Draft
Hey guys 👋
I built Draft because I kept losing my AI conversations.
Why
I use multiple AI chatbots everyday: ChatGPT for brainstorming, Claude for coding, Gemini for video analysis, Kimi for Chinese OCR and other specialized tools when they are better at one narrow task.
That workflow is powerful but messy. Useful answers end up scattered across chat histories, tabs, screenshots, bookmarks, and broken copy-pastes.
What
Draft is an privacy-first, local workspace that manages your AI chats. It turns useful AI conversations into editable, searchable notes in your own knowledge base. Instead of leaving a great answer buried in a chat thread, Draft helps you save it, clean it, and reuse it later.
How
visit Draft and install Draft Extension.
click extension on the AI chat window.
chat history is sent as MHTML blob to your Draft workspace, saved in local browser storage.
edit, search, listen, and share when you choose.
You can try Draft without creating a general account. The app is in Beta and free to use.
Feedback
I would love your honest feedback:
How do you currently save useful AI conversations?
Which AI platform should Draft support best first?
What would make this workflow worth paying for?
First, looks like you guys are on the right track - congrats! Is IndexedDB on the roadmap? How brittle is the auto-capture when ChatGPT ships another DOM rewrite? That seems like the real maintenance tax of scrape-based extensions

@artstavenka1 Hi Art, thanks for the support. And great question!
Yes. AI chats are captured as TipTap JSON blocks, saved to browser local storage(IndexdDB).
Great observation. Here are the tradeoffs we found.
The parser is customized with fixed rules per AI's DOM. Breakage can happen, but the cost is low. Codex can ship the fix with testing in 10mins. We plan to monitor the breakage and proactively shorten the time-to-fix by deploying automated capture tests.
The parser delievers true user values. For example, math formulas, togglable headers are not universial consistent and . My research show only Draft can deliver the perfect content elegantly. Neither Notion nor Obsidian deliever this promise.
I would love to share this video, because Draft supports AI math formulas:

The maintenance tax is real, but I'm surprised on the positive value it brings to the table.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Browser local storage means one machine wipe and the knowledge base is gone. Worth being loud about that before people start relying on it. Congrats on the launch!

@jared_salois Hi Jared, thanks much for your comment and support.
You’re absolutely right: local-first products need to be very clear about data safety.
We do have local auto backup/restore as a safety measure supported by Chrome. The app prompts new users to configure it on the landing page. If dismissed, user can find the entry in "Settings -> Data Safety".
We are also exploring Bring-Your-Own-Storage, such as user's Google Drive. So users can keep the privacy-first local editor experience while having stronger backup and recovery.
Really appreciate you calling this out. Data safety is something we want to keep improving openly.
Let me know if you have any question / suggestions.
Really useful idea — I lose so much value from long Claude/ChatGPT sessions that I never revisit. Does it capture from multiple AI tools or just one?
Draft
@rich_nashawaty Hi Rich, thanks for the comment and support. Glad this resonates with you.
Draft supports capturing AI conversations from multiple platforms. The workflow is
Open AI chat window -> One click on Draft extension -> AI conversationis saved.
Here is 30s video tutorial. It supports popular AI platforms, e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.
Let me know if you have any question or bug report.
Call me stupid but, I'm unable to see the use-case. If someone needs to store knowledge, go for Obsidian. Random AI chats being used as knowledge usually increase noise, especially when the AI is allowed to capture information.
Draft
@aakashh242 Hi Aakash, thanks for your comment and support.
That’s a fair question. We admire Obsidian too, especially for people who already have adapted Obsidian's knowledge management habit.
We’re exploring Draft in a different lense:
Loveable UX as Notion, AI-native as Obsidian.
This launch is our first step toward testing that direction with the market. One concrete difference is capturing AI conversations with rich, platform-specific content.
Quick demo: Youtube: How to Fix Your Kid’s Math Mistakes with Custom AI Worksheets (1m)
In that use case, the AI content contains math formulas. Draft’s custom parser is built to handle platform-specific formats so the saved conversation can render cleanly for printing and reuse later. This is where general tools like Notion or Obsidian often struggle to deliver the promise due to fragmentation.
The goal isn’t to replace Obsidian for power users. It’s to streamline AI knowledge capture simple enough for everyday people, with a UX closer to Notion, and the local data that preserves the details people actually want to reuse and feed to AI agents later.

@lakshminath_dondeti Hi Lakshminath, glad we share the same taste and vision in the AI era.
Yes. Would be great to understand more on your needs. Currently, chats are stored locally in your browser untill you choose to share it. A thumb-up feature on the shared page is an great idea.
Please share the detail of your workflow via in-app feedback channel or connect on X, and we’ll prioritize them to better support your use case.
@lakshminath_dondeti @toliuweijing Good idea thumbs up/down could be a simple but powerful signal for what's worth saving.
Draft
@jaydon_calhoun @lakshminath_dondeti
Thank you for seconding this idea from Lakshminath.
Now I get it more clearly: using the thumbs up/down signals that already exist in many AI platforms could be a simple yet powerful way to decide what is worth saving.
Instead of capturing an entire conversation, Draft could use those feedback signals to help filter the chat that matter most. That fits really well with the product: a lightweight way to turn useful AI conversations into clean, reusable knowledge.
I'm always impressed by those small, elegant interaction that could make the product feel much smarter and more lovable.
Thanks again for the thoughtful suggestion. I can't wait to ship it.

Do you support auto capture from multiple chat apps, or is it more manual copy and save?
Draft
@thamibenjelloun Hi Thami, nice to meet you.
It is auto capture. Open AI chat window -> One click on Draft extension -> AI conversationis saved. That's it. Watch 30s Video tutorial
Auto-capture supports Chrome the best. Manual copy-paste should work for all browsers. Because Draft is WYSISYG markdown editor.
Let me know what is missing via in-app feedback. We prioritize support for early adaptors. :)
