# Chrome Extension — Quick Start

## Install

1. Visit [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mdfycc-%E2%80%94-publish-ai-outpu/nkmkgmebaeaiapjgmmalbeilggfhnold)
2. Click "Add to Chrome"
3. Pin the extension for easy access

## How It Works

### Capture from ChatGPT

1. Open any ChatGPT conversation
2. Click the **mdfy** floating button (bottom-right)
3. The entire conversation is captured and formatted
4. URL is copied to clipboard — paste anywhere

### Capture from Claude

1. Open any Claude conversation
2. Click the **mdfy** floating button
3. Conversation is auto-detected and formatted with User/Assistant roles
4. Share the URL with your team

### Capture from Any Page

1. Click the mdfy icon in the toolbar
2. Select "Capture Page" from the popup
3. The page content is converted to Markdown
4. Published instantly with a shareable URL

## What Gets Captured

| Source | Format |
|--------|--------|
| ChatGPT | Formatted conversation with roles |
| Claude | Formatted conversation with roles |
| Gemini | Formatted conversation with roles |
| Any webpage | Clean Markdown from page content |
| Selected text | Just the selection |

## Tips

- **Pin the extension** to your toolbar for one-click access
- The floating button only appears on AI chat sites (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
- All captures are **private by default** — you control sharing
- URLs are permanent — share once, update anytime

---

## Summary
The mdfy Chrome extension captures conversations from ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI platforms, as well as any webpage content, converting them to formatted Markdown and generating shareable URLs while keeping captures private by default.

## Themes
- AI conversation capture and sharing
- One-click content conversion
- Multi-platform support

## Key takeaways
- The extension captures conversations from ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini with automatic role detection and formatting.
- Captured content is converted to shareable URLs that remain permanent and can be updated after publication.
- The extension can capture full pages as Markdown, selected text only, or entire AI conversations depending on the source.
- All captures are private by default with user-controlled sharing options.
- Pinning the extension to the toolbar enables one-click access to capture functionality.

## Insights
- The extension uses floating buttons on AI sites but toolbar icons on regular pages, suggesting different interaction patterns for different contexts.
- Privacy is positioned as a default feature rather than an opt-in setting, indicating user control is central to the product philosophy.
- The tool treats conversation formatting (with User/Assistant roles) as a special feature distinct from generic page capture.

## Open questions / gaps
- What happens if a user tries to update a shared URL and the original sharer has not granted permission?
- Are there storage limits or expiration policies for the permanent URLs?
- How does the extension handle sensitive information or token limits in very long conversations?

## Concepts in this document
- **Chrome extension** _(entity)_
  Surface within memory.wiki ecosystem.
- **Claude** _(entity)_
  Specified AI tool for prototyping and validation before moving to high-fidelity design.
- **ChatGPT** _(entity)_
  One of the AI platforms currently suffering from isolated memory silos.
- **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** _(entity)_
  Technical protocol enabling AI agents to interact with mdfy documents for memory management.
- **AI Memory Ownership** _(concept)_
  Core philosophy that users should intentionally author and control their AI's memory rather than rely on automatic extraction.
- **Cross-AI interoperability** _(concept)_
  Core value proposition that any AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor) can read the same URL-based memory hub.
- **Gemini** _(entity)_
  One of the AI platforms currently suffering from isolated memory silos.
- **Cross-AI Workflow** _(concept)_
  Pattern for reading and updating mdfy documents across multiple AI tools using shared URLs.
- **mdfy Content Ecosystem** _(concept)_
  The underlying platform used to transform ephemeral chat sessions into permanent markdown documents.
- **Markdown as Lingua Franca** _(concept)_
  Using Markdown to ensure knowledge can be moved between any AI or human interface.
- **Law Navigation (Beop-dae-ro)** _(concept)_
  A paradigm shift from legal searching to guided action-based navigation for legal problems.
- **Privacy Control** _(concept)_
  Default-private capture model where users explicitly choose what content to share via generated URLs.
