Home / Features / Import Past Chats
Don't start over. Bring it all with you.
GearHead imports your full chat history from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek. Converts them into structured memories. The relationships, preferences, and projects you built up in another AI come with you, immediately useful.
Most platforms make you start from zero. Every preference, every client detail, every project context, re-learned from scratch every time you switch tools. GearHead reads exported chat histories from your other AIs and converts them into structured business memory. Entity graph populated. Preferences captured. Context preserved. You arrive with years of relationship data already in place.
What it does for you
What gets imported and how it becomes useful immediately.
Four sources supported
Direct import from ChatGPT (Plus/Pro/Team), Claude (Pro/Max/Team), Gemini, and DeepSeek. Standard exports, paste your data file, GearHead handles the parsing.
Structured memory extraction
Not just a transcript dump. GearHead extracts entities (clients, projects, companies), relationships, preferences, decisions, and facts. Populates the entity graph and semantic vectors immediately.
Source attribution preserved
Every imported memory tagged with its source, "imported:chatgpt", "imported:claude", etc. You can see where any piece of context originated. Filter or audit by source anytime.
Re-importable
Switch later, change your mind, want to update? Re-import anytime. Deduplication handles overlapping content. New memories added, existing ones refreshed where source content was updated.
Filter what to import
Don't want to import every personal chat? Filter by date range, by content, or by topic. Bring only what's relevant, leave the random "what should I have for dinner" chats behind.
Editable + revocable
Once imported, every memory is editable, viewable, and deletable. Want to remove a specific imported memory? Click delete. Want to wipe everything from a source? One bulk action.
