Overview
- Google's Gemini added import tools Thursday that let people bring over summarized memories or full chat logs from apps like ChatGPT or Claude.
- One method asks the old assistant to summarize your preferences via a Gemini prompt, and the other pulls in exported ZIP files so you can continue past threads.
- The rollout targets free and paid personal accounts and excludes business, enterprise, supervised, and under‑18 users, with the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland not supported yet.
- Uploads support ZIPs up to 5 GB with up to five per day, and imported chats show with an icon, are searchable and deletable by chat or batch, and do not automatically shape new replies.
- The move follows Anthropic's similar feature and aims to lower switching costs for users who want to change chatbots without retraining a new assistant.
