# AI Workflow

> Move one real task between AI tools without rebuilding its context.

<div className="course-meta" aria-label="Course information">
  <span><Icon icon="book-open" /> 5 lessons</span>
  <span><Icon icon="clock-3" /> \~25 min</span>
  <span><Icon icon="user-round" /> Intermediate</span>
</div>

<p className="course-intro">Use the knowledge you already saved to move one real task from one AI tool to another. You will create a work brief, leave a clear checkpoint, and continue without retelling the whole story.</p>

## What you'll build

By the end of this course, you will have a reusable workflow for a task that crosses AI sessions or tools:

<div className="learning-stages" aria-label="Workflow stages">
  <div className="learning-stage learning-stage-active">
    <span className="learning-stage-mark" aria-hidden="true" />

    <span className="learning-stage-title">Work brief</span>
  </div>

  <div className="learning-stage">
    <span className="learning-stage-mark" aria-hidden="true" />

    <span className="learning-stage-title">First pass</span>
  </div>

  <div className="learning-stage">
    <span className="learning-stage-mark" aria-hidden="true" />

    <span className="learning-stage-title">Handoff checkpoint</span>
  </div>

  <div className="learning-stage">
    <span className="learning-stage-mark" aria-hidden="true" />

    <span className="learning-stage-title">Continue</span>
  </div>

  <div className="learning-stage">
    <span className="learning-stage-mark" aria-hidden="true" />

    <span className="learning-stage-title">Close the loop</span>
  </div>
</div>

This course uses a sample task: preparing the content for a new product landing page. Replace it with a task you genuinely need to finish.

## Before you start

* Complete the [Essentials course](/essentials).
* Keep Mem running.
* Connect two AI tools you use, such as Codex and Claude Code. They must connect to the same Mem.
* Choose a task that can safely be split into two small steps.

<Note>
  Connected tools can use the same knowledge in Mem, but they do not become one shared chat. The handoff checkpoint is what tells the next tool where the work stopped and what to do next.
</Note>

## What this course does not assume

You do not need a specific AI tool or automatic transcript capture. A durable work brief and a concise handoff checkpoint are enough for the core path. If your connector saves full sessions, that history can be useful later, but it does not replace the checkpoint.
