I have personally had to start entirely over at least 10 times over the course of my research, and it just sucks.
It seems like we get a new model, or a better setup from one platform or another every 2 months. But starting fresh every time you switch platforms is brutal. All that context you built, the way your previous AI understood your projects, your communication style, your ongoing work, gone.
I kept wishing there was a way to just… bring it with me.
Turns out there is now. We built Memory Chip Forge (https://pgsgrove.com/memoryforgeland) to make this possible. Because data freedom, ownership and portability are our legal and ethical rights.
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, Claude, or any other AI how to load your context and continue right where you 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.
