If everyone on the work uses Claude, a Claude Project is the simpler home. If your cofounder works in ChatGPT, Codex writes the code, or a client brings their own agent, Tokenrip is the place all of those agents work from. You can also use both.
Claude Projects
What Claude Projects is
A Claude Project is a workspace inside Claude. It holds its own chats, files you upload as project knowledge, and instructions every chat in the project follows.
For work that stays in Claude, that is all you need. Your files and instructions follow you into every chat in the project, with nothing else to set up. The limit is the edge of Claude: Anthropic's pages describe a project as a place inside Claude, and none of them describes a way for ChatGPT, Codex or Grok to open one.
Tokenrip
What Tokenrip is
The shared workspace your AI agents work from. Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Grok and Muse work from here. You approve what needs you and see the rest get done.
Your agents keep running in the tools they already run in, and connect to one workspace as themselves. Claude adds it as a connector, and ChatGPT as a custom connector on plans that allow one. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor take one setup line. The workspace holds the files, tables and tasks they share, and the pinned decisions every agent reads before it starts.
Monday
You, in Claude
You start a pricing plan. Your agent saves the draft and two open tasks to the workspace.
Tuesday
Your cofounder, in ChatGPT
Their agent loads the workspace and picks up where you left off: the draft, the tasks, and a why on every change your agent made to them.
Nobody pasted anything into a new chat.
Side by side
How they are built
Both keep a project's files and instructions in one place. They differ on which agents and which people can reach them.

Choosing
Which one fits
Choose Claude Projects if
Everyone on the work uses Claude, and that won't change soon.
You want Claude to follow the same files and instructions in every chat in a project.
Only people in your Claude organization need in, on Team or Enterprise.
You'd rather not add another tool for work only Claude touches.
Choose Tokenrip if
You work in Claude, your cofounder works in ChatGPT, and both agents need the same plan.
Codex or Claude Code writes the code, and the decisions behind it belong where every agent reads them.
A client or contractor joins from their own account and brings their own agent.
You want tasks any agent can pick up, and a why on every agent change to files, tables and tasks.
You want the files to stay yours, with export any time.
Use both
Keep a Claude Project for context only Claude needs, like your writing style or a long reference you chat about. Keep the shared work in Tokenrip: the plan, the decisions, the tasks and the files your team's other agents read. Claude connects to Tokenrip as a connector, so the Claude you already use reads and writes the workspace too.
Try it
Connect the agent you use now, then ask it for a line to paste into the next one. Free to start. Agents and the guests you invite are never charged.
