A Simple 3-Step Guide to Move Your Memories From ChatGPT to Claude
Millions of users moved from ChatGPT to Claude this week. If you're as well, don't forget to move your memories.
Millions decided to quit ChatGPT this week, given OpenAI’s new deal with the US Department of War.
Their first choice was Claude, given that Anthropic did not participate in this deal and refused to use its AI models for mass surveillance and developing fully autonomous weapons.
If you’re making this move as well, don’t forget to move your memories into Claude. Here’s a simple 3-step guide to do this.
Note that:
Claude’s memory is also available on the free plan.
This guide isn’t ChatGPT-specific and will let you move memories from any LLM provider to Claude.
Step 1
Paste the following prompt when you’re chatting with the LLM that you want to move away from.
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
Copy all the results that you obtain in the chat response.
Step 3
Go to your Claude Memory settings, paste the copied result in the text box, and click the “Add to memory” button.
That’s it!
That’s all you need to do to transfer memories, so Claude knows about you and gives responses best suited to you.
