Agents come with Pro and Team. - **Can an agent run on a schedule?** Yes, with a routine. Cadences look like Daily 09:30. - **Will an agent do things without asking me?** No. Autonomy is off until you turn it on, and high-risk actions always ask. - **What is the agent inbox?** The Action Plane, where agents bring you decisions they cannot make alone. - **Can several agents work together?** Yes: an org chart, delegation, meetings, and crew runs. - **Where do agents run?** In the cloud today. Local execution runs through a bridge integration. - **Where do the reports my agents write live?** The Artifacts tab under Agents, with every version kept. ### Benefits and differentiation - **Why use GPTree instead of staying in a single chat?** Single-thread chat is fine for simple tasks. GPTree becomes valuable when you need to explore multiple options, preserve what you tried, compare outputs, and avoid muddying the main context. - **How is GPTree different from built-in chat branching in other products?** GPTree is built around conversation version control as the product, not as a lightweight add-on feature. The broader value comes from structured branching, cleaner organization, provider flexibility, synthesis, and export. - **Why not just open multiple tabs?** Multiple tabs create fragmentation. GPTree keeps related paths connected to the same source context, making it easier to compare, understand provenance, and merge the right result back into the main workflow. - **How does GPTree reduce wasted AI work?** It helps users keep the paths they explored instead of repeating the same prompts or losing useful outputs. That saves time, reduces rework, and makes it easier to build on prior thinking. - **Does GPTree help with auditability and traceability?** Yes. One advantage of structured branching is that users can preserve how an output evolved instead of only seeing the final answer. That can be valuable for teams that want more transparency in AI-assisted work. - **What makes GPTree valuable for teams?** Teams often need repeatability, documentation, cleaner handoffs, and more control over how AI-generated work is produced. GPTree supports that by turning scattered experimentation into a more structured workflow. - **What is GPTree's biggest differentiator?** The biggest differentiator is combining branching with meaningful synthesis. Branching alone creates options. GPTree is built to help users compare, merge, and continue from the best path. ### Branching, comparing, and merging - **How does branching work?** Branching lets you fork a conversation from any useful point. Instead of overwriting the main thread, you create a separate path to explore a different idea, answer, direction, tone, or strategy while keeping the parent context intact. - **Can I branch from any message?** Yes. GPTree is designed around branching from meaningful points in a conversation, not only from the latest message. That makes it easier to revisit the exact moment where the conversation was still on the right track. - **Why is branching useful?** Branching is useful when you want to test alternatives without destroying the original thread. It is especially valuable for coding, writing, research, planning, prompt tuning, and decision-making. - **What is context isolation?** Context isolation means each branch stays focused on the path it inherited at the fork point instead of mixing in every later experiment from the parent thread. That helps reduce context pollution and keeps comparisons cleaner. - **What is the difference between a branch and a new chat?** A new chat usually starts from scratch. A branch starts from a meaningful point in an existing conversation and preserves the relevant context up to that moment. - **Can I keep multiple branches open at the same time?** Yes. GPTree is designed for parallel exploration. Users can keep multiple branches alive, move between them, and compare them without flattening everything into one thread. - **Can I compare different answers side by side?** Yes. Comparison is a core part of GPTree's product direction. The goal is to help users evaluate alternatives directly instead of relying on memory or manual copy-paste. - **What does merge mean in GPTree?** Merge means bringing the useful outcome of one path back into a main flow. That can mean selecting the better answer, synthesizing the strongest parts of multiple outputs, or consolidating exploration into one continuation point or artifact. - **Can I merge content from more than one branch?** Yes. A major part of GPTree's value is not just creating branches, but helping users combine the strongest parts of multiple explorations into one better result. - **Why does merging matter?** Without merging, branching only creates more threads. Merging is what turns exploration into a usable result. It helps users move from divergence to decision. - **Can I reorganize my conversation tree?** GPTree's documented product direction includes tree structure management such as reparenting and organized navigation, so the workspace can stay usable as exploration grows. - **What is "summarize this branch"?** It is an assistive feature designed to compress a branch into a usable summary. The purpose is to help users carry the important learning forward without rereading every message. - **Does GPTree automatically decide which answer is best?