@remnic/import-chatgpt

Import memory from ChatGPT data exports into Remnic.

This is an optional companion package for @remnic/cli. Install it when you want remnic import --adapter chatgpt to work.

Install

npm install -g @remnic/cli @remnic/import-chatgpt

Usage

# Dry-run: preview what would be imported without writing.
remnic import --adapter chatgpt --file ./chatgpt-export/memory.json --dry-run

# Actual import.
remnic import --adapter chatgpt --file ./chatgpt-export/memory.json

# Also import a conversation summary per chat (default: off).
remnic import --adapter chatgpt --file ./chatgpt-export/conversations.json \
  --include-conversations

What gets imported

• Saved memories (the "Memory" feature inside ChatGPT) — 1:1 mapping. Every entry becomes one Remnic memory with sourceLabel: "chatgpt" and full provenance (file path, timestamp, and the original memory id).
• Conversation summaries — only when --include-conversations is set. Each conversation is reduced to a single memory consisting of the user-side turns concatenated (assistant replies are not imported).

Export shape support

Accepts all three shapes seen in ChatGPT exports from 2024-2026:

• { "memory": [...] } (2026 shape)
• { "memories": [...] } (2024/2025 shape)
• Top-level array of memory records (legacy)
• conversations.json (mapping or inline-messages form)

Privacy

This package only reads the export file you point at. No network calls are made. The CLI writes to your Remnic memory store per your local config.
