F9 Flow (formerly AI Navigator) is an ultra-fast, universally compatible Chrome extension that injects a premium timeline and navigation sidebar into any major AI chat platform (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc.).
By aggressively stripping away the noise of massive AI responses, F9 Flow distills your long, complex conversations down to a sleek, clickable timeline of just your prompts. Press down a single hotkey, jump backward instantly, and regain complete control of your context window.
The F9 Flow architecture stays out of your way until you need it. By default, tapping F9 seamlessly slides in a minimalist, resizable dark-themed sidebar over the host page, giving you a top-level map of your entire conversation architecture.
No more endless scrolling through walls of AI-generated text. The interface actively watches the DOM to extract, sanitize, and list every interaction you've had. Click on any prompt timeline dot to instantly smooth-scroll to that exact block of context in the chat.
F9 Flow seamlessly adapts its active states to match the primary branding accent color of the specific AI engine you are currently using — whether it's ChatGPT's teal, Claude's orange, or Gemini's blue.
Your workflow is yours. With the cleanly designed extension popup, you can easily map the F9 Flow activation trigger to absolutely any shortcut combination (e.g. Ctrl + Shift + A, Alt + M).
The scraper intelligently maps the internal structures of over a dozen standard AI platforms, including:
- ChatGPT (
chatgpt.com,chat.openai.com) - Claude (
claude.ai) - Perplexity (
perplexity.ai) - Gemini (
gemini.google.com) - Grok (
grok.com,x.com) - Copilot (
copilot.microsoft.com) - Mistral (
chat.mistral.ai) - HuggingFace (
huggingface.co) - Poe (
poe.com)
