A simple step-by-step guide. No tech skills needed. Just follow the steps in order.
What You Are About to Do
You are moving your AI brain from one house (ChatGPT) to a new house (Claude). You want to take your important stuff with you. That means:
- Your memories (the things ChatGPT remembers about you)
- Your custom instructions (how you told ChatGPT to talk to you)
- Your chat history (old conversations you want to keep)
- Your Custom GPTs (special bots you built)
This guide shows you how to pack each one up and bring it to Claude.
Before You Start
You will need:
- Your ChatGPT account (signed in)
- A Claude account (sign up free at claude.ai if you have not yet)
- A notes app like Google Docs, Notion, or even the Notes app on your phone
- About 30 minutes
That is it. No coding. No downloads needed for the main steps.
Step 1: Grab Your ChatGPT Memories
This is the most important step. Your memories are the things ChatGPT learned about you over time.
