Questions are read-onlyPrivate records stay off

Ask your AI about your boat

Connect ChatGPT or Claude to VesselTwin today. Ask questions from your boat record without giving your AI assistant permission to change saved records. Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity are coming soon.

Set up VesselTwin in ChatGPT

New to VesselTwin? Create your free account first. Then open the published VesselTwin plugin in ChatGPT and connect with the same account. You never need to paste a server address or create an API key.

  1. 1Click Open VesselTwin in ChatGPT to open the VesselTwin plugin.
  2. 2Click Connect, then sign in to your VesselTwin account when ChatGPT asks.
  3. 3Review the secure VesselTwin authorization screen and approve it. You do not need Developer mode, a server address, or an API key.
  4. 4Start a new chat and add VesselTwin from the tools menu.

Start with your boat and its manuals

Every plan can connect ChatGPT or Claude. Your assistant can read your boat list, record status, what is due, counts by area, recent work, and passages from your own manuals — read-only, with no hull or registration numbers and no location.

Allow deeper questions

Private records stay off until you turn them on: document text (invoices, surveys, receipts and other non-manual documents), notes, costs, expense payment methods, serial numbers, hull identification numbers (HIN) and registration numbers, exact locations, vendor and supplier names, and work packets (title, summary, timeline, constraints and location). Suggestions into your Inbox are off until you turn them on too. Both are Owner Pro. One setting applies to every supported AI assistant you connect, and you can turn it off at any time.

Choose the AI assistant you already use

VesselTwin shows the current setup steps immediately. Published plugins do not need a server address; custom connectors show theirs after you sign in. Setup never depends on an email from us.
