The chats stay on this computer. [![The Kortex notice Keep your AI chats in your Library on a ChatGPT page, saying chats are saved only on this computer, with two buttons.](/images/library/consent.webp)](/images/library/consent.webp) The notice Kortex shows before it saves a single chat. 2. ## Check each AI in Saving your chats In the side panel's **Chats** tab, click the gear to open **Saving your chats**. Each AI has a row with its saved count and a switch. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok save in the background. Perplexity saves only while a Perplexity tab is open.

Type a word or an idea. Chats from all five AIs come back in one list, with the site name beside each. Notebooks that match appear above the chats. [![The Library's All chats view with a search box, filter menus and a list of chats from ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, each labeled with its site and date.](/images/library/all-chats.webp)](/images/library/all-chats.webp) All chats lists every saved chat by day. Open one to read it in full beside the list. 4. ## Narrow the results by site, date or type Use the **Any site** and **Any time** menus above the list, or type words that become chips: a site name like perplexity, a date like last week, or I asked for only your own messages. A tag works too, such as #work. 5. ## Browse by week in Timeline Open **Timeline** in the left column. It lists each week's chats from every AI, with topic chips such as Upgrade or Sourdough. Click a topic to see only its chats. [![The Timeline view listing each week's chats from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok, with topic chips Upgrade, Grant, Sourdough and Lisbon under one week.](/images/library/timeline-topics.webp)](/images/library/timeline-topics.webp) Each week’s topics, with the chats under them. 6. ## Search from any web page On any site, press **Ctrl+Shift+K** (**Cmd+Shift+K** on a Mac). The box that opens shows how many chats each AI has for your words. Press **Enter** to open one, or the right arrow to preview the message that matched.

Perplexity saves only while a Perplexity tab is open, so open one for a moment. Gemini lists only about its newest 500 to 600 chats. I want chats older than the newest 500 Kortex reads each site's newest 500 chats. For older ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini chats, open ⋯ on All chats in the Library and choose Add older chats from export files. Two AIs gave me the same answer and I see both That is expected, because each chat is kept as it happened. Open the Asked twice view to see questions you put to more than one AI, and keep them together in a folder. ## Questions people ask Something we missed? [Ask us](#contact). ### Which AIs does the Library save? ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok. Each one has its own row and switch in Saving your chats. ### Does one search really cover all of them? Yes. By default Kortex searches every saved chat from every AI, by words and by meaning, so you do not need to remember which AI you asked. ### Where is my AI chat history stored? On your computer, in a database inside Chrome. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you send it, and every send is listed in the Library's Privacy view. ### Can I stop one AI from being saved? Yes. Switch off that AI's row in Saving your chats. Delete saved chats on the same row removes what Kortex saved for it. Your chats on the site are not touched. ### Does it work on a phone? Kortex keeps your chats in Chrome on your computer, so you search them there. The Kortex docs describe the Library only on a computer. ## Keep going [Chat Library Keep your AI chats on your computer and search them, next to your YouTube videos and notebooks.](/features#organize) [Kortex docs The full reference for this feature, with every option.](/docs/chat-library) ### More tutorials - [How to search ChatGPT conversations and chat history](/tutorials/how-to-search-chatgpt-conversations) - [How to search Claude chats and find an old conversation](/tutorials/how-to-search-claude-chats) - [How to add notes to ChatGPT conversations](/tutorials/how-to-add-notes-to-chatgpt-conversations) - [How to add YouTube videos and playlists to NotebookLM](/tutorials/how-to-add-youtube-videos-to-notebooklm) [All tutorials](/tutorials) ## Do it on your own notebooks.
