About Nessie

Nessie
The shared context layer for recursive companies - your work, your…
Knowledge work is being restructured by AI. Strategy happens in Claude. Research happens in ChatGPT. Building happens in Claude Code and Codex.

But none of that thinking compounds. Every session starts from zero.
