Migrate from ChatGPT
One ZIP upload brings your whole conversation history: branches, tool calls, and images included.
How to migrate
- 1
Export your ChatGPT data
In ChatGPT: Settings → Data controls → Export data. OpenAI emails you a ZIP download link (it expires after 24 hours).
- 2
Upload the ZIP in idapt
Settings → Import → ChatGPT. The import streams progress live: conversations first, then binary attachments.
Open the importer - 3
Keep chatting where you left off
Imported chats are continuable: open any of them and the reply picks up with your default agent, on any of 200+ models.
What moves