** No. GPTree is built to support judgment, not replace it. It can help compare, summarize, and synthesize, but the user still decides what to keep, merge, or continue from. - **Can I continue chatting from a merged result?** That is the intended value of GPTree's workflow. The point of branching and merging is not just archiving alternatives. It is creating a clearer next continuation point. - **Why is GPTree suggesting I merge my branches?** Once two or more branches off a conversation have answers, a short note at the top of your branch panes offers to bring them back together. ### Getting started - **How do I get started with GPTree?** Start with one real workflow that already becomes messy in normal chat. Branch at the first major decision point, explore two or three alternatives, compare them, and keep only the strongest result. - **What is the best first use case for a new user?** A good starting point is any task where you usually end up copy-pasting between multiple chats: comparing code approaches, testing headline variations, refining a strategy, or writing a spec from multiple drafts. - **What should I branch first?** Branch whenever you are about to explore a materially different direction. Good branch points include a new hypothesis, a second draft approach, a different provider, a new audience, or a competing recommendation. - **Why was my signup not accepted?** Automated protections on the signup form sometimes refuse a real person, most often on a shared office network or an unusual email domain. Contact support and we will create your account. - **What if I already have a workflow in ChatGPT or Claude?** That is exactly where GPTree can help. GPTree is designed to improve the structure around AI work rather than force users into a single locked ecosystem. - **How do I know whether GPTree is a fit for me?** If you mostly ask one-off questions and never revisit them, GPTree may be more than you need. If you regularly compare options, revisit prior work, or lose track of important outputs, GPTree is likely a strong fit. - **My confirmation email never arrived, what now?** Check your spam or promotions folder first, then use the Resend link button in the banner at the top of the app. If the banner says your address cannot receive email, the mail provider has told us the address does not exist, so correct it in Account instead of resending. ### Importing, exporting, and sharing - **Can I export my work?** Yes. Export is one of GPTree's core non-negotiable capabilities. Public-facing material should at minimum reference export to text and markdown, with any additional formats matching the live product. - **What export formats are available?** Text and markdown are part of the core documented export direction. If the live product supports additional formats such as JSON or other document outputs, the export page should be the source of truth. - **Can I import my existing ChatGPT conversations?** GPTree's documented architecture includes ChatGPT import capability. This is intended to help users bring prior AI work into a more structured workspace. - **Does importing change my ChatGPT account?** No. An import should be treated as a one-way copy into GPTree's environment. Your source account and original conversations should remain unchanged. - **Can I share work with other people?** GPTree's documented product materials include sharing direction such as read-only links and team-oriented workflows. Public-facing details should always match the live sharing and permissions model. - **What happens if I import the same export twice?** Nothing is duplicated. GPTree recognizes conversations it has already imported and only appends what is new. - **Where do my imported conversations end up?** In topic folders GPTree proposes, grouped inside one container project. You review and edit that plan before anything is created. - **Does importing my history cost credits?** No. Importing, organizing, and branch recovery do not spend your credits. Only continuing a conversation does. - **Can GPTree keep a folder on my computer in sync?** Yes. The desktop app for Mac keeps the folders you choose in your knowledge library. ### Limitations and expectations - **What is GPTree not designed to do?** GPTree is not meant to become a generic everything-app. Its strongest value is helping users branch, compare, synthesize, and preserve AI-assisted work with cleaner context. - **Will GPTree fix every limitation of every model?** No. GPTree improves workflow, structure, and reuse. It does not remove the underlying strengths and weaknesses of the models connected to it. - **Does GPTree guarantee factual accuracy from AI models?** No AI workflow layer should promise that. GPTree helps users compare, preserve, and review outputs more effectively, but model quality and factual correctness still need user judgment and, where appropriate, external verification. - **Can GPTree remove the need for human decision-making?** No. GPTree is designed to improve decision quality by making alternatives easier to explore and evaluate. It does not replace human responsibility. - **Are agents fire and forget?** No. Questions, approvals, and conflicting decisions come back to you. ### Models and providers - **Does GPTree work with more than one AI model?** Yes. GPTree is designed to be model and provider agnostic rather than locked to one model. - **Can I use GPTree with my own API keys?