FAQ
Quick answers before you read
Can I search inside Gemini message content, not just titles?
Gemini's own search matches conversation titles in the sidebar. AI Toolbox indexes every message locally and searches the text, with role, date and exact-match filters, opened with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+F on gemini.google.com. The free plan shows the first 5 results per query; Premium shows all of them.
How do I export or back up Gemini conversations?
Gemini's share menu sends one response to Docs or Gmail, and Google Takeout exports Gems and account activity rather than readable chats. AI Toolbox exports any conversation from Manage Chats as TXT on the free plan, and as Markdown with YAML frontmatter, JSON or PDF on Premium, one at a time or in bulk.
Can deleted Gemini conversations be recovered?
Not once deleted: Gemini removes them permanently and no extension can bring them back. A conversation that is only missing is usually findable with full-text search. The backup guide covers exporting before Gemini Apps Activity auto-delete runs.
Does AI Toolbox add folders and bookmarks to Gemini?
Yes. Manage Folders adds folders with unlimited subfolders to gemini.google.com (2 root folders free, unlimited on Premium), and any Gemini message can be bookmarked with a note and colour label. Smart Tags label conversations by topic automatically.
Which of these guides need the paid plan?
None of them. Every guide explains the native Gemini feature first and states the free-plan limit where AI Toolbox is involved. The paid features are unlimited search results with the Advanced filters, unlimited folders, bulk export and delete, and Markdown, JSON and PDF export. Watermark removal on image downloads is free.
Does AI Toolbox work in Edge, Brave or Firefox?
It installs from the Chrome Web Store into any Chromium browser: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Arc. There is no Firefox version.
