Threads

Your thread is the one conversation you have with Atoi. Your workspace has exactly one, and it keeps your request, Atoi's questions, your decisions, the work it ran, and the result in order. There is no sidebar of chats to choose from, and nothing to file before you start.

#Start one

On the web your home is a thread. Open it with nothing said and Atoi thinks, then asks what you want to do. To ask something of your own, press ⌘N or choose Ask Atoi, and say what you want to end up with. There is no setup step and no separate code mode.

Attach only the context the request needs. Type @ to add a project, a document, an agent, or a computer when it explains something your words cannot.

#What a thread keeps

Read a thread top to bottom and you see the whole chain:

1. what you asked for;
2. what Atoi needed to clarify;
3. what you decided or approved;
4. what ran;
5. what came back, with proof.

Long work becomes a Task. The task keeps its own state, and its receipt comes back into the thread, so you never read a log to learn what happened.

While Atoi works, the thread says what it is doing, such as Atoi is searching. Dividers mark the time and the point where you last read. Right-click a message to see its actions.

#File it in a project

When a thread belongs with others, file it in a Project. Filing adds context; it does not move, copy, or rewrite the thread. Atoi may propose the project itself, and you can always see and undo the move.

#Share it

Everyone in your workspace can see the thread. Add a person as a workspace member and the conversation comes with it. Publishing is different: it makes a read-only public page. Read Sharing and invites before you widen access.

#Pick it up on another app

Threads work fully on the web and in the terminal. Open the same thread from Ideas or search on the web, or continue it in the terminal. The Apple and Android apps open the same thread record and are still catching up on what you can do there.

Some commands and routes still say "thread" and some older copy says "conversation". They are the same thing.
