Is There an App to Capture AI Chats and Search Them Later?
Yes — SiderMem lets you capture AI chats from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek with one click, then search everything you've saved later from a single knowledge base. Captured chats aren't siloed by platform — they're analyzed and connected alongside your other notes, web pages, and files.
How it works
- SiderMem adds a capture button directly into the chat interface on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek.
- Click it to save a full conversation or a specific message as a memory.
- The saved chat runs through the same entity extraction as everything else you save, so it gets connected to related notes and topics automatically.
- Search or use Ask to find it later — by keyword, by topic, or by asking a question in plain language.
When to use it
Useful whenever you have AI conversations worth returning to — research threads, debugging sessions, drafts — and don't want to rely on scrolling back through each chatbot's own history separately.
For moving context between coding agents specifically (Claude Code, Codex), see the CLI for developer and agent workflows instead of the browser capture flow.
How SiderMem handles this
Captured chats become part of your personal wiki (see what a personal knowledge base extension is) — explorable in Graph View, searchable, and answerable through Ask, exactly like a saved web page or note. Local storage is unlimited and free; cloud sync is opt-in.
Limitations
Capture is a one-click action per conversation or message, not automatic background scraping of every chat you have — you choose what gets saved. The capture button requires the SiderMem extension to be installed in the browser you're chatting from.
