New Memory Import Tool for Claude
Anthropic is leveraging Claude’s recent surge in popularity with a new memory import tool aimed at encouraging users to switch from competing AI chatbot systems.
Claude’s memory feature is now available to free‑tier users for the first time, following its launch last summer.
“Memory is now available on the free plan,” Anthropic announced. “We’ve also made it easier to import saved memories into Claude. You can export them whenever you want.”
How the Import Tool Works
The tool is essentially a prompt that you copy and paste into another AI chatbot. After generating the export, you paste the results into Claude’s memory settings.
Prompt Provided by Anthropic
I’m moving to another service and need to export my data. List every memory you have stored about me, as well as any context you’ve learned about me from past conversations. Output everything in a single code block so I can easily copy it.
Format each entry as: [date saved, if available] – memory content.
Make sure to cover all of the following — preserve my words verbatim where possible:
- Instructions I’ve given you about how to respond (tone, format, style, ‘always do X’, ‘never do Y’).
- Personal details: name, location, job, family, interests.
- Projects, goals, and recurring topics.
- Tools, languages, and frameworks I use.
- Preferences and corrections I’ve made to your behavior.
- Any other stored context not covered above. Do not summarize, group, or omit any entries.
After the code block, confirm whether that is the complete set or if any remain.This prompt can be used to transfer data between any AI chatbot that supports custom instructions and memory features, such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini.
