## What Gets Deleted
When you delete your account, the following data will be permanently removed:

# AI Features
# AI Features
Tabhive includes AI-powered features to help you organize your tabs more efficiently, including smart tab save and group name suggestions.
## AI Search Limits by Plan
* **Free plan** - 5 AI searches per day
* **Pro plan** - Unlimited AI searches (built-in, no API key required)
* **Lifetime plan** - Unlimited AI searches with BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)
## Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)
The Lifetime plan uses a BYOK model for AI features, which means:
* **You use your own API keys** - Currently supports OpenAI API keys
* **Full control** - You manage your AI usage and costs directly with your own OpenAI account
* **Secure storage** - Your API key is encrypted at rest in our database and only used for AI features
* **Note** - Pro plans have unlimited AI searches built-in and do not require BYOK
### Setting Up Your API Key (Lifetime Plan Only)
**Note:** This section is only applicable for Lifetime plan users. Pro plan users have AI features built-in and do not need to configure an API key.
1. Open Tabhive settings
2. Navigate to the **AI** tab
3. Enter your OpenAI API key
* You can get your API key from the [OpenAI Platform](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)
4. Click **Save Key**
Your API key will be masked for security (only the last 4 characters are visible). You can update or delete your API key at any time from the settings.
For Lifetime plan users: Once you add your API key, AI group name suggestions will be enabled. You can remove the key at any time to disable this feature.
## Group Name Suggestions
When creating a group from open tabs, AI can automatically suggest a descriptive name based on the tabs you're grouping.
### How It Works
The AI analyzes:
* **URLs and domains** - Identifies common themes from website domains
* **Tab titles** - Considers the content of each tab
* **Context** - Determines the most appropriate category
### Using Group Name Suggestions
1. In the window tabs section, click the `+` icon
2. Click the AI suggestion button
3. The AI will analyze your selected tabs and suggest a group name
4. You can accept the suggestion or modify it
### Example Suggestions
* Tabs from news websites → "News"
* Shopping sites → "Shopping"
* Social media platforms → "Social Media"
* Development tools → "Development"
The AI suggests concise, one-word categories that best describe your tab collection. If no common theme is found, it will suggest a default name like "Session \[Date]".
## Smart Tab Save
Save tabs instantly with AI-powered organization. The smart tab save feature automatically selects the best space and group for your current tab, eliminating the need to manually browse and choose where to save it.
### How It Works
When you save a tab using the command menu, AI analyzes:
* **Tab title** - Understands the content and purpose of the page
* **URL and domain** - Identifies the website and context
* **Existing groups** - Matches the tab to the most relevant group based on themes, topics, and content
* **Space context** - Considers the organizational structure of your spaces
The AI intelligently finds the best match among your existing groups, or creates a new group if no suitable match exists.
### Using Smart Tab Save
1. Open the command menu from any tab:
* **Mac**: `Cmd + Shift + K`
* **Windows/Linux**: `Ctrl + Shift + K`
2. Switch to **AI mode**
3. Click **Save Tab**
4. The AI will automatically:
* Analyze your current tab
* Select the most appropriate space
* Match it to the best existing group (or create a new one)
* Save the tab instantly
### Benefits
* **Zero decision fatigue** - No need to manually browse spaces and groups
* **Intelligent matching** - AI understands context and matches tabs to related content
* **Consistent organization** - Similar tabs are automatically grouped together
* **Time saving** - Save tabs in seconds without manual navigation
For Lifetime plan users: Smart tab save requires an OpenAI API key to be configured in your settings. Pro plan users have this feature built-in.

* **Set specific times**: Choose a date and time when you'll actually be available to review the tab
* **Use notes**: Add context about why you're setting the reminder
* **Review regularly**: Check your reminder notifications and either view or dismiss them
* **Update as needed**: If plans change, update your reminder instead of letting it expire
## Troubleshooting
### Reminders Not Showing
* Make sure you're on a paid plan (reminders are a premium feature)
* Check that the reminder date and time have passed
* Reminders only show for 24 hours after they're due
* Refresh the page if a reminder should be visible
### Can't Set Reminder
* Verify you're on a paid Pro plan
* Make sure you're logged into Tabhive
* Try refreshing the extension or restarting your browser
## Premium Feature
Reminders are available on all paid plans. If you're on the free plan, you'll be prompted to upgrade when trying to set a reminder.

