It came back with twelve pages and fourteen sources. The client decided on a call, and you wrote the decision in a notes app. Five weeks later she asks what you’re still waiting for, and the report is somewhere in your chat history, among eighty other chats. ## Why a thread, not the chat it came from ### The report sits with the decision The report, Marta’s answer and your question to support are notes in one thread, in the order they happened. ### Ask it again next month Write to @GPT in the thread. It reads the report and your notes before it answers, and only you see which notes it read. ### Either app can read it ChatGPT saved it, and Claude can read it through its own connection. The report no longer depends on one chat history. ## A thread, over time Your workspace starts empty. ### Online orders: options Lumen Bakery · Waiting #### Tue 22 Sept *After deep research, ChatGPT saves the report as a note.* via **ChatGPT** · 10:05 Deep research: online orders for a bakery with three shops. 14 sources, linked at the end. | Option | Monthly fee | Per order | Customer list | |---|---|---|---| | Marketplace app | €0 | Up to 30% | The marketplace’s | | Plug-in on your own site | €29 | Card fees | Yours | | Order form and phone | €0 | Card fees | Yours | *The decision sits under the report it came from.* **You** · 12:40 Marta on the phone: no marketplace.

[Connect an assistant](https://thread.page/help/connections.md) ### The report, saved from your chat When the report is done, ask ChatGPT or Claude in the same chat to add it to the thread. It arrives as one note, with its tables and links. #### Set it up App Read and add Selected folders and threads: Lumen Bakery 1. In **Settings → Connections → Apps**, choose **Connect an app** → **Claude app** or **ChatGPT app** and follow its steps. On ThreadPage’s consent page, choose **Customize access** → **Selected folders and threads** → **Lumen Bakery**. 2. When the report is done, ask in the same chat: “Add this report to Online orders: options in ThreadPage, with all its links.” ### Ask the thread Write to @GPT or @Claude in the thread. It answers with a note, on your own API key. #### Set it up AI model Your OpenAI or Anthropic API key Pro with Sync 1. In **Settings → Connections**, open **AI models**, choose **Claude** or **GPT**, paste an API key from Anthropic or OpenAI and choose **Connect**. AI models need Pro with Sync turned on. 2. In the thread, write `@GPT` and your question, then choose **Send**. ## Also ChatGPT and Claude each have Projects, which keep chats and files together inside that app. Use a thread when the report has to sit with your own notes and the client’s decisions, where either app can read it. ## Limits - @GPT and @Claude need an API key from OpenAI or Anthropic, and the provider bills the key for every answer. A ChatGPT or Claude subscription works through the apps instead. - In a thread you share, a model answers only after you choose Allow here, and then reads only what is shared there. - ThreadPage sends what a model reads to OpenAI or Anthropic with your key. Notes aren’t end-to-end encrypted. ChatGPT, Claude, GPT, OpenAI, and Anthropic are the names of their owners. ThreadPage is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by them. ## Start with one thread.
