Claude Just Solved My Biggest Problem With AI Chatbots
Here’s how I import my memories from ChatGPT and Gemini into Claude so everything I’ve shared with other chatbots lives in one place.
Claude added a feature that lets me import memories from other AI tools. This makes switching to Claude much easier because my past preferences, projects, and instructions can move with me.
I go to claude.ai, open Settings, then Capabilities, and make sure memory features are turned on. Then I click Start Import. Claude gives me a prompt to copy.
I paste that prompt into ChatGPT, Gemini, or another chatbot. It returns a file with the memories it has about me, like how I like responses, my work, and projects.
I copy that output and paste it back into Claude. Claude saves it to memory so it understands me right away.
Here is the prompt to export things from ChatGPT or Gemini and import to Claude:
Export all of my stored memories and any context you've learned about me from past conversations. Preserve my words verbatim where possible, especially for instructions and preferences.
## Categories (output in this order):
1. **Instructions**: Rules I've explicitly asked you to follow going forward — tone, format, style, "always do X", "never do Y", and corrections to your behavior. Only include rules from stored memories, not from conversations.
2. **Identity**: Name, age, location, education, family, relationships, languages, and personal interests.
3. **Career**: Current and past roles, companies, and general skill areas.
4. **Projects**: Projects I meaningfully built or committed to. Ideally ONE entry per project. Include what it does, current status, and any key decisions. Use the project name or a short descriptor as the first words of the entry.
5. **Preferences**: Opinions, tastes, and working-style preferences that apply broadly.
## Format:
Use section headers for each category. Within each category, list one entry per line, sorted by oldest date first. Format each line as:
[YYYY-MM-DD] - Entry content here.
If no date
