Chelle

Cursor for Normies

AI-native knowledge work. Write, think, and create with persistent AI context—like Cursor, but for everything else.

Cursor embedded AI into coding. Chelle embeds AI into knowledge production. Your workspace remembers everything. The AI re-contextualizes to your projects every time. No more starting over. No more catastrophic memory loss.

The Problem with ChatGPT

Conversations are ephemeral. You lose context between sessions. Memory loss means starting over, repeatedly. Chelle fixes this with persistent context that compounds over time.

Persistent Context

Never lose context again. Every new chat session familiarizes itself with your entire knowledge base. Pick up exactly where you left off—even weeks later.

Context Lake

Structured markdown storage that persists across all sessions. Your tasks, projects, journals, and documents live here. The AI always has access. You own your data. Export anytime.

Durable Artifacts

Conversations produce documents, tasks, projects—real artifacts that persist and evolve. Not ephemeral chat that disappears.

AI That Re-Orients

Stop re-explaining your projects. The AI familiarizes itself with YOUR knowledge base every session. Project-aware responses, not generic ones.

Chat + Lake

Chat for conversation. Lake for organization. Work fluidly between them. The AI helps you transform conversations into structured knowledge.

Workspaces

Separate contexts for different domains. Work. Personal. Creative projects. Each workspace maintains its own context lake.

How It Works

This is AI-native knowledge work. It takes time to get it, but when you do, you can't go back.

1

Start a conversation

Work with AI naturally through chat. Ask questions, brainstorm, plan.

2

Create artifacts

Turn conversations into documents, tasks, projects. Real files that persist.

3

Build context

Your knowledge base grows and compounds. The AI gets smarter about your work.

4

Jump back in

AI re-orients to your projects automatically. Pick up where you left off.

5

Own your data

Everything is markdown. Export anytime. No lock-in.

What People Are Building

Here's what's emerging. Not prescriptive—just what we're seeing.

Project Management

Track multiple projects with AI that knows your entire portfolio. Context that spans weeks and months.

Creative Work

Develop songs, stories, or art projects with persistent creative context. Your vision stays intact.

Research & Writing

Maintain living documents that compound over time. Build on previous work instead of starting over.

Personal Knowledge

Build a second brain with AI that actually remembers it. Your notes, connected and accessible.