** Yes. Bring Your Own API, or BYO API, is part of GPTree's documented product and monetization direction. It allows users to connect their own provider accounts while using GPTree as the workflow layer. - **What is BYO API?** BYO API means you connect your own API keys from supported providers and use GPTree as the workflow and organization layer while model usage is billed through your provider. - **Why would I pay for GPTree if I use my own API key?** Because GPTree's value is the software layer: branching, structure, comparison, synthesis, organization, and export. BYO shifts model cost, but the workflow value remains. - **Can I switch models during a workflow?** That is one of the major advantages of a provider-agnostic system. Different branches can be used to test different models, approaches, or reasoning styles depending on what the task needs. - **Which providers can GPTree work with?** GPTree is designed to work across supported providers such as major commercial model platforms and other API-driven AI services. The exact live provider list should always match the current integrations page. - **Can GPTree work with open-source or self-hosted models?** GPTree is designed around broad provider flexibility. Availability for open-source or self-hosted models depends on the integrations supported in the current product setup. - **Does GPTree replace ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini?** GPTree is better thought of as a control layer on top of AI conversations, not a replacement for every native product experience. It helps users manage workflows across models instead of being locked inside one linear interface. ### Overview - **What is GPTree?** AI chats get messy. GPTree keeps them organized. - **What problem does GPTree solve?** GPTree solves the mess created by linear AI chat. In standard chat tools, once a conversation gets long, ideas get buried, context gets polluted, and good outputs are easy to lose. GPTree gives users a structured way to explore without losing the path that worked. - **What does "conversation version control" mean?** It means treating AI conversations more like evolving work than disposable chat. Instead of forcing every idea into one thread, GPTree lets you preserve versions, revisit earlier paths, compare alternatives, and continue from the best result. - **What does it mean to branch, compare, and merge a conversation?** It means treating AI conversations as evolving work rather than disposable chat. Instead of forcing every idea into one thread, you branch to explore a side path, compare the alternatives next to each other, and merge the best result back into the main line. - **Is GPTree an AI model?** No. GPTree is not its own foundation model. It is a workflow layer that helps users manage, structure, compare, and synthesize AI conversations across supported providers. - **Is GPTree just another chat UI?** No. The core value is not cosmetic. GPTree is built around branching, comparison, synthesis, reusable history, and cleaner context. The goal is better decision-making and better outputs, not just a different chat window. - **Who is GPTree for?** GPTree is designed for people who use AI seriously: developers, founders, writers, marketers, researchers, analysts, consultants, educators, operators, and teams that need to test options without losing context. - **Is GPTree only for technical users?** No. Developers often understand the version-control analogy fastest, but the product is also useful for non-technical professionals who need to compare drafts, test ideas, refine messaging, or organize long AI-assisted workflows. - **What is GPTree's core promise?** The core promise is simple: branch any message, preserve every path, and reuse what you learn. ### Pricing and plans - **Does GPTree have free and paid options?** Yes. GPTree is designed around a Free, Pro, and BYO API plan structure. - **What is GPTree Pro?** GPTree Pro is the paid individual tier intended for professionals and heavy users who want higher limits, stronger organization, and more advanced workflow features. - **Does GPTree include model usage in paid plans?** That depends on the live plan configuration. GPTree's public positioning supports both included-usage models and BYO models. The current pricing page should be the source of truth for what is included. - **What does the free plan include?** The free tier is intended to let users experience the core value of GPTree, especially branching and revisiting conversations, while limits are typically applied to usage volume or advanced features rather than removing the core experience entirely. - **What are credits?** GPTree's product and billing architecture includes usage tracking and credit-related flows tied to plan enforcement. Exact credit amounts, resets, top-ups, and included usage should always come from the live pricing and billing pages rather than a static FAQ claim. - **Will pricing always be the same?** No software pricing should be assumed permanent unless stated on the live pricing page. Public FAQ content should point users to the current pricing page for exact limits, billing terms, and included usage. - **Are there enterprise or team plans?** Yes, GPTree is compatible with team and enterprise use cases. Public enterprise packaging, admin features, and deployment options should be described on the live enterprise page if offered. - **Can enterprise customers use their own provider accounts?