Claude Now Lets You Import AI Memory from Competitors in Under a Minute

Claude Introduces AI Memory Import

Anthropic has launched Claude Memory Import, a feature that allows users to transfer their accumulated preferences and context from other AI services — including ChatGPT — to Claude in under a minute.

How It Works

The process is deliberately simple:

Copy a prompt: Paste a Claude-provided prompt into your existing AI chat to extract your preferences and context in a single conversation

Paste into Claude: Drop the results into Claude's memory settings — Claude automatically updates its memory

The entire process takes under a minute and preserves months of accumulated context.

Availability

The feature is available across all Claude paid plans (Pro, Team, and Enterprise).

Strategic Significance

This feature directly lowers the switching cost from competing AI services. It arrives at a particularly significant moment: following OpenAI's deal with the U.S. Department of Defense, a wave of users are publicly canceling ChatGPT subscriptions and moving to Claude. The memory import feature removes a key friction point in that transition. The Hacker News post scored 396 points, reflecting strong community interest in the capability.
