Can You Move ChatGPT Memory to Another AI Agent?

David Pawlan says you can move ChatGPT memory to another AI agent. People stay with ChatGPT because they have used it the longest, so it holds the most context on them. Friction is what makes a switch hard.

He tested the top 15 agents on his benchmark and asked each one for a full memory file so the move would be easy. All but one were willing. The file can be handed to the next agent, and the export was pretty solid. He is sure the agents hold back some of what they know, but the file still broke the memory down.

Anish Acharya finds the Markdown files unsettling. Terrifying is the wrong word, but the agent has a finger on you, and it chafes to be known that well. David Pawlan stopped reading after the first few files. A common onboarding step now tells a new user to paste a prompt into ChatGPT, download the file, and upload it to the new agent.
