# Overview

> Connect CORE to messaging apps and AI providers

Your butler is one brain with multiple access points. Talk to it from messaging apps, or plug it into your AI tools to give them persistent memory and actions.

## Two Ways to Use CORE

### Talk to Your Butler

Message your butler directly through messaging apps. Ask questions, manage your apps, get summaries, spin up a Claude Code or browser session on your machine — all through chat, from any device.

### Extend Your Butler to Your Dev Tools

Your butler's memory and toolkit can reach into any MCP-compatible AI tool — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and more. Connect once and every tool shares the same brain: same memory, same context, same action layer, wherever you're building.

|              | Channels                                                   | Dev Tools                                                    |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **What**     | Chat directly with your butler                             | Your butler's memory + actions inside your coding tools      |
| **Best for** | Tasks, mobile access, managing apps, proactive automations | Coding workflows, persistent project context, in-IDE actions |

Use both — memory is shared across everything. One butler, everywhere you work.
