Share Conversations

Share your Khoj conversations with colleagues, friends, or the community by creating public links. Perfect for collaboration, showing your work, or getting help.

Create a public, read-only snapshot of any chat conversation:

Snapshot in Time

Shared link shows conversation exactly as it was when shared

View-Only

Others can read but not modify or continue the conversation

Public Link

Anyone with the link can access - no Khoj account required

Static Content

Future messages you send won’t appear in the shared version

Open Conversation Menu

In the chat interface, click the three-dot menu (⋯) in the conversation header or sidebar

Select 'Share'

Click the “Share” option from the menu

Copy Link

A shareable URL is generated instantly. Click to copy:

https://app.khoj.dev/share/chat/[unique-id]

Share the Link

Send the URL via:

Email
Slack or other messaging apps
Social media
Documentation or blog posts
Anywhere you can share links!

You can share a conversation at any point - early for collaboration, or after completion to showcase results.