** That is one of the major strengths of the BYO model. It can support governance, cost control, and vendor flexibility where organizations prefer to use their own provider contracts. - **How do I compare outputs from different models?** Press Explore instead of Send: the Compare models preset comes pre-filled with up to three models from different providers, and the answers stream in side by side. When they finish, GPTree scores them against your prompt and marks a winner with a written rationale, and you can either use one answer directly or merge the best of all of them into a single response. The comparison stays organized in your tree, so the strongest result can be saved, reused, or merged back into the main conversation. - **Is GPTree carbon neutral?** No. We fund a tree every month for every paying customer, but we have not measured our emissions and we do not claim to have cancelled them. ### Privacy, security, and control - **Who controls the conversation data in GPTree?** GPTree's positioning is centered on user control, organization, and retained access to conversation history. Specific legal and technical commitments should always align with the live Privacy Policy and Security documentation. - **Does GPTree train AI models on my data?** This should be answered publicly only according to the live Privacy Policy and provider configuration. If GPTree supports multiple providers and BYO API, provider-level data handling may differ based on the user's setup. - **Why is BYO API important for privacy-conscious users?** BYO can give users and organizations more control over which model provider is used and under which provider account, which may matter for governance, procurement, or internal policy reasons. - **Is GPTree useful for regulated or high-accountability work?** It can be. GPTree's structured history, branching, and traceability are relevant anywhere teams need a clearer record of AI-assisted work. Formal compliance claims should be published only where they are contractually and technically supported. - **Does GPTree use tracking cookies?** Only if you accept them. Analytics and advertising tags are withheld until you choose, and you can change your mind at any time. - **What happens if I lose the laptop my assistant is connected from?** A connection made from a personal machine uses a credential that expires after an hour and renews itself quietly in the background, so a config file that ends up in a backup or a support thread stops being useful quickly. The longer-lived half of that pair can do nothing on its own. It cannot search, read a passage, ask a question, or add documents. It exists only to renew the short one. Revoking a connection in Account cancels both, including any short-lived credential it has already issued, so there is no window left open afterwards. - **How do I stop getting marketing emails from GPTree?** Clear the "Product updates and tips by email" checkbox in Account settings, click Unsubscribe in any product email, or use your mail app's own unsubscribe button. All three do the same thing. - **Will I still get billing emails if I unsubscribe?** Yes. Unsubscribing stops product updates and tips only. Receipts, payment notices, password resets, subscription changes and security warnings keep arriving because they are part of running your account. ### Product behavior and technical details - **What happens when I upload a newer version of a document?** GPTree asks whether the newer file replaces the older one. Nothing changes until you confirm, and you can undo it later. - **Does GPTree support streaming responses?** Yes. GPTree's documented architecture uses streaming responses over server-sent events so answers can appear progressively instead of only after full completion. - **What is message queueing?** GPTree's documented interaction model includes queueing behavior so multiple user prompts can be processed in sequence rather than colliding inside one conversation. The core rule is one in-flight assistant run per conversation at a time. - **Does GPTree track AI usage or costs?** Cost tracking is included in GPTree's documented product direction. Exact reporting details, visibility, and plan availability should match the live product. - **What happens if a model returns an error or refuses a request?** Provider errors, rate limits, safety refusals, and expired credentials can still happen. GPTree improves workflow management, but it does not remove provider-side limits. If that happens, the practical next steps are to retry later, shorten or clarify the input, switch models if available, or check whether a BYO key or provider account needs attention. - **Can my own AI assistant use my GPTree documents?** Yes. GPTree can act as a knowledge server that your assistant connects to directly, so it can search your documents, open a passage word for word, check that a passage still matches what you added, and ask a full question that comes back with citations. You grant abilities separately rather than all at once, so an assistant can be allowed to find passages without being allowed to read them back, or to read without being allowed to spend credits on generated answers. The part worth knowing: when your documents cannot support an answer, the connection returns a refusal rather than a confident pa - **Does GPTree delete a document I stop syncing?