Tired of losing brilliant tangents in endless LLM chats?
Frustrated when editing a prompt wipes out your entire history, or when long threads become impossible to navigate?
You're not alone. Every generative AI user - from casual brainstormers to researchers, writers, and prompt engineers - hits the same wall:
Linear chat interfaces simply weren't built for nonlinear thinking.
That's why we built Methodox Threads.
Threads is a linear-yet-branching text environment crafted for managing complex ideas and AI conversations - especially those that naturally fork into tangents, nested explorations, and parallel paths.
And with the new v0.7 release, Threads becomes more than an organizational tool. It a generative workspace for chat management.
Core Experience at a Glance
- Multi-pane, tree-like layout Each document lives in its own dedicated, scrollable editor. The whole structure remains visible, so you can see the big picture while diving deep into any branch.
- Natural branching From any node, spawn siblings (parallel directions) or children (deeper explorations). Build clear, persistent hierarchies without losing context.
-
Integrated Gen-AI generation (new in v0.7!)
Add a Prompt to any document and generate AI-assisted content directly into that pane.
Includes:
- Per-document generation
- Parallel, asynchronous execution
- Read-only “Generating…” overlay during output
- Global system prompt
- Configurable AI providers (OpenAI available now; Gemini, DeepSeek, Ollama, Grok coming soon)
- Custom API endpoints and custom model names
- Secure, auto-saved per-user configuration Your entire AI workflow now runs inside the branching editor itself.
- Iteration-friendly writing environment Full Markdown editing, inline notes, JSON/Markdown export, and a distraction-free dark UI. Refine AI outputs, rewrite prompts, annotate ideas - without ever resetting a thread.
- Portable & future-proof A clean JSON structure under the hood, with markdown Gen-AI folder import/export support for v0.6+ projects. Version-control your thought trees with ease.
Threads lets you shape AI conversations the way your mind naturally works: branching, revisiting, exploring alternatives, and layering insights - all without friction.
Picture exploring what-ifs in a worldbuilding document, generating multiple stylistic takes side-by-side, or running parallel reasoning chains for research - all visible at once, never buried in scrollback.
