About

Have you ever felt the frustration of pouring hours into a detailed, insightful conversation with ChatGPT or Claude, only to have that valuable knowledge locked away inside a web interface? We understand that feeling. That’s why we created 236. Chat Export, the essential tool designed to liberate your artificial intelligence interactions.

We make this possible by allowing you to effortlessly export your entire chat history into clean, universally compatible Markdown files. These files include crucial metadata like precise timestamps and clear speaker labels, ensuring you never lose context.

What sets 236. Chat Export apart is its commitment to simplicity and user control. We believe that powerful tools should be accessible to everyone, not just developers.
