**Per-record chat** puts the discussion about a task, a deal, or a ticket on the record itself. Context stops living in a messaging group where it cannot be found again.

## Why group chats lose information

Messaging tools are organized by people and time. Work is organized by subject.

- Decisions made in a thread nobody can locate later
- Context lost when the person who was in the conversation leaves
- New team members with no way to catch up on a case
- The same question asked repeatedly about the same record

## What per-record discussion changes

- **Each record has its own thread**, so topics never mix
- **Mentions** notify the specific colleague who needs to weigh in
- **History stays with the record**, surviving staff changes
- **Attachments and observations** sit alongside the discussion
- **Internal chat** replaces the group created just to coordinate

## How to use it in Jestor

1. Open the record in **Jestor** — a task, a subtask, a deal, or a ticket.
2. Use the chat panel on the record to discuss it with the team.
3. Mention a colleague to bring them into that specific conversation.
4. Attach images, files, or spreadsheets to the record alongside the discussion.
5. Switch the panel to connected records when you need to see linked items instead.

## Why choose Jestor for contextual collaboration?

In **Jestor**, each task and each subtask carries its own chat, so a conversation about one part of the work is never mixed with another. The discussion, the data, and the attachments are the same record.

The internal chat also covers team channels and direct messages, which means the group created purely to coordinate a process can be replaced by something traceable.