** No, and that is deliberate. A batch that is missing a document looks exactly like a filtered query, a partial run, or a job that crashed halfway, so GPTree will not conclude a document is gone from the fact that it did not arrive. Otherwise one bad night could empty your library. Removal is an explicit call your integration makes when it notices a document has gone from your source. Skipping it fails quietly: documents keep flowing in and answers keep coming back, while GPTree goes on quoting a policy your company withdrew months ago. If the document reappears and you send it again, it comes b ### Product experience - **Where do I use GPTree?** GPTree's primary product direction is a full web-based dashboard experience built for workspace-level navigation, branching, compare, merge, and export. - **What browsers and devices are supported?** GPTree is a web application, so the safest public guidance is to use a current version of a major desktop or mobile browser. If the live product has more specific browser guidance, that documentation should take precedence. - **Do I need to install a browser extension?** Not necessarily. GPTree is not positioned as an extension-only product. Some browser-based workflows or integrations may exist, but the main product direction is broader than a sidebar extension. - **What does the interface look like?** The product direction centers on a workspace with tree navigation, active conversation views, and tools for branching, comparing, merging, and exporting. The emphasis is on clarity and control rather than a single linear chat feed. - **Can GPTree organize work into projects or workspaces?** Yes. GPTree's product direction includes structured workspace-level organization so users can manage related conversations more intentionally than in a simple chat history list. - **What are projects?** Projects are a way to group related conversations, context, and ongoing work inside a single scope. They help separate efforts by topic, client, initiative, or workflow so branches and conversation history stay organized instead of mixing together. - **Can GPTree help me keep a reusable history of past work?** Yes. A major value of GPTree is that branches and conversation paths can be revisited and reused instead of being lost in chronological chat history. - **Can GPTree use memory or saved context?** GPTree's documented architecture includes memory retrieval, memory extraction, and summary systems that can help bring useful prior context back into a conversation. Availability and behavior should match the live product, plan, and settings rather than being assumed universally enabled. - **How do personas or system instructions work?** A persona is a saved set of instructions that shapes how the assistant answers: its role, its tone, and the rules it follows. GPTree ships with system personas such as Engineering Partner, Writing Partner, Study Partner, Thinking Partner, and Content and Social Writer, and they are available on every account from the day you sign up. You can also write your own on the Personas page, or ask the assistant in chat to build one for you. Pick a persona per message from the picker in the composer, or set one as your default so every new chat starts with it. Personas apply per branch, so you can run - **Can I see conversation history and restore previous versions?** GPTree is built around preserving prior paths instead of flattening everything into one chat timeline. That makes it easier to revisit earlier branches, compare prior states, and continue from a better point. Specific restore or revert controls should always match the live product interface. - **Does GPTree support long, complex workflows?** Yes. GPTree is specifically aimed at workflows where standard chat tools start to break down because there are too many paths, too much context, or too much iteration to manage cleanly. - **Can GPTree be used as a decision-making tool?** Yes. GPTree is especially useful when the goal is not just to generate text, but to explore options, evaluate them, and carry forward the strongest result. - **Can I turn off the system personas?** Yes. Open the Personas page and use the switch next to any system persona. Switching one off removes it from the persona picker in your conversations, so the list only holds the ones you actually use. Nothing is deleted, and you can switch it back on at any time from the same page. The change applies to your account only, never to your teammates. One exception: the base Default persona is always on, because it is what the assistant falls back to when a message carries no persona at all. If a system persona was set as your default for new chats, switching it off also clears that setting. ### Support and public info - **Where can I find current pricing, plan limits, and billing details?** See the pricing page at /pricing for current plans, limits, and prices. Once you are signed in, your own plan, credit balance, and billing history are on the Billing page in your account settings. - **Where can I find provider support details?** See the integrations page at /integrations for the current list of supported model providers and connected apps. The in-app model picker in any conversation shows the models available on your plan. - **Where can I learn about privacy, data handling, and security?