Gemini folders and history search

The panel is already in this build

In the current build the Chatsavo panel opens on Gemini. Gemini support is in testing, so some actions can be rough. Grok, Alice, DeepSeek and Perplexity are in testing too; ChatGPT and Claude are supported; GigaChat comes later.

Why you'd want it in Gemini

Gemini has Notebooks, and you can collect chats in them. There is no separate search across conversation text, and history grows fast. If you use Gemini alongside ChatGPT or Claude, you end up searching each interface separately.

What the Gemini panel includes

The same things as on ChatGPT and Claude. On Gemini this is still testing, so the interface can misbehave:

• The Chatsavo panel on the left — folders up to 5 levels, "Pinned", "Recent".
• Drag chats from Gemini's list into Chatsavo folders, or use "Move to…".
• Search the text of chats opened after install. Titles from the site list can show up sooner. Word forms and a one-letter typo are handled, in English and Russian.
• Jump to the matching message in a long conversation.
• One search with ChatGPT and Claude — the "All sites" switch. site:gemini narrows it to Gemini.
• A backup — "Download everything (JSON)". A file up to 25 MB can be restored into an empty store.
• Markdown — "Download Markdown" in a chat's "…" menu, or for several selected chats. Settings can download the 20 most recent chats with an Obsidian header.

Chat text stays in your browser only.

How to try it

1. Install Chatsavo by hand from the zip on the install page. This is not a store install.
2. Open gemini.google.com. The panel should appear on the left. If it is missing or behaves oddly, that is the testing support.
3. For the stable sites, open chatgpt.com or claude.ai, click "New folder" and file some chats.
4. Press Alt+Shift+F and search for a word from a chat you have opened since installing.

While support is in testing

• Give chats clear titles right away: "Q3 report — outline" is easier to find than "New chat".
• Keep important chats in Gemini Notebooks so they are easy to open and file.
• If you need an answer for the long run, download the chat as Markdown: "Download Markdown" in the chat's "…" menu. The file holds the text Chatsavo has already saved.

Questions and answers

Does Gemini work?

The panel is in the current build. Support is in testing and can be rough — not as steady as ChatGPT and Claude.

Do I reinstall when testing ends?

While you install from a zip, download the new version from the install page and replace the folder. Your data stays. The extension is not in the stores. When support leaves testing, it will be in the changelog.

Will it cost more?

No. Chatsavo is free: no trial, no plan limits, no card and no account. Folders nest up to 5 levels. More on the Free page.

How is this better than Gemini Notebooks?

Notebooks are still useful. Chatsavo adds search across the text of chats you have opened since installing, a jump to the message, and one folder structure for several AIs. On Gemini this is still testing.
