   • Click Load unpacked and select the dist/ folder

3. Run it:

   • Navigate to any ChatGPT conversation page (chatgpt.com)

Extension output

• The JSON output follows an Open WebUI-native import format (chat objects in an array).
• In Open WebUI, import from Settings -> Data Controls -> Import Chats.
• The exporter is DOM-based, so it can mark exports as partial when the page appears not fully loaded.
• Currently targets ChatGPT (chatgpt.com). Support for additional AI chat sources is planned.
