By skyforbes Moving your history has never been possible before. Having to start over is horrible. Not having a truly reloadable backup of your work or AI friend is rough. Data portability is our right, and we shouldn't have to start over.
ChatGPT and Claude's export give you a JSON file that is bloated with code and far too large to actually use with another AI.
We built Memory Chip Forge (https://pgsgrove.com/memoryforgeland) to handle this conversion. You can now fully transfer your ENTIRE conversation history to another AI service, and back again. It also works as a reloadable storage for all your memories, if you just really want a loadable backup.
Drop in a backup and file (easily requested in CGPT from OpenAI) and get back a small memory file that can be loaded in ANY chat, with any AI that allows uploads.
How it works and what it does:
- Strips the JSON soup and formatting bloat
- Filters out empty conversations that clutter your backup
- Builds a vector-ready index/table of contents so Gemini or any other AI can use it as active memory (not just a text dump)
- Includes system instructions that tell Gemini, or any other AI, how to load your context and continue right where ChatGPT left off
- Loads the full memory, context and chat data from your ChatGPT (or claude) backup file into just about any AI.
Privacy was our #1 design principle: Everything processes locally in your browser. You can verify this yourself:
- Press F12 → Network tab
- Run the conversion
- Check the Network tab and see that there are no file uploads, zero server communication.
- The file converter loads fully in your browser, and keeps your chat history on your computer.
We don't see your data. We can't see your data. The architecture prevents it.
It's a $3.95/month subscription, and you can easily cancel. Feel free to make a bunch of memory files and cancel if you don't need the tool long term. I'm here if anyone has questions about how the process works or wants to know more about the privacy architecture or how it works.
