Why the chats drift apart
AI chatbots are the most popular use of generative AI in the Netherlands, especially among young people and the highly educated, according to a University of Twente study published in February 2026. It's easy to open a new chat for each question, and each chat only knows its own part.
The slides chat doesn't know you changed the structure in another one. The research chat still suggests a source the group dropped last week.
Merge by hand
- Go through each chat and note what still stands: the research question, the structure, the sources you're keeping.
- Cross out what's outdated, even if a chat still says it.
- Write an opening message for a new chat:
I'm working on a group project and have used several chats. Here's where we stand. TOPIC AND QUESTION: [...] STRUCTURE (current): [...] SOURCES (kept): [...] DROPPED: [what no longer applies] MY PART: [what I'm responsible for] NEXT: [e.g. draft section 3] Confirm briefly, then let's continue.
With two short chats that's quick. With four long ones, it takes a while.
The faster way: Merge in Uncook
Merge in Uncook combines several chats into one prompt. Open one of your chats, click the Uncook icon, choose Merge and add the others. They can come from different AIs, ChatGPT and Claude for example. You get a prompt with the shared state, to send first in a new chat.
See the tool box for account conditions and how many chats you can use.
Want a document for the group instead of a prompt? Make a Memo of the same chats: what's decided, what changed, what's still open.
FAQ
Does Merge write the project for us? No. It sums up where your chats stand so you can keep working. The project stays your group's work.
What if two chats contradict each other? Say in the new chat which version applies. To find the contradictions first, Memo points them out.
Can I merge chats from Gemini too? Yes. The extension reads chats from supported AIs, including ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.

We don't keep the conversations you bring. When you click Send to Uncook in the extension window, the extension sends the chat from your tab to our servers, encrypted, for up to 30 minutes, and we delete it as soon as your Uncook page opens it. What Uncook makes from it is kept as a task, for as long as our Privacy page says. Neither your chats nor your tasks are used to train AI models.