# Short Links
# Short Links
Short links let you create personal shortcuts for any URL and navigate to them instantly from the browser address bar — no bookmarks, no typing long URLs.
## How It Works
Type `th` in the address bar, press **Space**, then type your short link name and press **Enter** to jump straight to the destination.
```
th meetingnotes → https://docs.google.com/...
th jira → https://your-team.atlassian.net/...
th figma → https://www.figma.com/...
```
If the name you type doesn't match any short link, the query is sent to Google Search instead.
## Creating a Short Link
1. Open Tabhive
2. Click the **Short Links** icon (link icon) in the header
3. Click **New short link**
4. Enter a **short name** — lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores only
5. Enter the **destination URL**
6. Click **Save**
The short link is immediately available in the address bar.
## Managing Short Links
### View All Short Links
Click the **Short Links** icon in the Tabhive header to see all your saved short links listed with their names and destination URLs.
### Delete a Short Link
In the Short Links modal, click the **trash icon** next to any short link to remove it.
## Tips
* Keep names short and memorable — you'll be typing them in the address bar
* Use names that reflect the site's purpose, not just the domain (e.g. `standup` instead of `zoom`)
* Short link names are lowercased automatically
## Notes
* Short links are **personal** — they are tied to your account and not shared with workspace members
* The `th` keyword must be registered in your browser. If it isn't working, go to `chrome://settings/searchEngines` and confirm **Tabhive** appears under **Site search**

# Teams
# Teams
The Team plan lets you purchase seats for your organisation and invite members by email. Every accepted member gets full Pro access — no separate subscriptions needed.
## How it works
1. Purchase a Team plan (monthly or annual) from the extension's upgrade modal
2. Choose the number of seats (minimum 2 — one for you, one for each person you invite)
3. Open the **Team** option from your profile dropdown
4. Invite members by email
5. Each invitee receives an email with an accept link
6. Once accepted, they instantly get Pro access
## Purchasing a Team plan
You can purchase a Team plan from the pricing modal inside the extension. Select the number of seats you need — you can start with 2 and purchase more seats later from the subscription management portal.
The owner of the Team plan also occupies a seat. A 2-seat plan means 1 owner + 1 invited member.
## Managing your team
Open the **Team** management panel from your profile dropdown (top-right of the extension).
### Invite a member
1. Open **Team** from the profile dropdown
2. Enter the member's email address
3. Click **Invite**
4. They will receive an invite email with a link to accept
Invites expire after **7 days**. You can resend an invite at any time from the pending invites list.
### Resend an invite
If a pending invite has expired or the member hasn't received it, click the **Resend invite** button next to their email in the pending invites list.
### Remove a member
Click the remove button (user minus icon) next to any member in the members list. The member will immediately lose their Pro access and receive an email notification.
### Rename your organisation
Click the pencil icon next to your organisation name at the top of the Team panel to rename it inline.
## Accepting an invite
When you receive a team invite email:
1. Click **Accept invite** in the email
2. Sign in or create a Tabhive account if you don't have one
3. Click **Accept invite** on the page
4. Pro access is granted immediately — open the extension to get started
## Seat usage
The Team panel shows how many seats are currently in use (e.g. **2 / 5 seats used**). Each active member occupies one seat.
## Cancelling the Team plan
If you cancel your Team plan:
* All members immediately lose their Pro access granted through the team
* Your organisation data and member list remain intact
* Each member's personal data (workspaces, groups, tabs) is unaffected
Cancelling removes Pro access for every member instantly. Make sure to communicate this to your team before cancelling.
## FAQ
**Can a member have their own separate Pro subscription?**
Yes. A member's personal Pro or Lifetime subscription is independent of the team plan.
**What happens to a removed member's data?**
Their personal workspaces and tabs are unaffected. They simply lose the Pro access that was granted by the team.
**Can I upgrade or reduce the number of seats?**
Yes — open the **Team** panel from your profile dropdown. Use the **+** and **−** buttons next to "Total seats" to adjust your seat count. Changes are applied and billed immediately on a prorated basis.
