My Chatbot History

A tool for exploring your AI chatbot use. Follow the instructions below to download your data from popular AI chatbot services. Then use this tool to visualize and analyze your conversation history. Toggle the visibility of individual conversations then save your session to file and load it later.

This tool was developed as part of the Swedish Research Council-funded project ‘Between Automation and Authorship: Generative AI and the Doing of Academic Writing’ at the Centre for Responsible Educational Technology at the University of Gothenburg.

Import your chat export

Choose the .zip you downloaded, the unzipped .json/.csv files, or (on a computer) the whole folder. You can combine multiple exports at any time.

On a phone you can’t pick a folder — choose the .zip you downloaded. If your export is an unzipped folder, compress it to a .zip first (in Files: long-press the folder → Compress).
