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.
