Sharing a Conversation

Share any conversation as a public, read-only link. Anyone you send it to can read the exchange — and if they want to, carry it on in their own account.

The Shared links page listing active share links, each with its URL, time left, and copy, open, and revoke buttons.
Shared links — every active link, with its time left and controls.

Create a link

Sharing is controlled per conversation, from the share button in that chat. Turn it on and Zinley creates a public address at zinley.com/share/… — copy it and send it wherever you like.

  • One link per conversation, created on demand.
  • Links expire 3 hours after they're created. After that the page stops working and you can make a fresh one.
  • No account is needed to open a shared link.

Share a conversation — copy the public link, rotate it, or revoke it.

What the other person sees

They get a read-only page showing the conversation: your messages and Zinley's replies, as they were when you shared. They can't send messages into it, can't see your other conversations, and can't reach your agent through it.

Anything outside that one conversation — your people, topics, emails, calls, memory — stays private.

Rotate the link

Rotate replaces the current address with a brand-new one. The old link stops working immediately; the new one shows the same conversation.

Use it when a link has spread further than you intended but you still want the people who matter to have access — rotate, then send the new address to just them.

Revoke

Revoke switches sharing off entirely. The link dies on the spot and the public page goes away. You can share the conversation again later for a fresh link.

See all your shares in one place

Every live link is listed under Settings → Shared links, with a count at the top — e.g. "3 active links — anyone with a link can view that snapshot." Each row shows:

  • Title — the conversation the link points to.
  • Link — its public address.
  • Time left — a countdown until it expires (e.g. "2h 59m left").
  • Actions — Copy (⧉), Open (↗) in a new tab, and Revoke (the red icon).

Worth a glance now and then, just to confirm nothing is public that you'd rather wasn't.

Forking a shared conversation

Someone who opens your link can fork it — copying the conversation into their own Zinley account and continuing from where you left off, with their own agent.

  • Their fork is theirs. Anything they add afterwards is invisible to you, and your original is untouched.
  • Revoking your link doesn't remove copies people already forked.
  • This makes shared links a good way to hand over a starting point: a research brief, a half-built plan, a working prompt someone else can run with.

AI recap

Sometimes the conversation is long and the useful part is the conclusion. Ask Zinley to write a shareable recap and it produces a clean summary of the chat — what you were working on, what was decided, what came out of it — that you can share instead of the whole transcript.

If the recap misses the point, give it feedback and it rewrites: "Lead with the pricing decision," or "Drop the technical detail, this is going to a client." Keep nudging until it reads the way you want.

Before you share

  • Read it back. A conversation can wander into personal detail you'd forgotten was in there — attachments and quoted emails included.
  • Prefer a recap for outsiders. A summary usually communicates better than a long transcript, and shares less.
  • Rotate rather than revoke when you still want a few people to have access.
  • Remember it expires. If someone says the link is dead after a few hours, that's the 3-hour expiry — make them a new one.
