Thinkpool FAQ

Thinkpool is a shared AI conversation for two people — one thread, two humans, one AI that waits to be asked. The questions we get most:

What is Thinkpool?

Thinkpool is a shared AI conversation for two people. Both of you write into the same thread — together or one at a time — and one AI (called Pool) joins in when asked. It is built for thinking through decisions, situations, and ideas together instead of alone.

Can two people use one AI conversation at the same time?

Yes — that is exactly what Thinkpool is. Two people share one live conversation thread with one AI. Both can write at the same time, see each other’s messages instantly, and bring the AI in when they want its take. It works asynchronously too — one of you can drop in later and pick up the thread where it left off.

How is Thinkpool different from ChatGPT or Claude?

ChatGPT and Claude are built for one person talking to an AI. Thinkpool is built for two people thinking together with an AI in the room. Both people write into the same thread — no screen sharing, no copy-pasting between separate chats, no taking turns at one keyboard.

Does the AI reply to every message?

No. Pool waits to be asked. You and your partner can talk to each other freely; the AI only responds when one of you taps it in. The room is yours.

Does my partner need an account?

No. You create a session and share the link. Your partner joins with their own free account; only the session creator’s plan determines which features apply.

What do people use Thinkpool for?

Making hard decisions together (co-founders on a hire, a couple on a move), processing a situation with someone outside it, drafting something two people have to ship, untangling a problem — or anything else you would rather think through with company.

What are whispers?

A side channel inside the session that your partner can read but Pool (the AI) cannot. For the parts you would rather not say in front of the AI.

How much does Thinkpool cost?

Free: 50 AI responses a month and 5 sessions. Plus: €10/month for 1,000 AI responses, unlimited sessions, and export (€8/month billed annually). Pro: €20/month for 5,000 AI responses plus bring-your-own-key support (€16/month billed annually). Enterprise: custom pricing for teams.

What is BYOK (bring your own key)?

On Pro and Enterprise, you can connect your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, or Groq. Usage on your own key does not count toward your monthly limit — you pay your provider directly at their rates.

What AI model does Thinkpool use?

Google’s Gemini Flash family — paid plans use Gemini 2.5 Flash, the Free plan uses Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite. Pro and Enterprise users can bring their own key to use other providers instead.

Can I export my conversations?

On Plus, Pro, and Enterprise — yes. Every session exports to Markdown or JSON, every field included. The Free plan does not include export.

Where is my data stored?

In the EU. Thinkpool runs on Supabase hosted in Frankfurt, Germany. See the Privacy page for sub-processors, retention, and your rights.
