Google is reportedly testing a new “Import AI chats” feature for Gemini to make switching from other chatbots like ChatGPT seamless. The feature would allow users to transfer their entire chat history to Gemini, ensuring ongoing projects, context, and preferences aren’t lost during the move. This could significantly lower the friction for users considering a shift to Google’s AI platform.

Ecosystem lock-ins have long frustrated users, whether it’s moving between Android and iOS, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, or gaming consoles. With AI chatbots, the problem could be even bigger, as these tools rely heavily on past conversations to build context and memory. Long-term use leads to deep personalisation, which is difficult to recreate when switching to a new chatbot from scratch.

This creates a strong ecosystem lock-in, something Google reportedly wants to avoid becoming a barrier for Gemini adoption. According to a TestingCatalog report, the company is developing an “Import AI chats” feature to help users migrate from rival AI platforms. The feature was spotted as a beta option in Gemini’s web client, suggesting it is close to being publicly released.

The report claims the option appears under the attachments icon at the bottom of the chat box. Selecting it opens a pop-up with instructions for importing chat histories from platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok. Users reportedly need to download their chat data from the original service and then upload the file into Gemini, making the process relatively straightforward.
However, several aspects of the feature remain unclear. It is uncertain whether Gemini can fully absorb user preferences and context without errors, especially if imported data conflicts with existing settings. Questions also remain around how memory will function after the transfer, so the feature should be viewed cautiously until Google makes an official announcement.
