Open-Source Tool Targets ChatGPT Enterprise Export Gap, Risks Terms Breach

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Business and Enterprise workspaces lack a convenient way for users to export complete chat histories, complicating long-term backups of conversations and attachments. The limitation matters for companies that rely on the service to store research, reporting or operational knowledge, raising concerns over records retention, regulatory compliance and vendor lock-in if data cannot be moved easily to internal systems.

A journalist has released scrapemychats, a free, open-source tool priced at $0 that captures chats and attachments through a browser for offline storage. As of July 24, 2026, the developer has acknowledged that the extraction method may violate OpenAI’s terms of service. That leaves users weighing easier backups against compliance risks, while the tool could eventually be blocked through changes to ChatGPT’s website or other technical enforcement.
