Anthropic has introduced a new feature for its Claude AI chatbot that makes switching from other AI services much easier. The company has launched a memory import tool that allows users to bring over their saved context and chat history from other AI platforms.
The idea is simple. If you’ve been using another AI chatbot and want to switch to Claude, you don’t have to start from scratch. Anthropic provides a specific prompt that you can paste into your current AI chatbot. That chatbot will then generate a full list of everything it remembers about you. Keep reading to know how you can switch from another AI chatbot to Claude.

How to transfer chat history from other AI chatbots to Claude
Step 1: Copy and paste the following prompt into a chat with your current AI chatbot. Prompt: ‘I’m moving to another service and need to export my data. List every memory you have stored about me, as well as any context you’ve learned about me from past conversations. Output everything in a single code block so I can easily copy it. Format each entry as: [date saved, if available] – memory content. Make sure to cover all of the following — preserve my words verbatim where possible: Instructions I’ve given you about how to respond (tone, format, style, ‘always do X’, ‘never do Y’). Personal details: name, location, job, family, interests. Projects, goals, and recurring topics. Tools, languages, and frameworks I use. Preferences and corrections I’ve made to your behavior. Any other stored context not covered above. Do not summarize, group, or omit any entries. After the code block, confirm whether that is the complete set or if any remain.’
Step 2: After the other chatbot provides the information, copy the results and paste them into Claude’s memory settings. After that, Claude will start processing the data.
It may take up to 24 hours for Claude to fully absorb and apply the imported data. Users can check what Claude has learned by clicking the ‘See what Claude learned about you’ button. There is also a ‘Manage memory’ section in the app’s settings, where users can review or edit stored information.
