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.", "body_md": "Chrome + Edge\n\n# Take your AI conversations with you.\n\nCopy a thread from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and continue it in another provider — without retyping the chat.\n\nHow it works\n\n## Extract. Choose. Continue.\n\n-\n01\n### Extract the current chat\n\nOpen a conversation on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Click the ContextSwitch icon and extract the thread.\n\n-\n02\n### Pick a destination\n\nSend the full conversation, the last 10 messages, or the last 20. You choose how much context travels.\n\n-\n03\n### Keep talking\n\nContextSwitch opens a new chat and pastes the thread into the composer. You send the message yourself.\n\nProviders\n\n## Works with the chats you already use\n\nPortable files\n\n## .chatbridge\n\nExport 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.\n\nPrivacy\n\n## Nothing leaves your browser\n\nContextSwitch 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.\n\nInstall\n\n## Get it for your browser\n\nListings go live when the Chrome Web Store and Edge Add-ons reviews finish. This page will point at those URLs.\n\nContact\n\n## Write to me\n\nQuestions, store review notes, or a selector that broke after a site redesign — send it here.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-contextswitch-make-your-llm-chats-provider-agnostic", "canonical_source": "https://contextswitch-blue.vercel.app/", "published_at": "2026-08-28 16:57:34+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-28 17:18:35.647048+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["ContextSwitch", "ChatGPT", "Claude", "Gemini", "Chrome", "Edge"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-contextswitch-make-your-llm-chats-provider-agnostic", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-contextswitch-make-your-llm-chats-provider-agnostic.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-contextswitch-make-your-llm-chats-provider-agnostic.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-contextswitch-make-your-llm-chats-provider-agnostic.jsonld"}}
