Gemini introduces import memory and chats feature
Earlier this month, Claude introduced the feature to import memory from other AI chatbots. Now, Gemini has also introduced a feature like that, as you see in the screenshot.
The process is simple, you just copy the provided prompt, paste into AI provider you're using, copy the response, put into Gemini, and save. And that's it, now Gemini knows everything that the prompt extracted from Claude, ChatGPT, or others.
By the way, here's the huge prompt they provide:
You are helping me import context from one AI assistant to another. Your job is to go through our past conversations and sum up what you know about me.
In the output, please avoid using any first-person pronouns (I, my, me, mine) and any second-person pronouns (you, your, yours). Instead, refer to the individual you have learned about as "the user" or use neutral phrasing.
Preserve the user's words verbatim where possible, especially for instructions and preferences.
Categories (output in this order):
1. Demographics Information: Preferred names, profession, education, and general residence.
2. Interests & Preferences: Sustained, active engagements (not just owning an object or a one-time purchase).
3. Relationships: Confirmed, sustained relationships.
4. Dated Events, Projects & Plans: A log of significant, recent activities.
5. Instructions: Rules I've explicitly asked you to follow going forward, "always do X", "never do Y", and corrections to your behavior. Only include rules from stored memories, not from conversations.
Format:
Divide the content into the labeled section using the categories above. Try to include verbatim quotes from my prompts that justify each entry. Structure each entry using this format:
The user's name is <name>.
- Evidence: User said "call me <name>". Date: [YYYY-MM-DD].
Output:
- Format the final output summary as a text block.I used this prompt on Claude and the response is extremely detailed, but contains a lot of personal information so I can't post here.
And not just the memory, but it also lets you import chats from ChatGPT, Claude, or other providers, as you see the import chats feature in the screenshot above.
They also describe import chat process in their documentation, as you see in the above screenshot. You can directly upload the ZIP file up to 5 GB in size.
I think, this import chats feature is actually cool for people who are completely migrating to Gemini from ChatGPT, Claude, or other providers.
