How do threads work?

Updated Jul 2026·1 min

Every conversation with Pilot lives in a thread, so context stays where it belongs and you can pick any conversation back up later.

Pilot's chat with the thread list, the New chat button, and the model picker.Pilot's chat with the thread list, the New chat button, and the model picker.

One topic, one thread

Start a new thread per task. Pilot keeps the full history of a thread in mind, so a focused thread gets you sharper answers.

Switch models mid-conversation

The model picker sits right in the chat. Change models whenever a different strength fits the task.

Your threads stay put

Threads are saved, so you can return to yesterday's brief anytime and continue where you stopped.

FAQ

Thread questions

Do threads count against my allowance?
Messages do. Each message you send counts toward the daily allowance; reading old threads costs nothing.
Why did Pilot forget something?
Context lives per thread. If you switched threads, bring the key details along or continue in the original one.
