ChatLodge
ChatLodge is a browser extension that saves AI chat answers from platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, enabling users to build a personal, searchable knowledge base. It adds an inline Save button to supported chat interfaces, allowing one-click capture of valuable responses. A local AI model runs entirely in the browser to generate semantic embeddings, so all indexing and search happen on-device without requiring an API key or external server. The extension automatically tags saved entries by topic and alerts users when answers may be outdated based on topic-specific staleness thresholds. Optional sync is end-to-end encrypted for privacy. ChatLodge unifies answers from multiple AI tools into a single vault, making it easy to retrieve information by meaning rather than exact keywords.
