What Is the Chat Thread Feature?
Chat Thread allows you to view, switch between, and continue chatting with multiple versions of your current chat session.
When you regenerate or edit a message, the app preserves the original conversation along with the new prompt and response, creating a separate thread for each version.
You can easily switch back and forth among versions, view each message thread independently, and continue the conversation based on any version you choose.
More than that, you can start a new thread at any point in the conversation. This uses all previous conversation history as context up to that point, and the new thread’s flow will be saved independently from the original path.
Why Uses Chat Threads?
- Preserve all your ideas: every time you edit or regenerate, you don't lose the earlier versions — they stay linked to their own prompt version that you make changes.
- Explore different directions: try different prompts to test your ideas without losing track of where you started.
- Compare versions easily: review how the AI response changes with different prompts or re-generations.
- Flexible continuation: choose any version to keep chatting from — perfect for branching conversations or trying alternate solutions.
- Better organization: manage complex conversations more neatly without cluttering your main thread.