** Read the Privacy Policy at /privacy and the Terms at /terms for how data is handled, and the security page at /security for how your data is protected. Enterprise and compliance questions are covered at /enterprise. - **Where can I get help or contact GPTree?** Start inside the app: ask your question in any conversation and GPTree's built-in help answers it with a deep link to the right screen. If you need a person, use Report Issue in the sidebar or the account menu to open the contact form. Every plan can also join the GPTree Discord community, linked in the sidebar and the account menu, and paid plans add email support on Pro and priority support on Team. - **How current is the information on GPTree's website?** GPTree keeps its public pages current as the product changes. Pricing is on /pricing, supported providers on /integrations, and privacy, terms, and security on /privacy, /terms, and /security. - **Is there a GPTree community I can join?** Yes. The GPTree Discord is free and open on every plan, and it is linked in the sidebar and the account menu once you sign in. - **Who founded GPTree?** GPTree was founded by Nick Woodhead and is built by Corgen LLC, the company behind the product. Nick works on GPTree hands-on, from the branching workflow itself to the support inbox, so feedback sent through the app tends to reach the person who can act on it. You can find him on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/naw103) and on [X](https://x.com/naw103), and he's active in the GPTree Discord community linked in the app's sidebar. - **Does GPTree plant trees?** Yes. Every month, for every person paying for GPTree, we fund one real tree through Greenspark, plus an extra tree for every person you refer who subscribes. ### Teams, enterprise, and adoption - **Can GPTree be used by teams?** Yes. GPTree is useful anywhere teams need to preserve reasoning, compare alternatives, standardize outputs, or create a stronger audit trail around AI-assisted work. - **What kinds of teams benefit most?** Product teams, engineering teams, consulting teams, support teams, content teams, research groups, and operations teams are strong fits because they regularly explore multiple options before deciding. - **Why would a business adopt GPTree?** Businesses adopt tools like GPTree to reduce confusion, improve knowledge reuse, increase consistency, and make AI workflows easier to review and manage. - **Is GPTree suitable for individuals as well as organizations?** Yes. GPTree is useful for both solo professionals and larger teams. Individuals get cleaner workflows and better reuse of past work. Teams get more structure and clearer collaboration around AI outputs. ### Use cases - **What can I use GPTree for?** Common use cases include comparing draft directions, testing code approaches, debugging, exploring product strategy, writing specifications, refining prompts, researching hypotheses, consolidating learning, and creating final outputs from multiple exploration paths. - **How does GPTree help writers and marketers?** Writers and marketers can branch headline ideas, tone variations, campaign angles, FAQs, social copy, emails, and long-form drafts. Instead of losing earlier versions, they can preserve them, compare them, and merge the strongest language back into the final draft. - **How does GPTree help developers?** Developers can use GPTree to test alternative implementations, isolate debugging attempts, compare architectures, evaluate API designs, rewrite code in other languages, or improve different parts of a solution in parallel. - **How does GPTree help researchers and analysts?** Researchers and analysts can branch hypotheses, literature summaries, data interpretations, scenario analysis, and report sections. GPTree makes it easier to keep exploratory work organized and roll the best findings back into one coherent output. - **How does GPTree help with learning and education?** Students and educators can branch into deep dives, example problems, alternative explanations, and FAQ-style study materials without losing the main lesson flow. - **Can GPTree be used for prompt engineering?** Yes. Prompt tuning is one of the strongest use cases. Users can test multiple prompt variations in parallel and keep the best one without manually copying context across separate chats. - **Can GPTree help create final documents?** Yes. GPTree is useful for turning multiple branches, iterations, or sub-conversations into one final artifact such as a brief, business plan, outline, report, or specification. - **Can teams use GPTree for training or support workflows?** Yes. GPTree is a strong fit for support scripting, role-play scenarios, knowledge-base drafting, and policy or FAQ creation where multiple branches need to be explored and then consolidated. - **Can GPTree find leads for me?** Partly, and it is clear about which part. Ask something like "research donors for a literacy nonprofit" or "find me 25 prospects in dental software" and GPTree searches the live web for real buying signals: funding rounds, hiring posts, press, conference appearances. Naming a site reads that site. What it will not do is invent contact details. If an email or phone number cannot be retrieved from a real source, GPTree says so rather than filling the cell with something plausible. It also does not scrape LinkedIn, because that breaks LinkedIn's terms.
