I use two AI CLIs every day (one for main tasks and the other for review), and context migration is a real pain point.
My current workaround is to write the context as a Markdown file and save it to disk, then let both of two CLI to read. I'd like to ask you, what are the advantages of this tool compared to using a file as a bridge?

Why? "Summarize in detail what we're doing here and what we have done/learnt so far so another agent can continue" usually works and does not burn the full context length of tokens (uncached) in the new session.

This would be better if it was open source, and giving the option for the user to save the context in their storage (like Google drive) and load from it. I think, people might find it useful.
The target audience could be folks who use claude , chatgpt on web or as desktop clients. They hardly know or care about .md files.

Others have already pointed out the absurdity, but just to put it across. Why not just ask first agent to update AGENTS.md adding context and next steps, and ask the next agent to continue from there?

Either I'm an idiot or am missing something entirely (maybe a demo video would help?)
I've got to send it to your server so you can spit it back when I say a fancy word? What's worse, I pay you to just store/retrieve text? Why wouldn't I just write to a file?

I usually just ask the agent to create a summary document in markdown format... I'll sometimes play out what I want to do on my phone in conversational modes, then take that output and start with it against a coding tool to continue/start actual work on things.
I tend to spend a lot more time planning than what it takes to execute/build what I'm after.. then more time reviewing again than the produce step(s) and iterate.
For that matter, I'll track what I'm wanting and what has been done via TODO.md file in project(s).
I'm not sure I would ever use/trust a service like this myself. I barely trust the AI providers as it is.

This is dangerous.
You're sending your context to someone's relay in plain text and loading it in plain text.

This problem (context as code) is real, but for most individuals it’s not painful enough to paying for something or even setting up a thing.
I was having a similar product idea and quickly abandoned it after a demo ready.
