Help build a public dataset of real AI conversations
Every day, millions of people have fascinating conversations with AI. You can help preserve them. Our extension lets you save the interesting ones and contribute them to researchers studying how these systems actually work in practice. Think of it as citizen science for the AI age.
About this project
Most AI research happens in labs with careful prompts and controlled conditions. But that's not how people actually use these tools.
Real conversations are messier. More creative. Full of context that matters.
When enough people document their experiences, patterns emerge that lab testing misses. Researchers can study how different models handle ambiguity. Where they excel with real users. How they perform across different domains and tasks.
You're contributing to research about AI that benefits everyone.
From Private Chat to Public Record
Chat normally. Find a conversation worth sharing
The Capture button appears next to each AI response on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other supported platforms. When you see a response worth documenting—insightful, beautiful, bizarre, useful, or just plain wrong—click Capture.
What's the cultural significance of gift-giving in Japan?
Gift-giving in Japan is deeply rooted in social harmony and reciprocity. The practice of "omiyage" (bringing back gifts from travels) strengthens community bonds and shows consideration for others...
Saving creates a permanent, shareable link
Each response you save gets uploaded and preserved with a unique URL. Share it with colleagues. Reference it in your own work. The link won't disappear when the chat does. You can add context or feedback to help researchers understand what happened. Note that this link is technically public but can only be viewed by people who have been given the URL.

💭 Help improve AI systems
Rate this response and share your thoughts to help researchers build better AI
Optional: Contribute conversations automatically
Want to help at scale? Enable background sharing in your settings. Your conversations feed directly into a research dataset that helps scientists understand how AI behaves in real-world conditions—the messy, unpredictable situations where AI actually gets used.
You control everything
Choose what you share and who can access it. Change or disable at any time.
- Off by default – You opt in
- Choose data access level – CIP research only or verified academic researchers
- Not made public – Shared with researchers, not the internet
Contribute to Research
When enabled, the extension will privately save conversations in the background to help researchers study AI behavior. This is separate from creating public shares.
Data Access Level
Data Access Levels
CIP Only
Your conversations support internal research on AI behaviour, safety, and alignment.
Academic
Verified researchers at universities and institutions can access anonymized data for peer-reviewed studies.
