Port Your AI Personality and History via the New Switching Tool

Import your memory and chat history from other AI tools seamlessly.

Use Gemini's new switching tools in Settings to import your personal preferences and past chat history from other AI platforms.

Google Gemini

The Scenario

You are switching from another AI assistant (like ChatGPT) to Gemini and don't want to lose months of personalized instructions and project history. This is ideal for maintaining continuity in your digital assistant.

Before & after

The old way

You manually re-type your preferences, past project details, and style guidelines into every new chat, costing 10–15 minutes per session.

With AI

Paste the provided prompt into your old AI tool, then copy the output back into Gemini. The setup takes about 3–5 minutes once.

The Prompt
