# Conversations, history and sharing in MITHUNAI Chat

> What MITHUNAI Chat keeps: thread history, search, bookmarks, saved prompts, temporary chats, side-by-side replies and sharing inside your organisation.

MITHUNAI Chat keeps every thread you start in your history, in your organisation's own Chat, until
you delete it. You can find threads again by search, tag them with bookmarks, reuse saved prompts,
start a temporary chat that is not kept, and share a read-only link to a thread with colleagues --
**never with the public**.

## Your history

Every thread appears in the rail, newest first, and is named for you after its first reply. From a
thread's menu in the rail you can rename it or delete it. To find an old one, press **Ctrl+K** (**⌘K**
on a Mac) and type part of it: the command palette searches your chats.

Your threads are yours: colleagues do not see them unless you share one. They are stored in your
organisation's Chat, which serves your organisation alone.

## Keep and reuse your work

| Feature | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Bookmarks** | Tag threads with your own labels and filter the rail by them |
| **Prompts** | Save a prompt you use often and insert it into the message box from **Prompts** |
| **Temporary Chat** | Start a thread that is not added to your history. Use it for something you do not want to keep |
| **Side by side** | Send the same message to two models at once and compare their replies in one thread |
| **Feedback** | Rate a reply up or down |

## Share a thread

1. Open the thread's menu and choose **Share**.
2. Create the link and copy it.
3. Send it to a colleague.

A shared link is a **read-only copy** of the thread at the moment you shared it; later messages are
not added. **It opens only for someone signed in to your organisation's Chat.** Public links are
switched off, so a link that leaks outside your organisation shows a sign-in page, not the thread.
Delete the link to stop it working.

Check a thread before you share it: it includes everything in it -- your messages, replies, attached
files' text, and what the Knowledge tool returned.

## Agents, skills and scheduled chats

Chat can save a setup you use repeatedly. These are features of Chat itself, and on by default:

* **Agents in Chat** -- a saved combination of instructions, a model and tools such as **Knowledge**,
  which you pick for a new thread. An agent here is a saved chat setup; it is not
  [MITHUNAI Agents](https://docs.mithunai.com/agents/overview.md), which is a separate MITHUNAI surface. One reply from an agent takes at most ten
  steps.
* **Skills** -- saved instruction bundles a thread can apply. A skill is yours alone: skills cannot be
  shared or made public, and they run no code.
* **Scheduled chats** -- a saved agent run on a timetable with nobody present, for example a morning
  summary. Each person can have **up to three**, at least **four hours apart**; at most two run at
  the same moment; and a schedule is switched off after three failed runs. Every run is a Gateway
  request that counts against your organisation's usage.

> [!WARNING]
>
> A skill can be written by the model during a chat and kept. If a thread draws on content you do
> not control, review your **Skills** now and then and delete any you did not mean to keep.

## What is not kept, and what is not shared

* **Temporary chats** are not added to your history.
* **Threads, bookmarks, prompts, agents, skills and schedules** stay with your account in your
  organisation's Chat. None of them is shared with colleagues unless you share a thread's link.
* **Attached files** are kept with the thread they were attached to, for that thread only. They are
  not added to your knowledge.
