Everyone wants the hot take. The secret prompt. The workflow hack that'll 10x your output.
Here's mine: export your important conversations.
That's it. That's the tip.
It's not sexy. It won't get you likes on Twitter. But in six months, when you're trying to remember why you made a certain technical decision, or what insight you had during that amazing AI session last quarter — you'll be glad you did it.
I've been doing this for about a year now. Every conversation where something genuinely clicks — where I learn something, make a decision, or have a moment of clarity — gets exported before I close the tab. Takes 10 seconds.
The exports go into topic folders on my laptop. system-design/, career/, client-work/. I use Markdown because it's searchable and editable. When I need something, I grep the folder and find it in seconds.
The tool I use is XWX AI Chat Exporter. One extension for all the AI platforms I use — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok. Markdown is unlimited on the free tier.
Boring tip? Absolutely. But the ROI is insane. Ten seconds now saves me hours of reconstruction later.
