Anthropic now lets users import AI memory from ChatGPT to Claude

Anthropic has introduced a feature allowing users to import stored “memories” from other AI chatbots into its Claude platform, enabling conversations to resume with prior context and preferences intact.
The San Francisco-based company said users can transfer context from other AI providers with a single copy-and-paste action.
“You’ve spent months teaching another AI how you work. That context shouldn’t disappear because you want to try something new. Claude can import what matters, so your first conversation feels like your hundredth,” the company said.
It added that memory is available on all paid plans.
The import capability is currently limited to Claude Pro subscribers, who pay between 17 and 20 dollars per month. The announcement was made through the official Claude account on Threads on March 1.
The move comes amid criticism of rival OpenAI over its partnership with the US government. Last week, the US Department of Defense cancelled a deal with Anthropic after the company refused to compromise on what it described as two non-negotiable red lines for military use of Claude, namely no mass domestic surveillance and no fully autonomous weapons.
US President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using Anthropic’s AI models, citing national security concerns.
On the same day, OpenAI announced a partnership with the US Defense Department, outlining its own red lines, including restrictions on mass domestic surveillance and direct autonomous weapons systems.
To import memory into Claude, users must first paste a specific export prompt into another AI chatbot to retrieve stored data in a single code block. They then copy the results and paste them into Claude’s memory settings.
