If you regularly use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, you’ve probably faced this problem 👇
You had an amazing response 50 messages ago, but now:
- Endless scrolling
- Cmd/Ctrl + F doesn’t help much
- Context is lost
- Gemini loads history lazily, making it even worse
Long AI conversations quickly become unusable once they grow past a certain point.
The Problem
AI chats are great for:
- Debugging complex issues
- Research and learning
- Long brainstorming sessions
- Iterative prompt refinement
But current chat UIs are not designed for long-term navigation.
Common issues:
- No structured overview of prompts
- Hard to jump between questions
- Re-finding past answers is painful
- Each platform handles history differently (especially Gemini)
As conversations grow, signal gets buried under noise.
The Solution: Prompt Navigation for AI Chats
I built a Chrome extension that adds prompt-level navigation to AI chat platforms.
Instead of scrolling endlessly, you get:
- A structured list of prompts
- One-click jump to any question
- Faster navigation across long chats
- A consistent experience across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini
Think of it as a table of contents for your AI conversation.
How It Works
The extension:
- Detects user prompts in the current chat
- Builds a navigable list in a side panel
- Lets you instantly jump to any prompt-response pair
- Works entirely on the client side (no backend, no data leaving your browser)
Gemini-specific note
Gemini loads older messages dynamically as you scroll.
Because of this, the extension can only index the currently loaded prompts.
Once you click an older prompt, Gemini loads more history, and the list updates progressively.
This is a platform limitation — not a data or permission issue.
Use Cases
This extension is especially useful if you:
- Debug long coding sessions
- Revisit research-heavy conversations
- Refine prompts over multiple iterations
- Use AI as a learning or thinking partner
- Switch between multiple AI platforms daily
Instead of restarting chats or copy-pasting summaries, you can navigate and reuse context efficiently.
Why I Built This
Many people suggest:
“Just ask the LLM to summarize and start a new chat.”
That works — but it breaks flow.
I wanted:
- Zero disruption
- No re-prompting
- No backend APIs
- A simple UX improvement that should’ve existed by default
So I built it.
What’s Next
I’m actively improving it based on feedback:
- Better prompt grouping
- Cross-chat reuse ideas
- Performance improvements for very long sessions
If you spend hours inside AI chats, this extension is meant for you.
