Export a conversation

A conversation led to something worth keeping or passing on: a plan, an analysis, an exchange to show a colleague. This guide shows how to export it whole, in the right format, or keep just one answer.

Export the whole conversation

Open the conversation, then, in the “Conversation” menu, “Export As…”: its formats open to the right.

Choose where to save it; an “Export Complete” notification offers to show it in the Finder.

Which format to choose

• PDF: to read it, print it or send it as is;
• Word (DOCX): to edit it in a word processor;
• HTML: to open it in a browser, or publish it;
• Rich Text (RTF) and Plain Text: the text alone, for any app;
• Markdown: for a notes tool, or a code repository;
• JPEG Image: the whole conversation as one image, to drop into a message.

The export includes your messages, under “You”, and the answers, under “Assistant”, with their sources. The model’s reasoning and the details of its tools aren’t in it.

Generated images come along, except in RTF and plain text. Widgets become images in PDF, Word, HTML and JPEG; elsewhere, only their title remains. A video is replaced by “[Generated video]”.

Keep a single answer

Under an answer, “Share” sends it by Mail, Messages or AirDrop; “More options”, then “Save As...”, makes a file of it.

Make a document of it

“Create document from conversation”, in the “Conversation” menu or at the top right of the window, asks the model to draw a real document from it: it first asks you three questions, about the form you want, then writes it in Aureole’s editor, where you rework it. The document is filed in the Library, under “Documents”.
