Guides only; not yet verified with Milton:
// Less supervision
Your assistants should know how you work before they work for you.
Save how you want replies written, tradeoffs explained, and decisions checked with you. Bring those instructions to your next conversation.
The context you keep separate.
Project files, conversation history, and factual memory can stay with the tools you use for that work. Milton holds the working instructions you choose to share.
Your writing and coding assistants can share “ask before sending” without sharing their project histories.
// Less repeating. Less paperwork.
Tell it once. Keep it on file.
Connect your assistant.
Add Milton through your assistant’s MCP or connector settings and sign in to your Milton account.
Tell it what to keep.
Ask it to save a preference with Milton. Starting from scratch? Draft your preferences together and approve the complete first draft before saving.
Bring it to the next chat.
Ask “did you get that memo?” to request your latest Milton TPS Report. Tell your assistant what to add, correct, or remove as your preferences change.
We distribute the memo. We cannot make everyone read it.Your report isn’t automatically included in every chat. Ask your assistant to read it when you start work. Following it is still up to the assistant.
// You stay in control
We won’t take your stapler.
Read your instructions. Download them as TPS.md. Run Milton yourself.
We’d prefer you keep paying us, but apparently that’s not a retention strategy.

Less repeating yourself.
One plan for your working preferences, whether you use one assistant or several.

// A few things to know
Before you connect.
Is it useful if I only use Claude?
Yes. Keep one set of working preferences across conversations with the same assistant. Connecting another assistant later is optional. If built-in preferences already do everything you need, you may not need another tool.
How is this different from memory or Supermemory?
Memory tools can store preferences too. Supermemory supports broader memory workflows, including profiles and access across assistants. Milton focuses on your shared working instructions in one complete, readable report. Keep facts, documents, and project history in the tools you already use.
Why not use custom instructions or AGENTS.md?
Those can work well. Milton gives you one place to maintain working preferences without copying changes between assistants or project files. Keep project-specific setup in those files, and ask your assistant to read Milton for shared preferences.
Which assistants can I connect?
Milton uses MCP. Your assistant needs support for a remote MCP server, sign-in, and both reading and saving through tools. Availability depends on your assistant, plan, and workspace settings. Check the setup guide before signing up.
What’s a TPS Report?
Your current working instructions, assembled into one report for you and your assistants. Milton handles the filing. The name is an Office Space reference. The paperwork is less demanding.
What do my connected assistants share?
Each can read your full current report. Save preferences you want to share, and keep private project context in its own tools. Milton doesn’t automatically import another service’s memory or your conversation history.
Assistants submit changes when you ask. Milton uses models to organize and review instructions behind the scenes. Read the privacy policy.
Will my assistant always follow my preferences?
No. Milton keeps the memo available. Ask your assistant to read it when you start work. Following your preferences still depends on the assistant.
Will I be charged after signing up?
No. Early access is free, and we don’t collect payment details. At paid launch, the plan will be $5.01 USD/month with a 30-day free trial. You won’t be charged unless you subscribe.
When that trial ends, subscribe to keep reading and saving through your assistant. Without a subscription, you can still view and download your report on the website.
Why the extra penny?
We’ve been assured the accounting software is working as intended.
Why does this exist?
Peter wanted his AI assistants to remember how he likes to work. Somehow he ended up building them a filing department.
// An imaginary productivity review
Reviewer: Walk us through a typical session.
Me: First I explain how I like to work. Then I remind it. Then it apologizes. Then I explain that I don’t need the apology.
Reviewer: How much actual work gets done?
Me: About fifteen minutes.
Yeah… I’ll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo.
