Exporting AI Agent Memories Using Claude's Import Function

Memory Export Prompt for AI Agents

A user on r/openclaw shared a method for exporting stored memories from AI agents like ChatGPT and Claude and importing them into OpenClaw. The approach uses Claude's import function as a starting point.

Key Details

The source provides a specific prompt to use with AI agents to extract stored memories. The prompt requests:

• All memories stored about the user
• Any context learned from past conversations
• Output in a single code block for easy copying

The format specified is: [date saved, if available] - memory content

The prompt explicitly requests coverage of:

• Instructions about response tone, format, style, 'always do X', 'never do Y'
• Personal details: name, location, job, family, interests
• Projects, goals, and recurring topics
• Tools, languages, and frameworks used
• Preferences and corrections made to the agent's behavior
• Any other stored context not covered above

The prompt emphasizes: "preserve my words verbatim where possible" and "Do not summarize, group, or omit any entries."

After the code block, the agent should confirm whether that is the complete set or if any memories remain.

The user mentions finding this function "under capabilities in Claude" and using it to export memories from both ChatGPT and Claude, then pasting them into their OpenClaw bot.
