# Configure chat apps

> Prepare Claude Desktop and ChatGPT to use Recallium

Recallium chat plugins bring project memory into technical conversations outside your coding environment. The plugin supplies Recallium guidance; the connected Recallium service supplies your project context.

## Plugin availability

<Note>
  Plugin downloads are coming soon. The Claude Desktop and ChatGPT packages will be published on this page with their installation instructions.
</Note>

Both plugins activate for technical conversations or when you explicitly ask for Recallium. They stay quiet for unrelated one-off questions.

## Prepare Claude Desktop

Connect Claude Desktop to Recallium before installing the chat plugin:

```bash theme={null}
recallium install
```

The Recallium installer manages the service connection. The forthcoming Claude plugin will provide the chat guidance.

## Prepare ChatGPT

The forthcoming ChatGPT package will install through a plugin marketplace. ChatGPT will also require a Recallium Cloud connection and sign-in so it can access your projects.

<Note>
  The ChatGPT plugin provides the conversation guidance and marketplace metadata. Your Recallium Cloud connection provides access to project memory.
</Note>

## What to try first

After configuration, try these prompts:

* “What projects can I access?”
* “What did we decide about authentication in `payment-service`?”
* “Save this architecture discussion to the current project.”
* “Where did the team leave off?”

## Troubleshoot a plugin

If Recallium does not appear in the chat app:

1. Restart the app after installing the plugin.
2. Confirm the plugin is enabled.
3. Confirm the Recallium connection is signed in.
4. Start a new technical conversation and mention Recallium explicitly.
