Google has unveiled new tools within Gemini aimed at streamlining the transition for users considering switching AI chatbots without the hassle of retraining a new AI from scratch. The latest features, ‘Import Memory’ and ‘Import Chat History,’ empower users to efficiently transfer their existing AI’s knowledge base to Gemini using predefined prompts.
With the ‘Import Memory’ tool, users can seamlessly migrate their preferences by inserting a suggested prompt from Gemini into their current AI and then transferring the output back to Gemini. Meanwhile, the ‘Import Chat History’ function enables users to export their chat data from the previous AI in a .zip file format and seamlessly resume conversations in Gemini.
Furthermore, Google is rebranding ‘past chats’ within Gemini as ‘memory.’ While ‘Import Memory’ and ‘Import Chat History’ are progressively rolling out to both free and premium Gemini accounts, availability may vary across platforms initially. Notably, these features are currently inaccessible to users with business, enterprise, or under-18 accounts.
Recently, Anthropic updated its tool for migrating another AI’s memory to Claude, following a similar approach of prompt-based data transfer. Concurrently, Google has broadened access to its Search Live AI feature and introduced the Gemini 3.1 Flash Live voice model, promising more natural conversations and quicker responses.
