AI is an uncharted journey we're all embarking on.
Your Rucksack is personal context that you build, own and control. It plugs into the AI apps you use, such as ChatGPT and Claude, and makes them perform better. It also turns your AI into a learning guide, helping you develop your AI knowledge and skills as you naturally chat with it.
It's free, self-directed and yours to change to suit your situation and skill level.
We're all finding our way with AI.
Your Rucksack holds what you want your AI to know about you and how you work. It connects to the AI apps you already use, such as ChatGPT and Claude, so their answers fit you better. It also turns your AI into a guide that teaches you about AI while you chat the way you normally do.
It's free, you set it up your way, and you can change it whenever you like.
How it works
Your Rucksack is a set of files that you own, control and customise: your details, memory, instructions and skills. Your AI reads it at the start of a chat, uses it during your conversation and saves back to it when something important comes up or you ask. This helps each AI app understand you, give you better responses and keep learning and improving with you.
How it works
Your Rucksack is a set of files that belong to you. They hold who you are, what's worth remembering, how you like AI to work with you and the tasks you've taught it. At the start of a chat your AI reads them, during the chat it uses them, and it adds to them when something important comes up or you ask. That way each AI app gets to know you and gives you better answers over time.
The learning map is a set of curated and continually updated learning concepts, activities and resources. Your AI uses it to teach you things as they naturally arise in your conversations, or directly if you ask.
Your Rucksack personalises the learning to suit you and tracks your progress. It's an always-on tutor that helps you navigate the ever-changing AI landscape.
The learning map is a list of the things worth knowing about AI, with ideas, activities and links to learn from, kept up to date. Your AI uses it to teach you when a topic comes up in your chats, or straight away if you ask.
Your Rucksack picks what suits you and keeps track of what you've learned. It's a tutor that's always there while AI keeps changing.
Start your journey
Rucksack is for everyone, whatever your skill level or ambition. Start with a Daypack to try it out, move up to a Rucksack when you're ready.
Start your journey
Rucksack is for anyone who uses AI, whatever your experience. Try a Daypack first, then move up to a Rucksack when you want more.
Daypack
For those who mainly use one AI chatbot, and want to pick up tips and tricks as they go. You paste a few lines into your AI app's instructions and use a dedicated chat to store your context.
Daypack
For people who mostly use one AI app and want to pick up tips as they go. You paste a few lines into that app's instructions (the place where you tell it how to behave), and keep one chat just for this, where it holds what it learns about you.
Rucksack
For those already with some AI experience, or if you want to learn quickly. You create the full Rucksack in your free GitHub account and connect it to your AI apps using the GitHub connector. You can customise things how you want them, use the same context in more than one app, and track your learning progress.
Rucksack
For people who already use AI a fair bit, or want to learn faster. You make your Rucksack as a set of files in your own free GitHub account (a free place online to keep files), then connect your AI apps to it. You can shape it how you like, use it in more than one app and see your progress.

A starting point that's yours to shape
Rucksack exists to help everyone adapt to and excel with AI. The best way to learn AI is to use it, so the learning is built into the tools you already use and is designed to be practical and personalised.
Your current AI tool already has all the answers, Rucksack just provides you with the right questions to ask. It's structured in a way that you own your own data and can continually adapt and improve as AI inevitably evolves. It's a starting point, and it's yours to customise, grow and change however you wish.
Rucksack is new and is being tested in the open. Your feedback shapes what comes next, so please tell me what's helpful and what isn't at hello@openrucksack.com.
A starting point that's yours to shape
Rucksack is here to help you do well with AI. The best way to learn it is to use it, so the learning happens inside the apps you already use, on things you actually do.
Your AI already knows a lot. Rucksack helps you ask it better questions. The files belong to you, so you can keep them and change them as AI changes. It's a starting point, and you can shape it however you like.
