Chat Health – see when your ChatGPT conversation is losing context
Chat Health is a Chrome extension that helps users monitor when their ChatGPT conversations are losing context, providing a visual indicator to keep track of the conversation's continuity and relevance.
Background
- ChatGPT has a finite "context window" — the amount of text (your prompts + its replies) it can "remember" in a single conversation. Once you exceed that limit, the model starts forgetting earlier parts of the chat, which degrades the quality and consistency of its answers.
- This browser extension, Chat Health, adds a visual progress bar to the ChatGPT web interface showing how full your current conversation's context window is, so you know when it's about to hit the limit and can start a fresh session.
- Different tiers of ChatGPT (free vs. Plus vs. Pro) have different context limits. The extension lets you set your specific limit so the warning is accurate.
- The extension is open-source and does not send your chat data anywhere; all processing happens locally in your browser.
