Multiple profiles and personas
Create named profiles such as Copywriter, Student, or Fitness Coach, then switch between them when different tasks call for different rules or tone.
ContxtAI
ContxtAI is an open-source browser extension that stores reusable AI context locally and injects it into supported chat tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. It is aimed at people who want to keep prompts, rules, and preferences portable without repeatedly copy-pasting them.
Portable AI memory for browser-based chat tools
ContxtAI is an open-source browser extension that acts as a portable memory layer for AI chats. It lets users store reusable context profiles locally and inject them into supported AI tools so they do not have to retype background instructions, rules, or preferences in every new conversation.
The product is positioned around local-first privacy and cross-platform use. The site says it works with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and the technical blog explains that it handles modern web editors by interacting with their DOM and input events so context can be inserted reliably into the chat box.
Powerful, privacy-first features
One-click context injection
Select a profile and inject its rules directly into the active AI chat box in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini with one click.
Auto-distillation of context
Save useful conversation patterns from a successful chat and reuse them later without rebuilding the prompt from scratch.
Local privacy scrubbing
Detect sensitive information such as passwords before text is sent to the AI, keeping that data on the user’s device.
Context budget tracking
Show a visual token budget and warning cues so users can see how much context is being sent and when long chats may start losing the original rules.
Cross-platform portability
Work as a bridge across supported AI apps so the same portable context can move between platforms instead of staying locked to one service.
Built for people who use AI repeatedly
Writers
Keep brand voice, audience notes, and style rules attached to a writing profile so each new draft starts with the same guidance.
Students
Store assignment rules, course notes, and learning preferences once, then inject them into new study chats without rebuilding the prompt.
Developers
Carry coding standards, tech stack details, and project architecture into coding chats so the AI has the same project context every time.
Marketers
Maintain campaign briefs, target audience details, and brand language for content generation and review work across multiple AI conversations.
