ChatGPT discussion/conversation organizer (after export)

1

i’m just over four months in on ChatGPT.
i finally exported my data and ended up with 3000 pages across few hundred conversations.
i discovered that “Share conversation” can be a nice way to keep chats limited to a single thought, and then continue them in subsequent new conversations, zettel style

i would like a way to organize and re-use my old conversations after exporting them.

so far, i have found the following:

  • Chat Organizer app (macOS)
  • Nexus AI Chat Importer plugin for Obsidian
  • ChatHistoryToProject - Add all your chat history to ChatGPT’s Project in split .json files
  • ChatGPT Explorer browser plugin

anyone found a solution tha they love?

my main use case is to easily reference one or more old conversations as context for a new one.
i’m ok to copy/paste these links into a new prompt window for now.
combined with Memories and Projects, i’ve so far been able to cover my needs

Nice find. It would be great if the exports were formatted better and could handle multiple conversations.

Yes. After a lot of searching I couldn’t ever find anything that worked for me, so I created this python script*:

ChatGPT Conversation Exporter - JSON to Markdown

  • Extract conversations.json from the ChatGPT Export .zip file
  • Run the script in the same directory:
    python export_conversations.py or, depending on your setup →
    python3 export_conversations.py
  • Each conversation is saved as a separate Markdown file in a folder exported_chats

It’s very fast. I drag the resulting files into Bear.app, which handles Markdown nicely and creates individual notes for each conversation so I can take advantage of titles, tags, and search. I’m pretty happy now with the formatting after a bunch of tweaking.
