Import ChatGPT conversation history into Vellum so users can keep their conversation context and memory when switching from ChatGPT. ## How to guide the user When a user wants to import their ChatGPT conversations: 1. **Tell the user how to export.** They need to go to ChatGPT Settings > Data controls > Export data. ChatGPT will email them a ZIP file. 2. **Ask the user to upload the ZIP file.** Use whatever file upload tools or skills are available to receive the ZIP. 3. **Run the import.** Once you have the ZIP file path, run: ```bash bun run scripts/parse-export.ts --file "$ZIP_PATH" | assistant conversations import --json ``` The `parse-export.ts` script parses the ChatGPT ZIP and converts it to the standard import format. The `assistant conversations import` command reads the JSON from stdin and creates the conversations. The command returns JSON: ```json { "ok": true, "imported": 12, "skipped": 0, "messages": 347 } ``` Report the results — how many conversations and messages were imported, and any skipped duplicates. ## Notes - Only ZIP files are accepted (the full export archive from ChatGPT). - Conversations are deduplicated — re-importing the same file will skip already-imported conversations. - Only user and assistant messages are imported (system prompts and tool calls are filtered out). - Original timestamps from ChatGPT are preserved. - Imported conversations are automatically indexed for memory search.
