The Revenue AI Report

Portable Chat Memory Across Models (L3)

Open-source browser extension (Chat Archive) exports Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini/Grok threads to JSON or Markdown, fully local, zero outbound inference. Switch providers mid-thread without losing context. Built by John Williams (FXOps) and demoed on the GTM AI Podcast.

The steps

  1. 01

    Install the Chat Archive extension

    Tool: github.com/fxops-ai

    Chromium/Edge extension. Refresh the model's tab once after install so the extension gets DOM access. All capture happens locally, nothing leaves your machine.

  2. 02

    Export the thread you want to migrate

    Tool: Extension

    Pick JSON (for structured re-use) or Markdown (human-readable). Each turn is tagged user/assistant with timestamps.

  3. 03

    Re-upload to the destination model

    Tool: Claude / Grok / ChatGPT / Gemini

    Drop the JSON file into a new conversation with the target model + "Pick up where we left off." The new model has the full context within seconds.

  4. 04

    Build a personal/team knowledge corpus

    Tool: Notion / vector DB

    Archive exports into one folder over time. Feed into any model as RAG to build a digital twin, patterns and threads you'd otherwise forget.
