Move what ChatGPT knows about you to Claude
You spent months teaching ChatGPT who you are. When you switch to Claude, that context should come with you. MemoryRouter lets you transfer ChatGPT memory to Claude in about two minutes: copy one prompt, approve what moves, and Claude picks up where you left off.
Under the hood you are not copying memory into another walled garden. You import your ChatGPT memory into a vault you own, then connect Claude, Cowork, and your coding agents to the same cross-AI memory.
Can you transfer ChatGPT memory to Claude?
Yes, two ways. Claude's built-in import: paste an export prompt into ChatGPT, copy the answer, and paste it into Claude under Settings, Memory. It is free, available on Free, Pro, Max and Team plans on web and desktop, and the memory then lives inside Claude. MemoryRouter: the same two-minute copy and approve, but the memory goes into a vault you own that Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor all read. Pick Claude's import if Claude is the only AI you will use. Pick MemoryRouter if you will keep using more than one.

How to transfer ChatGPT memory to Claude
Copy one prompt into ChatGPT
MemoryRouter gives you a single prompt. Paste it into ChatGPT and it returns everything it knows about you: your role, projects, preferences, and history.
Review and approve what transfers
You see exactly what ChatGPT hands back and approve line by line. Nothing saves to your vault until you have reviewed it. No surprises, no all-or-nothing dump.
Open Claude and pick up where you left off
Connect Claude to the same vault and your context is already there. No blank page, no re-explaining who you are or what you are building.

Transfer now, or import your full history
There are two ways to bring your ChatGPT memory across. Most people start with the Basic transfer, then run the Advanced import later if they want their full conversation history.
Basic transfer (about 2 minutes)
The fastest path. One prompt in ChatGPT returns a current summary of what it knows about you, you approve it, and it lands in your vault ready for Claude. Best when you want your working context moved right now.
Read the Basic transfer walkthroughAdvanced import (full history)
Reads your official ChatGPT data export, rebuilds the conversation graph, and lets you preview and approve exactly what imports before anything saves. Best when you want years of history, not just the current summary.

Your memory is yours, not a vendor’s
ChatGPT memory lives inside ChatGPT. Move to Claude and it stays behind. MemoryRouter puts that context in a vault you own so it travels across every AI you use.
One context, every assistant
Once your ChatGPT memory is in MemoryRouter, the same cross-AI memory is available in Claude, Cowork, Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw. Teach it once, use it everywhere.
You stay in control
You approve everything before it saves. Your vault is encrypted at rest and in transit, isolated to your account, never shared or trained on, and you can delete it anytime.
After the transfer: use one memory everywhere
Moving ChatGPT’s context to Claude is the first step. The same vault connects to the rest of your stack, so your persistent AI memory follows you across tools instead of starting over each time.
Connect Claude and Cowork
Add the MemoryRouter connector so Claude and Cowork read from the same personal memory you just transferred.
Keep using ChatGPT too
MemoryRouter is not a breakup with ChatGPT. Add it as a connector so ChatGPT keeps writing to the same shared vault.
Give your coding agents memory
Claude Code and Codex get automatic hook-based memory, so a fresh coding session starts with your project already loaded.
