Migrating to Claude from ChatGPT or Gemini ?

Many of you may be considering switching from OpenAI or Gemini to Claude. If so, one thing you might miss is the continuity you had with your previous AI tool. Over time, it learned your preferences, your style, your projects, and the way you like things done.

To make the transition smooth, Claude now supports memory import. Here is how you can migrate your context properly:

Copy the prompt below.
Paste it into ChatGPT, Gemini, or any AI tool you are moving away from.
Generate the response, then copy that full response.
Open Claude, go to your memory section, and paste the exported content there.

The prompt

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"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 is known, use [unknown] instead.

## Output:

- Wrap the entire export in a single code block for easy copying.

- After the code block, state whether this is the complete set or if more remain."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once done, Claude will already understand your instructions, identity, projects, and preferences. It will feel much more like continuing rather than starting from zero.
