What drives the differences
- WhatsApp is message-based, so long-form interactive features (Canvas, Learn widgets) don't fit the medium.
- MCP clients focus on retrieval — your AI client does the chatting; Magisterium AI acts as a source.
- Mobile apps match the web experience closely, with some UI polish for touch.
Which to use when
- Heavy research or writing: web / desktop PWA.
- On the go: iOS or Android app.
- Quick question while you're out: WhatsApp.
- Inside your favorite AI assistant: MCP in ChatGPT or Claude.
Switching between them
Your account is the same everywhere — sign in and your chats, library, and personalization sync. The only exception is Incognito / Temporary Chats, which aren't saved.
