AI Threads are where you can view your conversations with the AI assistant in each project
AI Threads are found in Inkstone under the icon in the right-hand panel. Threads are associated with projects, so when you alternate between projects, you will see a different set of threads.Threads are conversations with Inkstone’s AI tools. Each thread maintains context, so you can have ongoing discussions about your research and writing. Think of them as chat conversations that remember what you’ve discussed, can be revisited anytime, and stay attached to your project.
Starting at the toolbar, threads are created automatically when you start a Deep Research query, run a Web Search, use Proofreading or Fact Checking, or begin a new AI conversation. By default, research tools open in a new thread—you can uncheck “Open in new thread” to continue in your current conversation instead.
Open threads appear as tabs at the top of the AI panel. Click any tab to switch to that conversation. New threads open to the right of existing tabs, so you can have multiple research threads open at once and switch between them as needed.Closing a tab (click the ×) just hides the thread from view. You can always reopen it later from the dropdown, by clicking the .
The dropdown menu shows all threads in your project. Select any thread to open it in a new tab. This is useful for returning to earlier research or continuing a conversation you closed.To permanently archive a thread you no longer need, use the archive option in the dropdown. Archived threads won’t clutter your list, but the conversation history is preserved.
Threads are automatically named based on your first query or the type of tool you used. A Deep Research about productivity might become “Evidence-based focus strategies.” This makes it easy to scan your thread list and find what you’re looking for.
Because threads maintain context, you can ask follow-up questions without re-explaining what you’re working on. Ask “Tell me more about the economic factors” and the AI knows you’re still discussing the French Revolution from earlier in the conversation.
You:_ What are the main causes of the French Revolution?_AI:_ [Provides detailed response about causes]_You:_ Tell me more about the economic factors._AI:_ [Expands on economic causes, knowing the context]_
Threads belong to your project, not individual documents. All documents in a project share the same threads, so research you do for one document is accessible from any other document in that project. This makes it easy to build up a library of research that supports your entire project.
