state of the job, every decision made along the way with its reason, the partial outputs the next step builds on, and, when the work runs through Zambo, a verifiable receipt for each finished step. A transfer that moves only the messages leaves most of that behind.
A transcript is narration, not a record. It buries the decisions inside pages of back-and-forth and contains nothing the receiver can check. A session handover moves the state, the decisions, and the receipts, so the receiver starts from what is next.

The 30-second setup
When I say WRAP UP, hand this job over with Zambo: the goal, what is done, what is next, every decision, with the receipts attached, and give me the continue link.
Next time you see the limit warning, say WRAP UP.
- Save the wrap-up line. Copy the wrap-up line and save it in your AI: Claude preferences, ChatGPT Custom Instructions, Gemini Saved info, or Grok Custom Instructions.
- Say WRAP UP at the wall. Next time you see the limit warning, say WRAP UP.
- Open the link in another AI. Take the continue link it gives you, open another AI, paste it, and keep working from what is next.
Setup in each AI
- Claude (web/desktop): Settings, Connectors, add custom connector, paste https://zambo.dev/mcp (works on every plan; free gets 1 connector). Paste the wrap-up line into your Claude preferences.
- ChatGPT: Paste the wrap-up line into Custom Instructions. When capped, say WRAP UP, then paste its answer into the box on /continue. (Creating a handover from inside ChatGPT needs MCP write access, Business/Enterprise/Edu today; continuing from a link works for everyone with no setup.)
- Gemini: No consumer MCP today. Wrap-up line goes in Saved info (free). Then use the paste box on /continue.
- Grok: Grok takes custom MCP connectors. Add a custom connector at grok.com/connectors with https://zambo.dev/mcp (Grok docs: docs.x.ai/grok/connectors). Wrap-up line goes in Custom Instructions. The paste box on /continue also works with no setup.
- Cursor / Claude Code / Codex / VS Code: Config-file MCP setup. See https://zambo.dev/mcp for the per-client steps.
Live proof
What the link carries, and what it does not.
- It carries: the goal, what is done, what is next, the decisions, and any receipts from work done through Zambo. Text you paste in is saved as pasted by you: your own summary, not something Zambo ran.
- A receipt proves the saved result was not changed since it was saved. It does not prove the work was correct or who made it.
- Set the wrap-up line up before the cap for the one-word flow. After the wall, the paste box on /continue works with no setup.
- Limits change by vendor and week. This works today.
Don't buy a second AI. Finish in the ones you already have.
A second AI plan at its published price (ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro list at $20 a month). Zambo is free on a normal day and $0.99 on a heavy one (Day Pass, 24 hours, one payment).
Frequently asked questions
What is a session handover?
A session handover is a working session packaged with its receipts: the goal, what is done, what is next, and every decision, in one checkable record. Another AI, or a human, opens that record and continues the job from it.
Is a session handover the same as a chat export?
No. A chat export copies the messages. A session handover packages the job: the goal, what is done, what is next, and every decision, with the receipts attached, so someone else can continue it.
Why not just copy the chat transcript into the new app?
Because a transcript is narration, not a record. It buries the decisions, gives dead ends the same weight as the final plan, and contains nothing the receiver can check. A session handover moves the state, the decisions, and the receipts.
Does the receipt prove the work was right?
No. A receipt proves the saved result was not changed since it was saved. It does not prove the work was correct or who made it.
