You can now easily import your personal context, preferences and full chat history from other AI apps directly into Gemini. To bring over your memories, simply select the import option in Settings, paste the suggested prompt into your other AI app and copy its generated summary back into Gemini.

By bringing over your key facts and past conversation threads, you can pick up straight where you left off and continue building on your ideas right inside Gemini.
