Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to use the **Autopilot addon** heavily and honestly it’s incredibly powerful — but one thing that frustrated me was that every chat session was ephemeral. Once I closed the dialog, the answer I just got (and the whole conversation) was gone. If I wanted to write something into a collection based on the AI’s answer, I had to keep the modal open or copy-paste immediately.

So I built a small extension that adds **conversation history** — list, save/update, and delete — similar to what ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini offer, with a sidebar to switch between past chats.

The good part: **I didn’t modify the Autopilot addon itself at all.** Everything lives in `config/`, so it survives addon updates.
