OpenAI won't let some customers export their chats, but this tool will
What's happening
OpenAI's ChatGPT Business and Enterprise tiers do not include the standard chat export option, leaving some customers unable to download their conversation history. Third-party utilities such as scrapemychats are stepping in to provide export capability. Independently, community projects and posts describe tools and methods to move chats from Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude into open source models or other destinations to avoid vendor lock-in. Developers building integrations (for example, DNForum's DNF AI Hub) are connecting user AI accounts via APIs and OAuth for /gpt and /grok, and planning further integrations that rely on access to chat data.
Why it's trending
Because customers and developers are hitting vendor lock-in and missing export features right now, so third-party tools and open alternatives are gaining attention.

Big AI seems to be going after open source, while trying to keep everyone vendor locked to their service. In a lot of the world, data portability is a literal right. The data steal shouldn't extend to walling in user chats. Chat history keeps people locked into Big AI. Vendor lock in across the industry is real. So we built the way out. Our memories and data are ours, and should not be locked into
