Export Your LLM Context
to a New Platform

A prompt for asking your old AI to summarize everything it knows about you — so the new one can pick up where it left off.

~1,200 words By Meghan Race Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini

Use this prompt in whichever AI assistant you've been using the most — the one that knows you best from your conversation history. It will generate portable files you can use to set up a new AI account with full context about you.


CopyThe prompt

I want you to summarize everything you know about me from our conversation history — my work, my background, my strengths, my projects, and how I communicate. Use this to create three things:

1. A comprehensive context document (Markdown file)

Write a detailed "About Me" document that I can share with a new AI assistant (or a person) to give them full context on who I am and what I do. Structure it with the following sections. Be thorough — pull from everything we've worked on together:

2. User preferences for a new AI account

Write a concise block of text (under 1,500 characters if possible) that I can paste into a new AI assistant's "User Preferences" or "Custom Instructions" settings. This should cover:

Make it direct and functional — this is always-on background context, not a full bio. Write it in first person from my perspective as instructions to the AI.

3. Save everything you know to your memory/preferences

Before generating the files, save the key facts about me to your memory system (if you have one) so they persist in future conversations on this platform too.

WhyWhy I wrote this

I switched from ChatGPT to Claude for personal use last year, and I didn't want to start over. The model already knew which projects I was working on, what tone I liked in my emails, which family members were which, and a hundred small things that would have taken months to re-teach.

Rather than copy-paste fragments of chat history, I asked the old AI to introduce me to the new one. The prompt above is what I refined to get a high-quality, structured, portable bundle: one context doc, one custom-instructions block, and a memory write-back so the old AI still works well too.

I've now shared it with a handful of friends making the same migration. Most have come back with versions of "this saved me weeks." Putting it here so anyone can use it.
