ChatLodge is a browser extension that enables users to save, search, and revisit answers generated by AI chat tools. It functions as a local-first semantic search engine for saved AI responses, meaning the indexing and search processes occur entirely on the user’s device without requiring an external server or API key. The extension is designed to work with popular AI chat platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and it can also accept manually pasted text from any source. Privacy is a core aspect: saved data remains on the device by default, and an optional sync feature is end-to-end encrypted. The extension provides several features for managing saved AI answers. A one-click save button appears inline on supported chat platforms, allowing users to capture responses without interrupting their workflow. Each saved answer is automatically tagged by topic, such as code, research, or writing. Semantic search allows users to find saved answers by meaning rather than exact keywords; free users receive 50 semantic searches per month, while Pro users have unlimited searches. Staleness alerts notify users when saved answers on fast-moving topics may be outdated, with configurable timeframes (90 days for technology, 60 days for research, 180 days for general topics). Users can access their vault through a popup or a side panel that can be pinned for persistent access. A keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+S) opens a quick paste panel for saving text from any tab. The re-ask feature lets users send a saved prompt back to the same AI platform (free) or to a different platform (Pro) to obtain a fresh or comparative response. Typical use cases include capturing useful code snippets, explanations, or writing suggestions from AI chats and later retrieving them by describing the content in natural language. For example, a user might ask “how did I set up that Redis connection?” and receive the relevant saved answer even if the exact words differ. The workflow involves saving answers as they appear, allowing the local AI model to generate a semantic index, and then searching or browsing by tag when needed. The extension is intended for users who interact with multiple AI chat tools and want a unified, private repository of their best responses. Technically, ChatLodge is a Chrome extension (version 1.0.0, updated July 11, 2026) with a size of 21.38 MiB. It is offered by Sanora Tech and is available in English. The developer has not identified as a trader, and consumer rights under European Union law may not apply. The extension does not sell user data to third parties and does not use or transfer data for purposes unrelated to its core functionality. No account is required for basic use, and the local embedding model runs entirely within the browser.
