Show HN: Segue – Save context in one AI, load it in another by a short handle

A new project called Segue wants to solve a very relatable modern headache: you start a task in one AI chatbot, switch to another, and suddenly have to re-explain your entire life story. Its pitch is simple enough for non-experts: save your work context under a short made-up word, then load it into another AI later. In theory, it’s like giving your robot helper a coat-check ticket for your unfinished thoughts.

But the comments quickly turned into a mini courtroom drama. The loudest reaction was straight-up alarm. One early commenter bluntly declared, “This is dangerous,” worrying that users are handing over sensitive notes in plain text to a third-party service. Others were less scared and more deeply unconvinced. The biggest skeptical vibe was basically: why does this need to exist? One person said they usually just stay in the app where the work began, while another argued you can just ask one AI to summarize things for the next one. Translation: why build a whole relay service when a decent handoff note already does the job?

Then came the funniest drag of the bunch: one commenter boiled Segue down to “send it to your server so you can spit it back when I say a fancy word?” Ouch. Another asked the killer everyday-person question: why not just write it to a file? Not everyone was throwing tomatoes, though — one user liked the name and suggested an open-source or self-hosted version, hinting that the idea itself has fans even if the current setup is sparking trust issues. In other words, Segue launched as a convenience tool, but the real show was the crowd arguing over whether it’s clever, risky, or just a sticky note with startup energy.
