My Contexts
Context files are the heart of ContextFile.ai. They use a 12-field schema to tell AI assistants who you are, what you do, and how you prefer to communicate.
What is a Context File?
A context file is a structured document containing 12 rich-text fields that help AI assistants provide relevant, personalized responses. Instead of explaining who you are every time you start a new chat, share your context file link and AI instantly knows your background, expertise, and preferences.
"Here's my context: contextfile.ai/john
Help me write a technical blog post about React hooks."
→ AI knows your background, style, and audience instantly
"I'm a senior React developer with 8 years of experience. I prefer technical depth with code examples. My audience is intermediate developers. I like concise explanations..."
→ You repeat this every single conversation
