Save my Chatbot - AI Conversation Exporter

🚀 Download your Phind, Perplexity and MaxAI-Google search threads into markdown files!

😎 Why Save my Chatbot?

• To keep AI generated information offline,
• To share threads with others,
• To read and process in a knowledge base / note-taking app (like Obsidian),
• To improve the Phind website usability.

👉 When you are on Phind, Perplexity or Google (with MaxAI integration), simply click on the extension icon. It will automatically export the thread you are currently on into a formatted markdown file.

😮 This extension also adds export options directly inside the Phind interface. Now, you can export all your threads clicking on a simple button!

✅ Enjoy!

✏️ Please note that this project is not affiliated with Phind, Perplexity nor MaxAI.

• (Web: Exported links beginning with # prepended by page url)
• Export bug on Perplexity thread: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/Quel-nom-donner-TTxbvUcKQ9ib8r0O_I4tjQ?s=c

• "Rate on Chrome Web Store" for Firefox users => Specify both links in infos.json(?) and change for each browser (when bundle?)

• Not longer exporting AI answers and source links => stronger CSS selectors (try not to use styling classes)
• Inconsistent spaces between questions and answers
• Fix bug "AI Answer" with user question
