Threads

A thread is a shared conversation with AI and your team. It can begin as a question, request, automation result, working session, or team discussion.

Every thread belongs to a Space. It lives in the default Threads area or in a named channel.

Because the thread is shared, a coworker can jump in, read everything that happened, prompt alongside you, comment, or continue the work.

Start a thread

Start from a Space overview, Threads, a channel, Inbox item, Sidekick, Ping, or automation result. In the composer you can:

• Ask AI to respond or take action.
• Tag a coworker into the conversation.
• Switch to a Team message when you only want a human reply.
• Invoke a skill.
• Mention people and connected apps.
• Attach files.
• Ask AI to create documents, apps, images, or previews.

Prompt together

AI responses are the default. The response uses the Space’s model, memory, skills, connections, and conversation context.

Switch to Team message when you want to talk with coworkers without invoking AI. You can go back and forth with your team, then switch AI responses back on when you are ready for Type to act.

This keeps the team discussion and the work in one place.

Keep building from the thread

A thread can produce more than a response. Ask AI to build a document, dashboard, internal tool, or app. Your team can review it, select what should change, and keep iterating from the same conversation.

The result becomes part of the Space Library, and the thread stays attached to its history.

Work with tabs

When thread workspaces are enabled, Main keeps the thread conversation. Use New tab to create a document or app, open an existing artifact, or open a browser tab. Browser tabs use the cloud browser, or the native browser when you choose This Mac in the desktop app.

Drag tabs to reorder them or into a left or right split target to view two panes together. You can also use the tab menu to split or separate panes, and resize the divider. Your tab order and split layout are personal. Closing an artifact tab removes it from your layout without deleting the artifact.

Your document and browser tabs belong to the thread. Switching threads restores that thread’s saved tabs; switching back restores yours. Opening a document link adds that document alongside the destination thread’s existing tabs.

Send feedback to Type

Ask the AI in a thread to report a Type bug or request a feature. When it has the title and details needed, it submits the report to Type support immediately. Type includes the requesting person’s identity and workspace with the report. You can ask the AI to include steps to reproduce, expected behavior, and relevant context for a bug.

Tool calls

When AI works, Type shows its tool calls and execution steps. Open the details to see:

• Which tool or connection was used.
• What input was sent.
• Whether the call succeeded.
• What result informed the next response.

Open, closed, and private threads

Keep a thread open while it needs action. Close it when the work is done, then reopen it if the same work becomes active again.

A private thread is visible only to its participants, even if its Space is public.

Filters let you focus on open, closed, unread, private, or all conversations. Inbox state is separate. Archiving an Inbox item clears the notification, but does not close its thread.
