Hey HN,

If you've ever tried to export Gemini chat history, you already know the problem: there's no native way to do it.

I use Gemini heavily for research and writing. After every session I'd end up doing the same tedious thing — select all, copy, paste into Word, fix broken formatting, repeat. Code blocks collapsed into plain text. Headings disappeared. Tables fell apart. It was 10 minutes of cleanup for every conversation worth keeping.

So I built Gemini Exporter, a Chrome extension that handles the export Gemini chat workflow in one click. Supported export formats:

- Export Gemini chat to Word (DOCX) – structure preserved: headings, lists, code blocks, all editable

- Export Gemini chat to PDF – clean layout for sharing, archiving, or compliance

- Export Gemini chat to Google Docs – direct push, no file download needed, ready for collaboration

- Export Gemini chat to Notion – converts the thread into a Notion page for documentation or knowledge bases

- Export a selected part or the entire chat history

- Set font, size, and text color before export

Why not just use the API? The Gemini API doesn't expose a user's existing conversation history — it only generates new responses. The only way to export Gemini chat that already exists in the browser is to read it from the DOM directly. That's what the extension does, entirely client-side. No conversation data leaves your browser for Word and PDF exports.

Would appreciate feedback from anyone with complex chats — especially heavy code blocks, math notation, or very long multi-turn threads. Those are the edge cases I'm still hardening.
