Feature Request: Export Project Chat History as Markdown

I’d like to request a feature that allows users to download/export entire Project chat histories as Markdown files.

Problem

Projects are becoming increasingly useful for long-term development, research, documentation, and collaboration workflows. However, there is currently no simple way to export all conversations inside a Project in a clean, portable format.

Copy-pasting chats manually is time-consuming and loses structure.

Requested Feature

Add a “Download Project” or “Export Chats” option inside Projects that:

  • Exports all chats within a Project

  • Supports .md (Markdown) format

  • Preserves:

    • Conversation titles

    • Code blocks

    • Tables

    • Lists

    • Images/file references where possible

Why Markdown?

Markdown is:

  • Lightweight

  • Human-readable

  • Git-friendly

  • Easy to import into documentation systems

  • Compatible with Obsidian, Notion, GitHub, VS Code, and many knowledge-management tools

Potential Benefits

This would greatly help users who:

  • Maintain long-term technical projects

  • Use ChatGPT for software architecture discussions

  • Archive research sessions

  • Create documentation from conversations

  • Need offline backups of project history

This would make Projects significantly more powerful for professional and technical workflows.
