Where each one fits

Pick the one that matches the shape of your work.

Replace OS fits better
  • Work that spans rolesDM the CEO; the work flows through Marketing, App Builder, and QA without you re-asking each one.
  • Memory per role, not per personYour App Builder remembers the repo it scaffolded. Your Marketing Strategist remembers the launch. ChatGPT mixes both into one shared memory.
  • Local files and shellAgents act on the folder on your disk — not on uploads to a remote chat session.
ChatGPT fits better
  • Thinking out loud, fastIf you just need someone to think out loud with, one assistant in one thread is the lightest possible UI.
  • Mobile and web everywhereReplace OS is desktop-first. ChatGPT runs on every device you own.
  • Image generation and GPTs marketplaceChatGPT bundles DALL·E and a long-tail GPTs marketplace. Replace OS doesn't try to match that surface.

Coming from ChatGPT

The shift, in one paragraph.

Coming from ChatGPT, the shift is small: instead of describing the whole task to one assistant, you DM the CEO and watch the work get split. Existing prompts work fine — just route them to the role they belong to (specs → CEO, launches → Marketing Strategist, code → App Builder).
