Export your AI history

Each assistant lets you download your full history. Request the export, wait for the email, and drop the file into the free audit. Uploads are audited locally in your browser for $0: nothing is sent until you choose to build your vault.

No export yet? Start with Tell Context OS about you in 30 seconds on the Start page, and merge the full history later.

ChatGPT

1. Open ChatGPT and click your profile, then Settings.
2. Go to Data controls.
3. Click Export next to Export data, then confirm the export.
4. Open the email from OpenAI and download the ZIP before the link expires.
5. Drop the ZIP into the audit — no need to unzip it.

What to upload: the ZIP archive. It contains conversations.json, which holds every chat. The email usually arrives within minutes, but large accounts can take longer.

Your custom instructions, the saved memories found in the export and canvas documents are imported too, as dated documents. If your memory is missing, copy it from Settings → Personalization → Memory and paste it into the quick start.

Claude

1. Open claude.ai and click your initials, then Settings.
2. Go to Privacy.
3. Click Export data and confirm.
4. Open the email from Anthropic and download the archive.
5. Drop the ZIP into the audit as it is.

What to upload: the ZIP archive with conversations.json (and projects.json, if you use projects: each project's description, instructions and knowledge files are imported too). Delivery time depends on how much history you have.

Gemini

1. Open takeout.google.com while signed in to the account you use with Gemini.
2. Click Deselect all, then select only My Activity.
3. Click All activity data included and keep only Gemini Apps.
4. Choose Next step, keep the .zip format, and click Create export.
5. Download the archive from the email and drop it into the audit.

What to upload: the Takeout ZIP. Gemini activity is stored under My Activity › Gemini Apps. Takeout works in any language your Google account uses. Google Takeout can take from minutes to a few hours.

Grok

Request your data from Grok's settings on grok.com and download the archive from the email, or download your X archive (Settings and privacy → Your account → Download an archive of your data), which includes your Grok chats. Drop the ZIP into the audit as it is.

Documents

PDF, Word, CSV, Markdown and Notion exports work too: drop them into the audit next to your chat exports, in any language.

Good to know

• Upload export ZIPs as they are, even if you compressed them again on a Mac: one archive inside another is read, and Mac system files are ignored.
• A damaged file inside an archive is skipped and named in the audit; everything else is still imported.
• Each message keeps its date, so what you said most recently wins, even inside an old conversation.
