Google is adding a pair of new features to Gemini aimed at making it easier to switch to the AI chatbot. Personal history and past context are big components to how a chatbot provides customized answers to each user. Gemini now supports importing history from other AI platforms. Both free and paid consumer accounts can use these options.

With the first option, Gemini can create a prompt asking a competitor’s AI chatbot to summarize what it has learned about you. The result might include details such as your typical written communication style, your family members’ names or your key preferences. The other AI tool’s summary can then be pasted into Gemini, providing Google’s platform with a preliminary profile.

The second option allows users to import their entire chat history with a different AI assistant into Gemini. Doing so allows people to reference earlier conversations or requests made on a different platform after migrating to the Google option.

Anthropic recently introduced a similar memory import feature, so Google may also be hoping to scoop up some of the people who are dropping OpenAI following its shady-sounding new arrangement with the Department of War. Whatever the motivation, these options should make it easier to have a seamless transition between providers.
