Key facts
- Kagi's Assistant documentation lists “Export conversations as markdown or JSON” as an Assistant feature.
- The same documentation says a thread can be exported through the
⋮button shown when you hover over the thread. - Kagi's FAQ says exported threads are saved as Markdown
.mdfiles and can be opened by any text editor. - The July 30, 2026 entry in Kagi's official changelog says all threads can be exported at once from Settings > General.
- A June 16, 2026 changelog entry records a report that references were missing from Markdown and JSON exports. The entry gives the report without a resolution.
How do you export one thread?
Kagi calls each stored conversation a thread. The Assistant documentation says that threads can be renamed, pinned, made permanent, shared, placed in folders, exported, and deleted through the ⋮ button that appears when you hover over a thread. Open the thread list, hover over the research conversation, and use that menu's export action.
The same page names Markdown and JSON as the available export formats. It gives specific opening guidance for the Markdown result: an exported thread is saved as a Markdown .md file, which a text editor can open. Kagi also names Marko for Mac and iPhone or iPad, PilcrowMD for Android, MDHero for Windows, and md-viewer for Linux as Markdown readers that can show the formatted result.
What is documented about Markdown and JSON?
Markdown is the format for which Kagi documents both a file extension and ways to open the result. The page identifies the file as .md and says a text editor can open it. The cited Assistant page publishes no JSON schema or sample JSON export, so the exact field structure is an open point for implementation work.
The export formats concern the thread itself. Kagi says interactions with the Assistant are stored in threads, and it says the thread-saving setting is applied when the thread is created. By default, threads are kept for 24 hours after the last message, while the settings offer permanent retention. An expired conversation has no available thread entry for export.
Can you export all Assistant threads?
Kagi's July 30, 2026 changelog says that users can export all threads or permanently delete them at once from Settings > General. This is a separate bulk control from the per-thread ⋮ menu described in the Assistant documentation. The changelog sentence leaves the formats of the bulk action unspecified.
For research conversations that include references, Kagi's changelog records issue #10741 under the June 16, 2026 update, describing reference export problems in Markdown and JSON. This is a recorded issue entry; the cited pages establish the report and leave later reference handling open.
