hah i spent like 2 hours yesterday figuring this out and documenting it for our users - and then abandoned it because it was way too confusing and inconsistent with the desktop experience (for chatgpt atleast) https://t.co/srTujdLWTT

1 in 4 active users on FactIQ are using it through Claude - even though we haven't launched a plugin for it. A few weeks ago, we launched FactIQ as a plugin for Claude Code and Codex. People are connecting to it through other clients anyway, including their own custom ones. https://t.co/TowjZG2TVV
