Frequently asked questions

ChatData Sync is a personal data tool that lets you describe what you want to track — in plain English — and instantly creates a private, organized space for that information. Your AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible tool) can then read and update that space on your behalf, so you can manage your records just by having a conversation.

No. You describe what you want to track in plain English, and ChatData Sync builds the structure for you. Connecting your AI assistant is a copy-and-paste step that takes about thirty seconds. If you are a developer and prefer to interact with the underlying connection directly, that option is available — but it is never required.

Anything you can describe in a sentence. Popular examples include client appointments, tutoring sessions, pet-care visits, home repair jobs, freelance project milestones, fitness goals, reading lists, recipe collections, plant care logs, and vehicle maintenance records. If you can say it, ChatData Sync can track it.

Yes. The Free plan gives you one tracking space and 200 assistant actions per month with no credit card required. It is a fully working version of the product — a good way to see ChatData Sync in action before choosing a paid plan.

When you create a tracking space, ChatData Sync generates a GPT Action — a secure connection that tells ChatGPT where your tracker lives and how to reach it. You paste the connection details into your custom GPT or ChatGPT configuration once, and from that point on your assistant can log and retrieve your information right inside any conversation.

A ChatGPT Action is a secure connection that tells your ChatGPT assistant how to reach an outside service — in this case, your private tracker on ChatData Sync. You set it up once by copying and pasting a connection string into your ChatGPT configuration. ChatData Sync generates this connection for you automatically, so there is nothing to build.

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is an open standard that allows AI assistants — including Claude and other compatible tools — to connect to structured data sources in a consistent, secure way. ChatData Sync provides an MCP endpoint for every tracking space, so compatible AI tools can read and update your information without any custom code on your end.

For direct MCP setup, use your tracker token in a custom header named x-api-key. This is the normal copy-and-paste setup for clients where you enter the MCP URL and headers yourself.

Use bearer tokens only when the host completes ChatData Sync OAuth for you, or when you are calling signed-in account APIs instead of the tracker-scoped MCP connection.

If the screen asks for a header name, enter x-api-key. If the screen asks you to sign in with ChatData Sync, use that OAuth flow and let the host send bearer automatically.

Airtable requires you to design your own tables, columns, and field types before you can track anything. ChatData Sync generates the entire structure from your plain-English description, so you go from idea to working tracker in minutes, not hours. It is also built specifically so your AI assistant can read and write your data — Airtable is not.

Notion is built for writing, notes, and wikis. It is not designed to be a live, structured data layer that your AI assistant can update on command. ChatData Sync is purpose-built for exactly that job: organized, queryable tracking with strict access controls per space, where your assistant can log an entry or pull a summary in real time.

ChatData Sync offers four plans:

• Free — $0/month. 1 tracking space, 200 assistant actions/month. No credit card required.
• Side Hustle — $19/month ($16/month billed annually). 3 tracking spaces, 1,500 assistant actions/month.
• Growing Business — $49/month ($41/month billed annually). 10 tracking spaces, 6,000 assistant actions/month.
• Team — $99/month ($83/month billed annually). 25 tracking spaces, 20,000 assistant actions/month.

All plans include CSV export. See the full pricing page for details.

If you reach your monthly assistant action limit, your AI assistant will no longer be able to read or update your tracker until the limit resets at the start of your next billing cycle. Your data is always safe and accessible through your dashboard. You can upgrade your plan at any time to restore access immediately.

Yes. CSV export is included on every plan, including the free tier. Your data belongs to you, and you can download it at any time from your dashboard.

Yes. Every tracking space has its own scoped access token, meaning only someone holding that specific token can reach it. Your data is never shared between users, never used to train AI models, and never visible to other ChatData Sync accounts. You control exactly which assistant or person can access each space, and you can revoke access at any time.
