What makes it different
Your conversations,
Your conversations,
as a thinking archive.
ChatGPT and Claude treat chats as disposable. Shin treats them as something worth keeping — scoped, summarized, searchable.

FAQ
What people actually ask
Straight answers about memory, search, and how Shin compares to ChatGPT and Claude.
Can I search my old ChatGPT or Claude conversations inside Shin?
Shin is its own AI chat app, not a ChatGPT or Claude plugin, so it searches chats you have in Shin. The difference is that every chat in Shin is automatically summarized, tagged, and semantically indexed — so three months from now, 'why did we pick rollback netcode?' finds the exact chat where you figured it out.
How is this different from ChatGPT or Claude?
ChatGPT and Claude treat conversations as disposable. Great for the moment, useless two weeks later when you try to find one. Shin is built around the opposite assumption: your chats are a thinking archive worth keeping. Workspaces scope context, auto-summaries let you skim, and related past chats surface automatically when you start new ones.
Is there a ChatGPT alternative with memory across conversations?
That's exactly the gap Shin fills. Instead of asking the model to 'remember,' Shin keeps structured memory outside the model: auto-summaries, extracted decisions, and connected chats surface automatically in a sidebar when the current conversation relates to something you worked on before.
How do workspaces help me organize AI chats?
Workspaces are scoped contexts — your game-dev chats, writing chats, and research chats stay separate. Search stays clean. Related-chat suggestions stay relevant. No more scrolling past 400 unrelated conversations to find the one you actually need.
