The Chats tab

The Chats tab in the Kortex side panel lists the chats Kortex saved from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. You can search them in plain words, sort them into folders, and send any chat to a Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) notebook.

The Chats tab: every saved chat, newest first

Why use the Chats tab?​

Have you ever lost a good answer in a long chat history? This tab is a filing cabinet for all of them, in one list. Kortex asks before it saves any chat. See the chat Library for how saving works.

How to find a chat​

  1. Open the side panel and click Chats.
  2. Click the search box and type in plain words. You can write claude last week. Kortex turns it into a Claude filter and a Last week filter.
  3. Click a chat to open it.
Typing claude last week turns into two filters

To see the whole list in a full tab, click the Open the Library button beside the search box.

On the free plan, the list opens the last 30 days. Older chats that match show their title, site and date, and a line says how many are locked. Pro opens them.

In the side panel, older chats that match are listed as locked, with a line that says Pro opens them A card near the top says the Library trial is ending and what will lock
On the free plan

Older chats are locked, not deleted. A card near the top tells you when your 7-day trial is about to end. See the free plan and the trial.

What are the sections?​

Under the search box is a row of buttons. Each one changes what you look at.

  • All: every chat, newest first.
  • Folders: your folders. They can hold chats from any AI, and can sit inside each other.
  • Pinned: answers you pinned, from any chat.
  • Notes: notes you wrote on chats, and notes of your own. Use New note to write one.
  • Archive: chats you put aside. They stay searchable.
The Folders section lists your folders with the number of chats in each
