One thing that's always bothered me about Gemini: you can run a 30-minute Deep Research session, get an incredible research report with 40+ citations, and then... there's no export button. Not even copy-to-clipboard for the formatted version.
Compare this to ChatGPT which has had a built-in export function for a while now.
My workflow is heavy Gemini use for research, then piping the output into Obsidian for long-form writing. The lack of export was a constant manual friction point.
I ended up building a Chrome extension to solve this: Gemini Export Studio.
What it does:
- Export to PDF, Markdown (Obsidian-ready), JSON, CSV, Plain Text, or PNG
- Deep Research exports with citations preserved inline
- Merge multiple chats into one document
- PII scrubbing (auto-redacts emails/names before sharing)
- 100% local processing, no servers, no account
It's free. Link in comments to avoid spam filter.
Curious if others have hit this same wall with Gemini and what workarounds you've used.
