Useful conversations become notes, plans and work you return to. Their value is a good reason to keep a copy while you can access them.
Community experiences with AI platforms and their official export processes — these are not reports of using OwnMyChats.

OwnMyChats is designed to save accessible conversations directly to your computer and keep checking for changes, while your platform access still works. It does not wait for an official export package. Copies already saved can be read and exported locally; content never backed up cannot be recovered after access is lost.

These archived reports concern the original AI platforms, their official export processes and account access, not using OwnMyChats. We did not inspect those accounts or official export packages, and do not infer incident rates or intentional deletion. One story includes restored access; that outcome is retained.
Use the export methods currently available to you, open the files and check what matters. OwnMyChats is being developed to make local saving and ongoing updates easier; it is not publicly available yet.
