The fastest way to use ThinkEx is thinkex.app. This guide describes the product flow, not local development.
Create a Workspace
1
Sign in
Open thinkex.app and sign in. Local development builds also show Continue as guest, so contributors can test the app without Google OAuth.
2
Create a workspace
From the home page, create a workspace. A workspace is the container for your items, tabs, chat threads, members, and history.
3
Add source material
Drag supported files into the workspace or create documents and folders from the workspace controls. ThinkEx currently accepts PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, images, CSV, TSV, Markdown, code, and text files.
4
Open and arrange items
Open items in tabs, keep sources side by side, and organize related items into folders.
5
Ask AI with selected context
Select the item or passage you want the AI to use, then ask from the chat panel or contextual ask controls. The point is explicit context, not hidden retrieval.
