Claude
Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek and GitHub Copilot
The guides above work the same way for these: one folder per service, the same notes and settings. Each is off until you turn it on in Settings → Chat services, because Chrome asks you to allow the site first.
- GeminiChats with web sources as footnotes, thinking, other drafts of a reply, pictures it made, Deep Research reports, Canvas and Gem chats.
- Microsoft CopilotChats from copilot.com, with web sources as footnotes, photo galleries where they stood, pinned chats and the pictures you uploaded.
- PerplexityThreads with sources as footnotes, Pro Search steps, Deep Research reports, your uploads, and Spaces as folders.
- GrokChats with sources as footnotes, thinking and tool calls, the pictures Grok made as files, and projects as folders.
