Export AI chats from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok & more. Switch platforms instantly — memory, notes & context carried forward.
ContextSwitchAI — Export Any AI Chat & Continue It Anywhere
Tired of losing your conversation context when switching between AI platforms? ContextSwitchAI lets you export your full chat history from one AI and seamlessly resume it on another — with all your code, context, and notes intact.
Supported Platforms
Works with any AI chat platform — with all your code, context, and notes intact.
✦ What's New in v2.0
▸ Smart Context Search — Search across every export you've ever saved. A full semantic engine with BM25, TF-IDF, fuzzy matching, and synonym expansion finds the right conversation by meaning, not just filename.
▸ Folder Indexer — Point the extension at your exports folder once. It indexes everything automatically and keeps it up to date so search always covers your full archive.
▸ In-Page Panel — A floating side panel now lives directly inside your AI tab, so you can load exports, search, and continue without ever opening a separate popup.
▸ Light & Dark Mode — Switch between themes to match your preference.
Core Features
▸ One-Click Export — Click the extension icon on any supported AI page and hit Export. Your entire conversation is instantly saved to your Downloads folder. No copy-pasting, no manual summarising.
▸ Smart Token Compression — A multi-phase compression engine strips filler phrases, removes duplicate content, and collapses repetitive sentences before saving — reducing token usage by up to 55% so the receiving AI gets maximum context within its window. Your code and attachments are never touched.
▸ Code Block Preservation — Every code snippet is extracted and stored separately, completely isolated from compression. Not a single character is modified.
▸ ZIP Export with Embedded Images — Export as a ZIP bundle that includes inline images directly, so visual context travels with your conversation.
▸ Notes System — Highlight any important text and pin it as a note. Notes are injected at the top of the resumed conversation so the new AI sees them as priority context immediately.
▸ Opening Message — Write a custom prompt before switching platforms. The new AI receives it alongside your conversation history to set the right direction from the first message.
▸ Load & Resume Later — Exported a conversation yesterday? Load the JSON file from your Downloads and all platform buttons activate instantly.
▸ Token Stats — See exactly how many tokens your conversation uses before and after compression.
▸ Custom Filename — Rename your export before saving to keep your Downloads organised.

- too many clicks just to print to pdf. The pdf that is downloaded is not clean or well formatted. Also, it doesn't download any images from my chat, which is the main part of my workflow :/

- Came across this on a google search and seeing reddit post. 10/10. I use premiums subscriptions for all three (Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT) and this extension streamlines utilizing each for their specific strengths. A massive improvement would be incorporating files associated with a chat to fully document context of a chat and TOON export option

- So far so good. TY for making this possible. Can I buy you a cup of coffee or a beer? BTW, would be nice if there was a way to bulk export all of the chats as Google Takeout doesn't work very well for Gemini Chat History. Additionally, the title of the chat as the file name would be good to have as it exports chat. Plus, the ability to download all the artifacts and text into a single folder with the chat title as the folder name, ie: "2026-03-25 Gemini - How to Export Chats". Otherwise you guys are doing a great job. TY!

- Now: If I INJECT it then it works, but not if I download the file. Earlier today: I need help. I will update the stars when it works. It is not working as intended. I open my Copilot chat in a Chrome Browser and then export to a JSON file. It does not capture the whole conversation, only what's on the screen. So I go through the long, tedious task of trying to get to the top of the chat (all the tricks don't work, I have to go single page, wait, single page, wait). I still don't get to the top but I find an acceptable starting position, export as JSON. It says it exported 209 messages, but the file size is only 83 kb. When I upload back into Copilot it can't read the contents, they're "blocked" and read as empty. I spent an entire day last week trying to get this work and out of 8 uploads only got 1 to work. But it was still not from the beginning of the conversation thread.

- Solid tool. I was tired of copy pasting back and forth between different AIs and hitting limit halfway through the project. It definitely helps stretch my token usage.Its one of the 'why didn't it exist sooner' extensions.5 stars.
