CSV Download

CSV Download

Export AI chat tables to a CSV file — free, no account or license required.

CSV Download Integration

Turn AI chat tables into a CSV file you can open in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet app — no account, no license, no setup.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  1. The ExtractDB extension installed on your browser.
  2. A structured AI response (markdown table, headings with lists, or nested headings).

No license key or third-party account is required. CSV export is always available on the free tier.

Connection Steps

No connection is needed. CSV Download is enabled by default in the extension.

  1. Open the ExtractDB extension popup to confirm CSV Download shows as available.
  2. You are ready to export immediately — skip to Exporting data below.

Exporting data

Click Export on a chat message

  1. Open a supported AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others).
  2. Get a structured response — pipe tables, headings with sub-items, or nested headings work best.
  3. Click the ExtractDB button next to the message's Copy button.

Select the detected table

  1. In the export modal, review the content tree on the left.
  2. Select the table structure you want to export (nodes marked with a TABLE badge).
  3. In the destination dropdown at the top, choose CSV Download.

Choose fields and filename

  1. Review the included fields — toggle off any columns you do not need.
  2. Edit the Filename if you want a different name (.csv is added automatically).
  3. Check the preview row count before exporting.

Download the file

  1. Click Export (or Download CSV).
  2. Your browser saves the file to your default downloads folder.
  3. Open it in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or any CSV-compatible app.

Features

  • No auth required: Export without connecting any account or entering API keys.
  • Field selection: Include only the columns you need before downloading.
  • Custom filename: Name the file after the detected table for easier organization.
  • Works offline: Parsing and file generation happen entirely in your browser.

Troubleshooting

  • No table detected: Ask the AI for a markdown table or structured list. Plain paragraphs cannot be exported as rows.
  • Download blocked: Check your browser's download permissions for the extension. Allow downloads if prompted.
  • Empty file: Make sure at least one field is included in the export mapping.
  • Garbled characters in Excel: Open the CSV via Data → From Text/CSV and select UTF-8 encoding, or import into Google Sheets which handles UTF-8 by default.

Privacy: CSV export runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent to ExtractDB servers or any third party.
