May 4, 2026 I built a Chrome extension that makes ChatGPT feel like it has infinite memory

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

I recently built and launched ChatRelay, a Chrome extension that fixes one of the most annoying parts of using ChatGPT at scale:
👉 losing context when you hit conversation limits.


🧠 The problem

If you use ChatGPT a lot (writing, coding, brainstorming), you’ve probably hit:

  • “You’ve reached the limit for this conversation”

  • Forced to start a new chat

  • Losing all context or manually copying everything

This breaks flow completely.


⚡ The solution: ChatRelay

ChatRelay automatically bridges the gap between sessions.

When a limit is reached, it:

  1. Captures the full conversation

  2. Opens a new ChatGPT session

  3. Injects the entire context

  4. Displays previous messages inline so it feels continuous

To the user, it feels like ChatGPT just… never stopped.


🔥 What makes it different

  • Works automatically (no manual copy/paste)

  • Multi-session chaining (infinite continuation)

  • Context preserved visually (“ghost messages”)

  • Fully local (no backend, no tracking)

  • Works in multiple languages


🧪 Why I built it

I was using ChatGPT for long dev + writing sessions and kept losing momentum every time I hit limits.

So I built something that makes ChatGPT behave like a persistent thinking partner instead of a session-based tool.


🚧 What I’m looking for

  • Feedback from power users

  • Ideas for monetization (if any)

  • Other painful ChatGPT workflows worth solving


If you’re interested in AI tools, dev tools, or browser extensions, I’d love your thoughts 🙏

About

I built ChatRelay because I was repeatedly frustrated by how ChatGPT handles long sessions. When working on coding, writing, or research tasks, I often hit conversation limits right in the middle of my workflow.
