If you love Notion and also love doing research and brainstorm with AI, then I have something for you!

I also love both of the things I mentioned above and until recently I always copy the conversations or replies from AI that I want to save and note down into a Notion page which I am working on.

Not anymore, though, since I have developed and released a free chrome extension that enables smooth and seamless AI chat export to Notion.

Though the extension only does one thing, surprisingly handling exports from multiple AI Chat providers (Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini) does provide challenges due to little details in which each of them implement their chat web interface.

On top of that, there are also challengs that Notion API provide in form of a limitation it imposes on the maximum number of blocks.

Privacy-first approach by not storing any PII from the user, not even email address. Exported conversations are stored in the user’s browser local storage.

Encrypted access token provided by Notion from the granted access by the user. This is always important, however in Notion’s case the importance of encrypting access token is heightened due to the fact the granted access token never expires.

To have two kinds of copy buttons, one for the whole chat and another to copy singular pair of a reply from the AI and the user prompt that preceeds it.

To translate replies from the AI into Notion blocks by relying on the html tags of each AI reply. For example, a <li> on the user reply will be converted into a Notion block of bulleted_list_item type.

For longer chats, due to Notion’s API limitation on maximum number of blocks when creating a new page, we have to turn a long chat into multiple chunks of 100 blocks. The first 100 blocks get added during page creation, the rest of the chunks to be added to the page later.
