Sharing a chat — what's actually public.
UPDATED 2026-08-01The Share button in a chat's header creates a read-only public URL that shows the current state of the conversation. Anyone with the URL can view it. It's not indexed (we add `X-Robots-Tag: noindex`) but should still be treated as publicly accessible — assume anyone you send the URL to could forward it.
What appears at the shared URL: - The chat messages themselves (your prompts and the assistant responses), exactly as they render in your account. - The chat title. - Attached filenames (not the file contents unless they were inlined in a message).
What does NOT appear: - Your name, email, or account identifier. - The project the chat belongs to (if any). - Any other chats. - Your subscription status or meal ledger.
If the chat contains files that were attached as inline images, those images render in the shared view. PDF attachments show only the filename — the recipient can't download the file itself.
Once a chat is shared, edits to the chat in your account do not update the shared URL automatically. The shared URL is a snapshot at the time of sharing. Re-share to update.
To unshare: open the chat, three-dot menu, "Unshare". The URL becomes 404 within a minute. Note that if the recipient took a screenshot or copied the contents, unsharing doesn't recall those — assume anything you shared could exist in their local copy.
Sharing a chat does not affect any privacy or training-data considerations elsewhere. It's a one-time snapshot, not a persistent link into your account.
