Frequently Asked Questions
Information about the new AI WorkGuard for ChatGPT extension and the previous AI WorkGuard version already available in the browser stores.
AI WorkGuard for ChatGPT
This section applies to the new AI WorkGuard for ChatGPT extension currently being prepared for release. It includes the redesigned Light UI, Free and Pro tools, advanced exports and long-conversation support.
WHAT IS THE NEW AI WORKGUARD FOR CHATGPT?
AI WorkGuard for ChatGPT is a desktop browser extension designed to help users manage long ChatGPT conversations, preserve important context, search large chats, create exports and continue work safely in a new conversation.
The new version includes a redesigned Light UI and separates permanent Free Tools from optional Pro Tools.
IS THE NEW VERSION AVAILABLE IN THE BROWSER STORES?
Not yet. The new AI WorkGuard for ChatGPT version is currently being finalized and tested.
The Chrome Web Store and Mozilla links shown lower on this page currently refer to the previous AI WorkGuard extension.
WHAT FREE TOOLS ARE INCLUDED?
The new version includes permanent Free Tools for essential long-conversation work. Depending on the current build, these include:
- Conversation Load information and guidance.
- Conversation Load Optimizer controls.
- Search This Conversation.
- Continuation Handoff tools.
- ChatGPT Memory shortcut with a safety confirmation.
Free Tools remain available without requiring a paid licence.
WHAT PRO TOOLS ARE INCLUDED?
Pro Tools include advanced exports, organization and productivity workflows such as Export as TXT, Create Export Files, Chat Organizer, Custom Prompt Builder and Create Related Chat Automatically.
Final Pro availability will be connected to the licence system before public release.
HOW DOES THE PRO TRIAL WORK?
The planned trial allows up to four successful Pro actions per day for three days.
The trial starts only after the first successful Pro action. Simply opening a tool or panel does not start the trial or consume an action. Unused daily actions do not carry over.
WHICH EXPORT FORMATS ARE SUPPORTED?
The extension provides a direct TXT export and an Export Preview workflow that can generate PDF, DOCX, Markdown, HTML, JSON and CSV files.
Export availability may depend on the selected tool and current Pro access state.
WHAT IS CREATE RELATED CHAT AUTOMATICALLY?
This Pro tool creates a new related ChatGPT conversation and transfers structured continuation context from the current conversation.
Very large or very old conversations may need additional time to load before the button is used. For those conversations, allow approximately 20–30 seconds after opening the chat before starting the automatic related-chat process.
This behavior is still being tested across very large historical conversations.
WHAT DOES THE CHATGPT MEMORY BUTTON DO?
The ChatGPT Memory button helps the user open ChatGPT’s own Memory controls. AI WorkGuard does not secretly read or maintain a separate copy of ChatGPT memory.
Because editing or deleting memories may affect future ChatGPT behavior, the extension displays a warning and requires confirmation before opening the Memory controls.
DOES AI WORKGUARD UPLOAD MY CONVERSATION TO EXTERNAL SERVERS?
AI WorkGuard is designed to process supported conversation content locally inside the browser for its extension functions.
The extension does not sell or share conversation content. Payment and licence verification services, once connected, will handle licence and purchase information rather than the contents of the user’s conversations.
WHAT IS CONVERSATION LOAD?
Conversation Load is an extension estimate intended to help users understand when a ChatGPT conversation is becoming large and may benefit from a handoff or continuation workflow.
It is not a direct measurement of computer RAM, ChatGPT server memory or the model’s internal context window.
DOES AI WORKGUARD DELETE CHATGPT MESSAGES?
No. AI WorkGuard does not delete messages from ChatGPT unless a future feature explicitly asks the user for a separate confirmation and performs an official user-requested action.
Current conversation tools focus on handoff creation, local organization, search and exports.
CAN I USE THE NEW VERSION ON MOBILE?
The current version is primarily designed for desktop browsers. Mobile compatibility remains an important future consideration, but mobile browsers may not support the same extension workflow.
IS AI WORKGUARD AN OFFICIAL OPENAI OR CHATGPT PRODUCT?
No. AI WorkGuard for ChatGPT is an independent and unofficial browser extension. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to OpenAI, ChatGPT, Chrome, Mozilla, Firefox or any other AI platform or browser provider.
Previous AI WorkGuard Extension
The questions and store links below apply to the earlier AI WorkGuard extension that is already available through the Chrome Web Store and Mozilla Add-ons.
WHAT IS THE PREVIOUS AIWORKGUARD EXTENSION?
The previous AIWorkGuard version is a desktop browser extension designed to help users work with long AI conversations.
It helps create clean continuation or handoff TXT files so work can continue in a new conversation without losing important context.
WHAT IS A HANDOFF TXT FILE?
A handoff TXT file is a structured continuation file. It contains important project context, current status, next action and key warnings needed to continue work in a new AI conversation.
DOES THE PREVIOUS AIWORKGUARD UPLOAD MY CONVERSATION TO EXTERNAL SERVERS?
No. The previous AIWorkGuard extension does not collect, sell, transmit or share conversation content.
It is designed to process visible conversation content locally in the browser when the user requests a handoff TXT file.
DOES THE PREVIOUS AIWORKGUARD USE ANALYTICS OR TRACKING?
No. The previous AIWorkGuard extension does not use analytics, advertising trackers, behavioral tracking or profiling systems.
ARE MY CHATS SAVED ANYWHERE OTHER THAN MY PERSONAL DEVICE?
The previous AIWorkGuard extension does not send conversation content to external servers. Any downloaded handoff TXT file is created locally in the browser.
WHAT DOES THE HIDDEN TURNS PERCENTAGE MEAN?
The hidden turns or conversation scan percentage is an estimate based on detected conversation content in the current desktop browser view.
It describes the extension’s local page-view state. It is not a measured RAM value, not a server-side metric and not a guarantee of system-memory reduction.
DOES THE PREVIOUS AIWORKGUARD DELETE MESSAGES FROM THE AI SERVICE?
No. Any desktop cleanup or hiding behavior is local to the browser where the extension is running.
It does not delete messages from the AI service and may not affect what appears on other devices.
CAN I USE THE PREVIOUS AIWORKGUARD ON MOBILE?
The previous AIWorkGuard extension is designed for desktop browser use. Mobile apps and mobile browsers may not support the same extension workflow.
WHICH BROWSERS SUPPORT THE PREVIOUS VERSION?
The previous AIWorkGuard extension is available for Chrome and Chromium-based desktop browsers through the Chrome Web Store, and for Firefox through Mozilla Add-ons.
IS AIWORKGUARD AN OFFICIAL OPENAI, CHATGPT, GOOGLE, CHROME, MOZILLA OR FIREFOX PRODUCT?
No. AIWorkGuard is an independent and unofficial browser extension. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to OpenAI, ChatGPT, Google, Chrome, Mozilla, Firefox or any AI platform.
