What is Workunit?

Workunit is the persistent memory layer for AI-assisted work. It gives every AI tool you use, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, and more, a shared, up-to-date understanding of your projects, so you stop re-explaining context every session and start building faster.

The problem: most AI tools only see your current conversation. Every new session is a blank slate. Yesterday's decisions, completed tasks, and project context are gone. Workunit fixes this by acting as a universal context layer that any MCP-compatible AI tool can read and write to in real time.

Workunits are the core building block. Each one captures a problem statement, success criteria, a task breakdown with priorities and dependencies, time tracking, and a full history of progress. Structured, persistent, and AI-readable.

Trail-of-Thought saves every decision made, approach attempted, and insight discovered as a structured context atom. When you return to a project or switch AI tools, your next session picks up exactly where the last one left off.

Asset Inventory lets you document your entire organization once and link everything to workunits so any AI instantly understands the full context before you ask your first question:

  • Products, features and roadmap
  • Tech stack and infrastructure
  • Team members, roles and availability
  • Knowledge base, docs and conventions

Cloud Execution sends AI agents directly into your GitHub repositories. In Explore Mode, the agent reads your codebase and returns grounded task suggestions with file references and effort estimates. In Implement Mode, it clones the repo, writes code, runs tests, and opens a pull request. Bring your own API keys, no Workunit execution fees.

MCP Integration connects any compatible AI tool in under 60 seconds, including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code, Zed, and Ollama. Your AI can then create workunits, update task status, leave trail of thoughts, and navigate your documentation without leaving your coding environment.

Projects, Check-ins and Collaboration keep teams aligned. Organize workunits into projects, set up recurring async check-ins, and use unified search across all workunits, tasks, assets, and documentation.

Built for solo founders, agencies, dev teams, and AI power users who work across multiple models daily.
