I designed and built a concept prototype for a problem I keep hitting inside AI chat.
AI chat is modelled on SMS. Linear. One thread. Newest at the bottom.
But thinking isn't linear.
Two friction points that shouldn't exist:
You're mid-conversation and need to explore a different angle. Your only options are start over and lose context, or pollute the thread you're already in.
You organise chats by topic inside a project. But when you're on chat 15 and need to follow up on something from chat 5, there's no cross-reference. You end up asking the model if it remembers, which is not a UX.
Threaded conversations inside AI chat.
A thread branches from any message. It carries the context of that moment as its anchor. The main conversation stays intact. The model gets a focused, bounded context window, less noise, sharper answers.

Great work!
Stunning!
Most designers treat AI tools as a shortcut. That’s why their output still looks like a first draft.
Figma Make isn’t fast because it skips steps, it’s fast because it collapses the gap between thinking and building.
I’ve been using it to go from strategy straight to ready prototypes. That changes how you scope. How you price. How much revision you take in.
I broke down exactly how I use it in a walkthrough for Contra University
