ChatGPT Projects. Claude Collections. Gemini Gems. They are all the same thing: a folder with a system prompt. Kent is something fundamentally different.
Every major AI company has shipped "projects" or "collections." Here is what they actually are.
That is all a "project" or "collection" really is. A paragraph of instructions stapled to the top of every chat.
Each conversation is isolated. The AI forgets everything the moment you start a new thread.
ChatGPT projects only use GPT. Claude collections only use Claude. You pick one and live with its limits.
Kent connects directly to your Gmail, Notion, Google Drive, and databases. Your AI finally has context.
You leave the tab, you leave your AI. No desktop integration, no system-wide access, no hotkey.
Unless you pay $200/mo for ChatGPT Pro or opt out buried in settings. Your conversations are training data by default.
A side-by-side look at what you get with a chatbot folder versus what you get with Kent.
What you actually pay, and what you actually get.
