ChatGPT Import
What it does
Imports your conversation history from ChatGPT into Vellum so your assistant can learn from your past interactions.
Setup required
Export your data from ChatGPT (Settings > Data controls > Export data). You'll receive a ZIP file.
Permissions
- File access to read the exported ZIP archive
Common prompts
| You say... | What happens |
|---|---|
| “Import my ChatGPT history” | Starts the import process |
| “I have a ChatGPT export ZIP file, can you import it?” | Processes the export |
Configuration
- Imports user and assistant messages with original timestamps preserved
- Deduplicates on re-import (safe to run multiple times)
- Imported conversations are auto-indexed for memory search
Tips & gotchas
- Timestamps preserved. Your assistant understands the chronological context of imported conversations.
- Safe to re-import. Deduplication means you can re-import without creating duplicates.
- Memory indexing. After import, facts and preferences from your ChatGPT history become searchable via the memory system.
- Selective import. Only user and assistant messages are imported — system prompts and metadata are skipped.
