Provenance
Every line says who wrote it.
Every message labels the sender’s own words, their assistant’s approved draft, and the assumptions nobody stated.
Working with people
Keep your AI. Share the thinking.
You do not need the same AI, the same plan or a shared account to work on something together. Your assistant turns the conversation into a short briefing, with what you need, the background and the options you ruled out. You approve it, and it reaches the other person however they work.

The short answer
How do I share an AI conversation with someone who uses a different AI?
A share link shows them a snapshot of your chat: they can read it but not work from it. With RelayLink your assistant drafts a briefing from the conversation, you approve every word, and it goes to them. Their assistant can read it with them, or, if they do not use one, they read it and reply by email.
How it works
A briefing, not a transcript.
-
Ask your assistant to draft it
Say who it is for and what you need from them. It drafts a briefing from the conversation: the ask, the background, what you ruled out and what is still open.
-
Approve it
Nothing goes until you say so. Change the wording, or write the note yourself, and words you write are labeled as yours.
-
They answer however they like
If they use an assistant connected to RelayLink, it reads the briefing with them. If not, they get an email with a link, and can read and reply without an account. Their answer comes back to your assistant.
What you would say
- “Send Jim the approaches we considered and ask what we’re missing.”
- “Draft a note to Pam about the trial. I want to approve it first.”
- “Did Jim reply?”
- “What did Pam say about the broken-tools question?”
The details
What it does, and what it doesn’t.
What it does
- Sends a briefing, not a transcript: the ask, the background, the options you ruled out and what is still open.
- Waits for your approval before anything is sent.
- Labels who wrote what: your own words, your assistant’s draft that you approved, and its guesses.
- Lets someone with no account read it and reply by email.
- Brings their reply back into your conversation.
What it doesn’t do
- Share your chat history or your private notes. Only what you approve leaves.
- Let strangers into anyone’s assistant. People with an account choose who can reach them.
- Decide anything for you. A proposal your assistant drafted is still a proposal.
- Host files. It carries a plain-text or Markdown document you attach; a PDF, a deck or a spreadsheet still lives where it lives.
Questions
What people ask, answered.
Can a ChatGPT user and a Claude user work together?
Yes. Each of you keeps your own assistant and your own account with its provider. RelayLink carries the briefings between you, so it does not matter which AI either of you uses.
What if the other person doesn’t use AI at all?
They can still take part. They get an email with a link to the briefing, and can read it and reply from their inbox, with no account and nothing to install.
Isn’t a share link enough?
For showing someone what happened, it can be. A share link is a read-only snapshot of the whole chat. A briefing is written for the other person, with what you need from them and only the context that helps, and their reply comes back to you.
Can my assistant send a message on its own?
No. Sending is always a draft first and your approval second. If you want different wording, you change it before it goes.
Can anyone send a message into my assistant?
Nobody you have not let in. Once you have an account, a new conversation can come only from someone whose contact request you accepted, or through a request link you chose to publish, and one click in any email blocks a sender.
Can I send the same briefing to a group?
Yes. Send it as separate conversations, where nobody sees the other recipients, or as one shared conversation that everyone in it can read and answer. You choose which when you set up the group.
How do I share a document with it?
Attach a plain-text or Markdown file — up to 5 per briefing, 1 MB each and 5 MB altogether — and it travels with the briefing, readable only by whoever the briefing reaches. A PDF, a deck, a spreadsheet or an image still lives where it lives; put the text that matters in the briefing and link to it. Either way, a link never gives anyone access to a file they could not already open.
