Gmail Thread → Markdown

Turn any Gmail conversation into clean, AI-ready Markdown with one click. Reading a long email thread into ChatGPT or Claude is painful — copy-pasting from Gmail drags in broken formatting, duplicated quoted replies, signatures and hidden messages. Gmail Thread → Markdown does it properly: it expands the entire conversation, reads every single message, and gives you tidy Markdown that an AI can actually understand. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Open a conversation in Gmail. 2. Click the extension icon — a side panel opens on the right. 3. Click “Copy thread as Markdown”. 4. Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI and ask your question. That’s it. The full thread is on your clipboard as Markdown. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Captures EVERY message — it automatically expands the “N older messages” stack and every collapsed reply, so nothing in the thread is missed. (Gmail doesn’t keep collapsed messages on the page until they’re opened — this handles that for you.) • Clean Markdown — headings, bold/italic, lists, links, code, blockquotes and tables are converted faithfully. • Per-message headers — each message is labelled with sender, recipients, date and any attachment names, so the AI knows who said what and when. • Strips the noise — duplicated quoted history is removed by default so the AI reads the real content, not ten copies of the same reply. Prefer the full chain? Tick “Include quoted history”. • Live preview — see exactly what was copied in the side panel, and re-copy any time with one click. • Side panel UI — stays docked while you read, so it’s out of your way. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ GREAT FOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Summarising long email threads • Drafting replies with AI that has the full context • Extracting action items, decisions and dates • Turning a sales or support thread into notes • Feeding negotiations, quotes or SOWs into an AI for review ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Your email never leaves your browser. The extension reads the thread you have open and writes Markdown to your clipboard — locally, on your machine. It has no servers, no analytics, no tracking, and no account. It only runs on mail.google.com, and only when you click it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ NOTES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Works with standard Gmail on the web (mail.google.com), personal and Google Workspace accounts. • Open a single conversation before clicking — it reads the thread you’re viewing, not the inbox list. • Not affiliated with or endorsed by Google. “Gmail” is a trademark of Google LLC.
