How to add notes to ChatGPT conversations

Read the transcript

Here's how to add notes to your ChatGPT conversations with Kortex, and read them again in your Library. Open the conversation in ChatGPT. Click the small Kortex tab on the right edge of the page.

Its panel is about this chat. It holds the chat's folders and tags, your note, your pins and related chats. Click in the box and type.

Your note is one note for the whole chat. It saves as you type, so there's no Save button to press. To note a single answer, pin it first.

Select words in the answer, and click Pin. The pin appears under Pinned in the Kortex tab. Click Edit note, and write what it's for.

Your note is in the Library too. Open the Library from the side panel's Chats tab, and click a chat. The Your note box under its title shows the same note, and you can type there too.

You can also choose Add a note in the chat's menu. To see every note, click Notes in the Library's left column. It lists your notes on chats, and the notes you wrote on their own, newest first.

Click New note to write one. Your notes are saved in your Library, on your computer.

## If it doesn’t work

I cannot see the Kortex tab on ChatGPT

Open the side panel's Chats tab and the gear for Saving your chats. Check that Show the Kortex tab on AI sites is switched on. Then reload ChatGPT. Also make sure you answered the notice with Keep my chats in my Library.

I need more than one note on a chat

A chat has one Your note box. For more, pin the answers that matter and give each pin its own note with Edit note. Or write separate notes in the Notes view with New note.

My note is not in the Library

Open the Library's Notes view and look for the chat's title. The note also shows under the chat's title in the reader and on its Kortex tab. Chrome must stay open while Kortex saves the chat.
