Gemini Sidebar Folders Chrome extension v2.0 adds local AI auto-sorting for chats
A called Gemini Sidebar Folders lets users create custom folders and their Gemini chat conversations into them. Version 2.0, coming soon, adds AI Auto-Sorting: Chrome's built-in automatically places newly created chats into the right folder without sending any data to external servers. For devices that don't support Chrome's local AI, users can enter their own API key to enable the same sorting feature.
A new import/export tool lets users back up and restore their entire folder layout across devices. The core folder feature stays free. Premium features — AI sorting, export tools, and future additions — will be unlocked with a one-time $9.99 lifetime payment (no ).
The developer is asking the community whether that price feels fair before launch.
