A workspace for ongoing work with AI

Keep your work moving across AI conversations.

Talk a problem through with AI. If part of the discussion will matter later, you choose it. Next time, a new conversation starts from what you chose, not from everything that was said.

Try the guided example

The guide is a prepared demo in three short steps, with no account needed. The film shows a different example.

Moments in an example · a team deciding what its first release should support

  1. Discuss

    Should the first release support CSV only, or CSV and OFX?

    AI wording · illustrative

    CSV first keeps the initial validation scope smaller.

    CSV and OFX together covers more import cases, but the OFX path still needs validation.

    Nothing is Current yet.

  2. Choose, if useful

    Start with CSV. Reconsider OFX after its validation is complete.

    Condition · confirmed by you

    Do the support instructions cover import failures?

    Open question · confirmed by you

    Only what you confirm is carried forward. Keeping nothing is fine too.

  3. Continue

    Later · a new conversation starts from Current · 2 chosen items

    How should we describe import support at launch?

    It starts from what you chose, not from the whole earlier chat.

See how one conversation becomes a useful starting point for the next.

Explore more than one direction. Keep only what you want to carry forward. Then begin a new conversation with that chosen starting point.

An illustrative example of the way of working. The film follows a writing project; the interactive example follows a product launch.

1 · Explore

Explore different directions without deciding yet.

Try another approach, question an assumption, or leave something unresolved. A conversation can be useful even when you keep nothing from it.

Nothing is Current yet. Neither direction is Current.

Two possible launch scopes. You can keep thinking, choose part of either, or leave both as discussion.

2 · Return

Return with a clear starting point.

One project, different conversations, a history you can return to.

Bring the decisions, conditions and open questions you chose into a new conversation. Spend less time piecing together what you meant to carry forward.

Starts from Current · 2 chosen items

The other conversation is not an input.

One launch project holds separate conversations about import development and launch messaging. Its History lets you return to each conversation and to a confirmed change; Current shows what you chose for the next discussion.

3 · Change

Change your mind without losing how you got here.

When the situation changes, revisit the condition behind your earlier choice. Update what you want to use now, while keeping the earlier wording and its source available to inspect.

Earlier versions remain distinguishable.

4 · Still open

Open question · unchanged

Release validation note · version 1 and version 2Unchanged

The import failure guide is still incomplete.

OFX validation is now complete. The earlier plan stays unchanged until you confirm a correction. The new plan still carries an open support condition.

Find the original, even when you only remember the idea.

Look for a passage, inspect its exact wording and version, and decide whether to use it in your next question. Finding something does not automatically make it part of the answer.

Original passage

AI wording · illustrative

CSV and OFX together covers more import cases, but the OFX path still needs validation.

CSV and OFX release scope · turn 2 · reply · revision 1

Then you decide

  • Open it to read the passage in its original conversation, at revision 1.
  • Use it as input for your next question, only if you choose to.

Until you choose, nothing is selected or sent, and Current does not change.

A search for “why did we leave OFX out?” returns the earlier passage with its conversation and revision identified.

Review related work together.

When a question spans more than one Matter, choose which ones to review together. Inspect the answer and its basis before deciding whether anything should change.

Question

What still needs to happen before this release scope is ready?

Read-only answerAI wording · illustrative

The launch scope includes CSV and OFX, conditional on completed support instructions. Support readiness still records the import failure guide as incomplete. That support condition remains open.

This answer read:

  • First-release scope · Current version 2
  • Support readiness · s1

No sources chosen.

Neither Matter changed.

Launch scope and support preparation, reviewed together. The answer changes neither.

Keep the important distinctions clear.

What was discussed. What you chose. What remains open. What a source actually said. Rodspan keeps these distinctions visible as the work develops.

Do I have to keep something after every conversation?
No. You can explore, get a useful answer and leave without changing Current. Keeping something is a choice, not a closing ritual.
What does Current mean?
The material you have explicitly chosen to carry forward in a Matter. It can include a decision, a condition, a competing possibility or an open question.
Does a new conversation use all my old chats?
No. A new Matter conversation starts from the approved Current and the inputs you explicitly add. Supported history can be found separately; a search result does not silently become an input.
What happens when I change my mind?
Review and confirm a correction to what you want to use now. Earlier versions remain distinguishable. An older conversation keeps its recorded starting basis.
Can AI change Current for me?
AI can suggest material. Changing Current requires your explicit confirmation.
Can I try the product now?
You can try the illustrative examples without an account. Public product access and plans are not open yet. Sign in is for existing accounts.
