Google Lets You Import Chat History From ChatGPT and Other AI Apps Into Gemini

Google is making it easier for users to switch from competing artificial intelligence platforms by introducing new tools that import chat history and personal context directly into Gemini.



The switching tools are rolling out to all consumer accounts starting today. The feature lets users bring over context from other AI apps so Gemini already understands key details, such as relationships, interests, and personal background, without starting from scratch.


Users can copy a suggested prompt from Gemini's settings, paste it into their current AI app to generate a summary of their preferences, then bring that data back into Google's platform. Gemini analyzes the information and securely saves those details for use in future conversations.



Google is also adding support for importing full chat histories. Users can upload a ZIP file containing past conversations from other providers. Once imported, those conversations can be searched within Gemini, allowing users to continue where they left off.

To reflect the expanded functionality, Google is renaming its "past chats" feature to "memory," a change that will roll out in the app over the coming weeks.

The move comes as Google expands Gemini's presence on Apple devices. The company is actively testing a dedicated Gemini Mac app and has been selected to power parts of Apple's next-generation Siri experience. Apple is also preparing to open iOS 27 to third-party AI assistants, increasing the importance of tools that make switching between platforms easier.
