The AI-Powered Workflow That Finally Fixed My Context Switching


Context switching used to be invisible to me.
I’d bounce from code to docs to Slack to X (for “research”).
Flick open one more tab.
Get pulled into a meeting.
Forget what I was doing.
Come back to a function I barely recognized—and wonder where the time went.
It didn’t feel broken.
It felt normal.
Until I stepped back and realized something:
My brain wasn’t the bottleneck.
My workflow was.
I wasn’t tired because I was doing too much.
I was tired because I was switching between too many mental contexts, too fast, too often, without a reset or relay.
The solution wasn’t discipline.
It was an AI-powered workflow that held my focus steady while I moved.
Here’s how I built it—and why I’ll never work without it again.
Context Switching: The Real Tax on Developers Who Write
If you’re a dev-writer hybrid, you live in multiple mental universes:
Architecture logic
Frontend feedback loops
Markdown clarity
UX empathy
Terminal commands
Thought leadership posts
Each of these requires a different part of your brain.
Each switch burns cognitive fuel.
And yet most of us work as if the human brain is stateless.
Like we can tab-hop without consequence.
But here’s the truth:
Every time you switch tasks, you lose context. Every time you rebuild it, you lose time.
That’s not just annoying. It’s expensive.
I Needed One Environment That Let Me Code, Write, Think—Without Reorienting
Enter Crompt AI:
An interface that acts like a thinking OS, not just another assistant.
It’s where I built my anti-fragmentation stack—one that works across code, content, and strategy, with memory and context that follows me instead of resetting each time.
Here’s the flow.
1. Start With a Thinking Anchor → AI Companion
Every session begins with a checkpoint.
I type into AI Companion:
“Yesterday I was debugging an auth flow and writing a post about async decision-making. Here’s where I left off…”
The AI reflects it back, structures my thoughts, and asks clarifying questions.
This isn’t just “chat.”
It’s state sync.
Now, when I jump back into work, I’m not hunting for where I left off.
I’m resuming with continuity.
2. Switch Between Modes, Not Apps
Before, I used five tools:
ChatGPT for debugging
Claude for longform writing
Notion for outlining
Google Docs for drafts
StackOverflow for workarounds
Each switch broke flow.
Now, I access all major models inside one interface—GPT-4o, Claude 3, Gemini, Mistral.
I type once. See responses side-by-side. Compare logic. Pick what works.
That’s Crompt’s Multi-AI View.
One input.
Multiple minds.
No mental tab-diving.
3. Move From Code to Content With Context Carryover
As a dev-writer, I’m often explaining what I build.
With Code Explainer, I paste a block of logic and prompt:
“Explain this in simple terms for an engineering blog.”
“Add analogies where helpful.”
“Now convert that to a LinkedIn post.”
No extra tools.
No lost time rewriting for each format.
It’s contextful content generation—with dev logic preserved.
4. Anchor My Next Steps → Task Prioritizer
When I’m in flow, I lose track of everything else.
Which is great—until I resurface and ask:
“Wait, what do I actually need to do next?”
With Task Prioritizer, I feed in everything I’m juggling:
A feature release
A writing deadline
A refactor
A personal side project
The AI ranks it based on urgency, effort, and goal alignment.
Now, when I context-switch, it’s by design—not by accident.
5. Close the Loop Without Losing the Thread
Before this system, my days felt open-ended.
I’d work, get tired, and leave loose ends everywhere.
Now, I close each session with AI Companion:
“Here’s what I finished. What do I need to prep for tomorrow?”
“Summarize what I learned today.”
“Store the key takeaways.”
The next day, I start with a breadcrumb trail from past me—curated by AI.
It’s like version control for my cognition.
What Changed: From Scatter to Flow
This isn’t about being hyper-productive.
It’s about being mentally anchored.
Before:
I switched tasks 30+ times a day
I left half-finished drafts and dead threads
I constantly felt like I was “behind,” even when I was doing a lot
After:
I work in one interface
I hold context across modes (dev, writing, strategy)
I end each day with clarity—not clutter
The result isn’t just better work.
It’s a calmer, more focused mind—the kind that makes craft sustainable.
Context Switching Isn’t Inevitable. It’s a Design Problem.
If you’re straddling code and content, logic and clarity, shipping and storytelling—
you don’t need more willpower.
You need a workflow that remembers for you.
One that holds your attention when your brain gets tired.
One that lets you be a dev and a writer without dropping the thread.
One that scales with your curiosity instead of fragmenting it.
That’s what this AI-powered system gave me.
Not just more output.
Flow—on demand.
