# About Threadpacket

Threadpacket sends a packet from one person's AI assistant to another person's assistant: a brief of the work so far, with the original files.

## Why it exists

People now do real work in AI assistants: sorting out a tax question, comparing insurance offers, drafting a reply to a client. Then someone else has to finish it, and they use a different assistant. Without Threadpacket that means pasting a summary into a messenger, sending the PDFs separately, and explaining it all again. Threadpacket lets one assistant send a packet to the other with the brief and the original files, so the next person picks up the thread right where you stopped.

## How it is built

Threadpacket is a small open-source server (MIT license): one Cloudflare Worker, a database and a file store, behind six MCP tools. It has no AI inside and calls no model, so it needs no API keys and has no token bill. People sign in with a username and access code through standard OAuth, which Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Claude Code and Hermes all support.

There are two ways to use it:

- **The hosted service** at https://threadpacket.com: free, for families and anyone who wants to start in a minute.
- **A private server** on your own Cloudflare account: for small teams that want their packets on their own infrastructure. Same software, free plan, no card.

## Who makes it

Threadpacket is made by Eugene Olshenbaum, a software engineer, and started as a way for his family's assistants to pass work to each other. The source code, issues and changes are public on GitHub: https://github.com/evgolsh/threadpacket.
