Show HN: ContextSwitch – Make your LLM chats provider agnostic

ContextSwitch, a new browser extension for Chrome and Edge, lets users copy a conversation thread from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and continue it in another provider without retyping. The tool extracts the current chat, lets users choose to send the full conversation or the last 10 or 20 messages, and pastes the thread into the destination composer. It also supports exporting conversations as .chatbridge JSON files for later import, and claims no data leaves the browser.

Chrome + Edge

Copy a thread from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and continue it in another provider — without retyping the chat.

How it works

Extract. Choose. Continue. #

01

Extract the current chat

Open a conversation on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Click the ContextSwitch icon and extract the thread.

02

Pick a destination

Send the full conversation, the last 10 messages, or the last 20. You choose how much context travels.

03

Keep talking

ContextSwitch opens a new chat and pastes the thread into the composer. You send the message yourself.

Providers

Works with the chats you already use #

Portable files

.chatbridge #

Export a conversation as a local JSON file. Import it later and continue in any supported provider. ChatBridge is an open format — the file stays on your machine. Privacy

Nothing leaves your browser #

ContextSwitch does not send conversations to a ContextSwitch server. Transfer reads the current page and inserts text into the destination composer. The extension only requests access to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
