Gemini introduces tools to import AI chat history

New Gemini features enable transfer of preferences and chat archives, allowing users to continue conversations without rebuilding profiles.

Google launches tools that let users import memories and chat history into Gemini, making it easier to switch AI assistants without losing personal data.

Google has introduced new tools that allow users to transfer their memories, preferences, and chat history from other AI platforms directly into Gemini. The update aims to ease switching and deliver a more personalised experience from the start.

A new memory import feature lets users copy key details from another AI app and upload them to Gemini. Once transferred, the system recognises personal context, enabling more accurate responses without having to start from scratch.

In addition, users can now upload full chat histories via ZIP files, enabling access to past conversations within Gemini. The platform can integrate exchanges with services like Gmail, Photos and Search, with permission, to deliver more relevant responses.

Google confirmed that the rollout has begun and will appear in user settings, alongside a rebranding of ‘past chats’ to ‘memory’. The update reflects a broader push towards more adaptive and context-aware AI assistants.
