Google has introduced import tools for Gemini that allow users to transfer your stored memories and complete conversation histories of ChatGPT and claudio. These tools are now available for free for both free and paid consumer accounts in the Gemini setup.
However, users in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the European Economic Area are not included in the implementation. The update was announced by Maryam Sanglaji, group product manager for the Gemini app, in a blog post published by Google.
Importing memory and chat history in Gemini
The first tool manages preferences and memory transfer. Instead of manually re-entering personal context into Gemini, users copy a message provided by Google, paste it into their existing AI assistant, and then paste the summary back into Gemini settings.
The summary includes preferences set like writing style, interests and personal details that the user previously shared with the other attendee.
How to export data from ChatGPT and Claude to Gemini
The second tool allows users to upload a ZIP file which contains your conversation history from another provider. Gemini allows up to five ZIP files per day, with a maximum size of 5 GB each.
Once uploaded, these conversations can be searched within the Gemini interface. Google will also change the name of existing ones “past talks” sidebar to “memory” over the coming weeks to better reflect the broader integration of imported personal context.
Availability of Gemini import tools and regional limits
To use the import tools, users must request a data export from their current provider.
For ChatGPT, Open Settings, go to Data Controls, and choose Export Data.
For Claudio, Open Settings, navigate to Privacy and select Export data.
Exported data is sent via email as a ZIP file. Processing times vary by provider and may take several days before the file is ready to download and upload to Gemini.
The exchange tools can be accessed through the Settings menu in Gemini on both free and paid consumer accounts. The launch is global, except in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and all countries in the European Economic Area, where the tools are not yet available. Google has not provided a timeline for when they will expand to those regions.
