In summary:
- Google Gemini introduces a new ‘import memory’ tool that allows users to migrate their chat histories from ChatGPT and Claude AI platforms.
- PCWorld reports this feature is rolling out in Gemini’s Settings, offering users flexibility to import either summarized personal information or complete chat histories via ZIP files.
- This development mirrors similar functionality previously offered by Claude AI, making it easier for users to switch between AI chatbot platforms without losing their conversation data.
We previously reported that Claude could import your chat histories from other AI chatbots, making it easier to migrate. (And if you do, you’ll want to know these Claude tricks to not hit your usage caps.)
Now, Google has announced (via The Keyword blog) that its Gemini AI now has an “import memory” tool for bringing over chat histories from other AI chatbots, in case you want to migrate to Gemini.
You’ll be able to import “memories” into Gemini in two ways.
If you just want to transfer the most important information about yourself from another chatbot, Gemini can suggest a prompt that you can use to get your old chatbot to summarize what it knows about you.
Then, you just paste that summary from the old chatbot into the box in Gemini’s import tool. Gemini will analyze the information about you and save it for all your future conversations.
The second method is to import your entire chat history from the other chatbot. You’ll have to export that chat history as a ZIP file, which you can then upload to Gemini and continue your old conversations.
Google says both import options have now begun rolling out. You’ll be able to find them under Settings in Gemini.
