Follow the evolution of ChatEngram, from the first public release onward.

Version v1.1.0

New Logo, AI Summary & Extension Improvements

2025-12-29Status:Released

This release focuses on making the browser extension more useful out of the box, with a refreshed logo, built-in AI summaries, and better control over which models you use.

New in the browser extension

New extension logo

The ChatEngram extension now ships with a refreshed logo that looks sharper in the browser toolbar, popup, and Chrome Web Store. It's easier to recognize at a glance and better aligned with the overall product brand.

AI Summary inside the dashboard

You can now generate an AI summary for any conversation directly from the dashboard detail view. Summaries are cached per conversation so revisiting them doesn't incur extra API cost.

Multiple styles are supported: quick summary, detailed summary, key points, action items, and fully custom prompts for advanced users.

Configurable providers and low-cost defaults

A dedicated AI Summary Settings panel lets you choose between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and DeepSeek, and manage your own API keys.

Default models are optimized for speed and cost (gpt-4o-mini, claude-3-haiku-20240307, gemini-1.5-flash, deepseek-chat), and the Model field is fully editable so you can plug in any other supported model name when needed.

Clearer cost hints

The extension now shows approximate per-summary costs for each provider, along with a reminder to verify pricing on the official dashboards, helping you keep API usage under control.

This initial version includes all core features that define the product vision.

✨ Core Features

1. Automatic AI Conversation Capture

Automatically saves your conversations across supported platforms, including ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Runs quietly in the background — no manual export needed.

A single search box for all your AI conversations — across all platforms. Instant indexing. Local-only. Privacy guaranteed.

3. Spotlight Command Bar (Cmd/Ctrl + K)

Navigate your entire AI memory instantly. Jump to any conversation or message in milliseconds with a universal command palette.

4. Knowledge Sync

Effortlessly sync all chats to your knowledge tools:

  • Obsidian Markdown vaults
  • Notion
  • Google Drive

Each conversation is exported as clean, structured Markdown — with timestamps and metadata.

5. Multi-chat Export

Select multiple conversations and export them together as a JSON backup file.

Perfect for research, writing, archiving, or processing with your own tools.

6. History Backfill

Automatically scrolls through older conversations to capture your complete history — even from before installing the extension.

7. Local-first Storage

Your AI memory stays on your device:

  • No servers
  • No cloud uploads
  • No tracking
  • No account required

This is privacy by design.

8. Adapter Lab (Advanced)

For technical users:

  • Custom DOM selectors
  • Custom parsing rules
