Import your entire ChatGPT history in under a minute
Export your ChatGPT data, import it into Kontinue, and start using your chat history in under a minute while the rest syncs in the background.

Your ChatGPT history holds a lot of valuable context.
Ideas you explored.
Projects you worked on.
Prompts you improved.
Research you started.
Conversations you may want to continue later.
But on most platforms, importing that kind of data can feel slow and stressful. You export your data, upload it somewhere else, and then wait while everything processes.
Kontinue AI is built differently.
With Kontinue, importing your ChatGPT history is simple. After exporting your data from ChatGPT, you go to your Kontinue AI settings, open the memory section, and upload the downloaded data.
In under a minute, you can start using your imported history.
The reason this works is because Kontinue does not wait for everything to finish before making your workspace useful.
Instead of importing your entire history all at once, Kontinue breaks the process down intelligently. We prioritize the conversations and context that are most important first, so you can begin working quickly while the rest continues importing in the background.
That means you do not have to sit around waiting for your entire archive to finish processing before Kontinue becomes useful.
You can import.
Start working.
And let Kontinue handle the rest.
This matters because your old chats are not just old messages. They are context.
They help Kontinue understand what you have worked on, what matters to you, and where you may want to continue from.
So whether you are bringing in past research, project ideas, coding conversations, business plans, or personal workflows, Kontinue helps you turn your ChatGPT history into a living workspace again.
No manual copying.
No starting from zero.
No waiting forever for your old chats to become useful.
Just export your ChatGPT data, upload it into Kontinue, and continue from where you left off.
