Export Your Data

You can export a copy of your Groupthink data at any time, on any plan, including the free plan. Groupthink prepares an archive and emails you a download link.

There are two exports, both in the same place:

Export Button What you get
Export your data Export my data Everything: your people, what Groupthink learned about them, your notes, and your meetings.
Just your captures Export my captures Only the things you said or typed to Groupthink directly, as Markdown by day plus JSONL.

Both are free. Neither changes or deletes anything in your account.

Where to find them

  1. Click your profile avatar and choose User settings, then open the Account tab. Or go straight to app.groupthink.com/settings#account.
  2. Find the Export your data card. The Export my data button is at the top. Below the divider, under Just your captures, is the Export my captures button.
  3. Click the one you want. The card shows a message that your export is being assembled. You can leave the page; it runs in the background.
  4. When it is ready, you get an email with a Download button. Click it to download the archive. The email subject is "Your Groupthink data export is ready" or "Your Groupthink capture history is ready".

You can run both exports at the same time. Each one shows its own status on the card.

The link in the email works for 48 hours and can be used once. After you download the file, or after 48 hours, the link stops working and opens a page that points you back to settings. Start another export if you need a fresh link.

Do not forward the email. The link opens your data.

What is in the full export

The Export my data archive contains:

  • export.json: a structured copy of your account data.
  • relationships.csv: your relationships, in a spreadsheet format you can open in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets.

What is in the captures export

The Export my captures archive is built to be read by a person and parsed by a tool:

  • README.md: explains the layout and the source labels.
  • captures/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD.md: one Markdown file per day, in your own timezone. Each capture is a heading with the time, the source, and who it was filed to, followed by the exact text you captured.
  • captures.jsonl: the same captures, one JSON object per line, for tools. Each line has id, captured_at, source, source_raw, to_entity, about_entities, text, and role.

A day file looks like this:

# 2026-08-20 — Thursday, August 20, 2026

_Times are America/Los_Angeles._

### 14:05 — voice → Adam Chen

Adam is worried about Q3 pipeline. Follow up Friday.

### 16:30 — ask → Adam Chen

**You asked:**

What does Adam care about right now?

**Groupthink answered:**

Adam cares about landing Q3.

Each block ends with a hidden HTML comment carrying the capture ID. You will not see it when the file is rendered. It is how GitHub repo sync knows not to write the same capture twice.

What counts as a capture

A capture is something you said or typed to Groupthink yourself:

Source label What it is
voice A voice note you recorded, transcribed
router A quick capture typed into the capture box and routed to a person
quick_log A Quick Log line about a person
note A note you typed or pasted on a person's page, in the capture inbox, or from the iPhone app
text A text conversation you pasted or forwarded in
ask A question you asked Groupthink about someone, with the answer Groupthink gave

A question you asked the AI includes both sides, labelled. A voice note whose transcript never arrived is still listed, with a placeholder instead of text.

What is not in the captures export

Content that came in from sources you connected or forwarded: email, Slack, Google Drive, screen content, GitHub activity, and uploaded meeting decks. Your conversations with the Groupthink advisor are also left out. All of that is in the full Export my data archive.

Notes

  • Exporting does not change or delete anything in your account. It is a read-only copy.
  • If the card says your last export did not finish, click the button again. If it keeps failing, email support.
  • Want your captures and meetings kept up to date in a repo you own, without exporting by hand? See GitHub repo sync (Pro).
  • If you instead want to remove your account entirely, see Delete Your Groupthink Account.
