ChatGPT chats then save on your computer every few minutes while Chrome is open and you are signed in to ChatGPT. [![The notice beside a ChatGPT chat that asks Keep your AI chats in your Library, with the buttons Keep my chats in my Library and Don't save my chats.](/images/library/consent.webp)](/images/library/consent.webp) The notice Kortex shows before it saves a single chat. 2. ## Open the Library and click Folders Click the Kortex icon in the toolbar to open the side panel, then open the **Chats** tab and the Library. Click **Folders** in the left column. Each folder is a card with the number of chats and videos inside. [![The Library's Folders view: eight folder cards such as Arts grant 2027, Thesis and Lisbon in May, each with its chat count, and a New folder button at the top right.](/images/library/folders.webp)](/images/library/folders.webp) Folders in six colours, with the number of chats inside. 3. ## Make a folder Click **New folder** and type a name, for example the project the chats belong to. A folder holds chats, notebooks and videos. To put one folder inside another, use **Subfolder** on a folder's page, or **New folder inside** in its ⋯ menu. 4. ## File a chat in the folder In **All chats**, drag a chat onto a folder. Or open the chat's ⋯ menu, choose **Add to folder…**, and pick a folder or type a name to make a new one. On ChatGPT itself, you can drag a chat from ChatGPT's own sidebar onto a folder, or use the folder box in the Kortex tab on the right edge of the page.

Tick the chats, then choose **Add to folder** in the bar above the list. Click **Done** when you finish. [![The All chats view: saved chats listed by day with their AI and tags, the Select button at the top, and a Lisbon chat open with a Lisbon in May folder chip.](/images/library/all-chats.webp)](/images/library/all-chats.webp) All chats lists every saved chat by day.

Click **Make the folder**. Kortex works this out on your computer. **Not now** hides that kind of card for a week. [![A card above All chats reading Sourdough, 3 recent chats from Claude, Gemini and Perplexity look like one topic, with a Make the folder button.](/images/library/suggested-folder.webp)](/images/library/suggested-folder.webp) Chats on one subject, from different AIs, offered as one folder. ## If it doesn’t work My ChatGPT chats are not in the Library Kortex saves only after you click Keep my chats in my Library. Open the side panel's Chats tab, click the gear to open Saving your chats, and check that Save my AI chats on this computer and the ChatGPT row are switched on. Chrome must be open and you must be signed in to ChatGPT. A chat I just had is not there yet ChatGPT chats save in the background every few minutes. Wait a little. If ChatGPT turns the background away, Kortex saves from an open ChatGPT tab for a while instead. I deleted a folder. Are my chats gone? No. Deleting a folder never deletes its chats. They stay in All chats. A chat you delete on ChatGPT also stays in your Library. ## Questions people ask Something we missed? [Ask us](#contact). ### Can I put chats from different AIs in one folder? Yes. A folder can hold chats from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok, plus YouTube videos and notebooks. That keeps everything about one project in one place. ### Can I put folders inside folders? Yes. Use Subfolder on a folder's page, or New folder inside in a folder's ⋯ menu. Folders can also be pinned to the top and take one of six colours. ### Where are my folders stored? On your computer, in a database inside Chrome. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you send it. You can also choose Make private in a folder's ⋯ menu to keep its chats on this computer. ### Can I tag chats as well as filing them? Yes. A chat can have a folder and tags at the same time.
