Done in One Click! How to Migrate Your ChatGPT History to Claude or Gemini with Optimized Formatting

"I want to try Claude's long-context capabilities, but I don't want to lose the context of my long-running ChatGPT conversations." "I'm switching to Gemini for its Google integration, but manually copying and pasting my old prompts is a nightmare."

As the AI landscape evolves, many users are exploring powerful alternatives to ChatGPT, such as Anthropic's Claude and Google's Gemini. However, a major hurdle is migrating the valuable context and well-crafted prompts locked within your ChatGPT history.

Simply copying and pasting a chat log often doesn't work well. Different AI models expect different prompt formats to understand who is speaking (user vs. AI) and to maintain the conversation flow correctly.

This article will show you the easiest way to instantly convert and migrate your ChatGPT history into formats optimized for Claude and Gemini using iLoveAI.

The Challenge of Manual Migration

Trying to move a conversation manually is tedious and often ineffective.

  • Loss of Context: If you just paste a block of text, the new AI might not understand which parts were your prompts and which were the previous AI's responses.
  • Formatting Issues: Manually adding "User:" and "AI:" prefixes to every single message in a long thread is incredibly time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Model-Specific Requirements: Claude, for example, works best with a specific Human: and Assistant: prompt structure, which is different from ChatGPT's raw format.

Without proper formatting, the new AI may fail to understand the context, leading to poor responses and wasted effort.

The Solution: One-Click Migration with iLoveAI

iLoveAI (https://ilove-ai.net/) solves this problem with a dedicated "AI Migration" feature. It automatically takes your ChatGPT conversations and reformats them into the optimal structure for your target AI model.

Here is how to do it in three simple steps.

Step 1: Load Your History into iLoveAI

First, export your data from ChatGPT and drag and drop the conversations.json file into iLoveAI. (For details, see How to View Your ChatGPT History).

Step 2: Select the Conversations to Migrate

In the iLoveAI sidebar, you will see a list of all your chat threads.

  1. Check the boxes next to the conversations you want to migrate. You can select one, several, or all of them.
  2. Click the "Export Selected Threads" button that appears at the bottom of the sidebar.

Step 3: Choose Your Target AI Format

A modal window will appear, asking you to choose the export format. This is where the magic happens.

  • For Claude: Select the "Copy for Claude (Human:/Assistant:)" option. iLoveAI will automatically format the entire selected history using the \n\nHuman: and \n\nAssistant: structure that Claude expects for optimal context understanding.
  • For Gemini: Select the "Copy for Gemini (User:/Model:)" option. The history will be formatted with clear User: and Model: labels suitable for Gemini's prompt box.

Click the button for your desired format. The entire formatted conversation history is instantly copied to your clipboard.

Step 4: Paste into Claude or Gemini

Now, simply go to the Claude or Gemini chat interface and paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) the content into the message box.

The new AI will immediately understand the full context of the pasted conversation and be ready to continue right where you left off in ChatGPT.


Stop wasting time on manual formatting. Make your transition to new AI tools seamless and efficient with iLoveAI's one-click migration feature.
