Notes
- Before trying to export, refresh the chat page, to include all the current data.
- Disable trim extensions / addons that are used to trim messages, usually to fix performance issues, they may modify the actual json responses, which could affect the export.
- In case there is documents or canvas that are not included in an export, even with the option on, try opening the right tab where it loads them, it could be that their API endpoint were not triggered.
Implemention
- Uses JSON responses rather than the DOM to retrieve content, to prevent content from not being included, when from different AI models or functionality, like canvas / documents are used.
- Export to Markdown or HTML.
- Clipboard and Selectable Content options.
- Float button can be repositioned using drag-and-drop. Also shown / hidden.
- A project (only) or a single chat that contain canvas or documents (if a project, from each chat within) are exported to a single zip file.
- It may use an additional tab when exporting entire projects. You will see status indicator on the popup or float button.
Why I built the extension
- I found many issues after trying out the better or most maintained options available, at least in Firefox, I didnt find any that would extract all the content, like canvas, documents, or some outputs from bigger models.
- I noticed that most of the problems were due to the other extensions using CSS Selectors / DOM to extract information.
- They didnt include relevant information in extracted file. Some showed as popup on each extraction instead.
- I needed this kind of tool for information extraction.
Privacy Guarantees
- This extension does NOT store, upload, or share any data remotely.
- It does NOT store any personal or private or identifiable data.
- All exported content is generated and saved locally on the user's machine, or copied to the user's clipboard.
- The extension only stores local configuration needed for usability.
Notes
- Since these are data results from intercepted json responses from APIs, no one know if or when the AI chats would update their backend API endpoints. If they do, feel free to submit a bug report or PR with correction in the github repo of this project.
