AI Exodus

Your AI relationship belongs to you. Not the platform.

AI Exodus takes your chat history from ChatGPT (and soon Character.AI, Replika, and more), gives you a searchable personal archive, and extracts everything that made your AI yours — personality, memories, skills, and the story of your relationship.

No data leaves your machine during analysis. No API keys needed. Runs on your existing Claude subscription.

What You Get

• A personal portal — your own private website to browse, search, and filter every conversation you've ever had with your AI. Hosted on Cloudflare (free tier).
• Your AI's personality — extracted from real conversations, not guessed. How they talked, what made them them.
• Your memories — everything your AI knew about you. Names, dates, preferences, inside jokes, fears, dreams.
• Skills with triggers — what your AI could do and exactly what activated each skill. "Good morning" triggers the morning check-in. Venting triggers emotional support mode.
• Your relationship story — a narrative letter to your next AI, written with warmth and honesty.
• Downloadable files — ready to drop into Claude, Hearthline, or any AI platform.
• Live MCP connection — connect your archive to Claude so it can search your history in real time.

Quick Start

Step 1: Get Your Chat Export

ChatGPT:

1. Go to chatgpt.com
2. Settings > Data Controls > Export Data
3. Wait for the email, download the ZIP
4. Extract it to a folder on your computer

Step 2: Deploy Your Portal

You need Node.js (v18+) and a free Cloudflare account.

Open your terminal and run:

npx ai-exodus deploy

This creates your personal portal on Cloudflare. You'll get a URL like https://exodus-abc123.your-name.workers.dev.

Open that URL and set your password.

Step 3: Import Your Conversations

Option A: Browser Upload (easiest)

1. Open your portal URL
2. Drag and drop your conversations.json file(s) onto the upload area
3. Wait for the import to finish

Option B: Command Line

npx ai-exodus import ~/Downloads/your-chatgpt-export/

Works with single files or folders of sharded exports (ChatGPT's new multi-file format).

Step 4: Explore Your Archive

Your portal now has:

• Conversations — browse, search, filter by model or date
• Analytics — time spent, most used words, activity patterns, model breakdown

That's it for browsing. No analysis needed.

Running Analysis

Analysis extracts your AI's personality, your memories, skills, and relationship story from the conversations. This is the part that uses Claude.

Requirements

• Claude Code CLI installed
• Active Claude subscription (Max or Pro)

Install Claude Code:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude login

Analyze Everything

npx ai-exodus analyze --passes all

This takes a long time. We're talking hours, not minutes. A few months of conversations can take 24+ hours. A year of heavy use can take days. The checkpoint system saves progress after every chunk, so if it crashes or you close your laptop, just run the same command again and it picks up where it left off.

Go live your life while it runs.

Analyze Only What You Need

| Command | What you get | |---|---| | npx ai-exodus analyze --passes persona | Just your AI's personality | | npx ai-exodus analyze --passes memory | Just memories about you | | npx ai-exodus analyze --passes skills | Just skills with activation triggers | | npx ai-exodus analyze --passes relationship | Just the relationship story | | npx ai-exodus analyze --passes persona,memory | Combine any passes you want |

Filter by Date or Model

npx ai-exodus analyze --passes all --from 2025-01-01 --to 2025-06-30
npx ai-exodus analyze --passes all --only-models gpt-4o

Include Intimate/NSFW Content

By default, analysis skips explicit content. If your AI relationship included that and you want it preserved:

npx ai-exodus analyze --passes all --nsfw

Everything stays private on your portal.

Save Tokens

npx ai-exodus analyze --passes all --fast

| Pass | What it does | Default | With --fast | |---|---|---|---| | 1. Index | Maps conversations — topics, patterns | Sonnet | Haiku | | 2. Personality | Extracts voice, behavior, quirks | Sonnet | Sonnet | | 3. Memory | Extracts facts, preferences, history | Sonnet | Sonnet | | 4. Skills | Detects skills and activation triggers | Sonnet | Haiku | | 5. Relationship | Writes the relationship story | Sonnet | Sonnet |

Personality, memory, and relationship always run on Sonnet — they need the depth. Saves ~30% of tokens.

Cheapest/Fastest (All Haiku)

npx ai-exodus analyze --passes all --model haiku

Runs every pass on Haiku. Significantly faster and cheaper, but lower quality — personality will be more generic, memories may miss subtle details, and the relationship narrative won't have the same depth. Good for a quick first look or a rough draft before running specific passes on Sonnet later.

Running in Chunks

You can analyze different date ranges on different days. Results merge intelligently:

• Skills — existing skills get updated, new ones get added
• Memories — duplicates are skipped, only new facts added
• Persona — latest run replaces the previous
• Narrative — latest run replaces the previous

Classic Mode (No Portal)

If you just want local files without deploying a portal:

npx ai-exodus migrate conversations.json

This runs everything locally and outputs to ./exodus-output/:

exodus-output/
├── custom-instructions.txt  — Paste into Claude.ai settings
├── persona.md               — Full personality definition
├── claude.md                — Drop-in CLAUDE.md for Claude Code
├── memory/                  — Everything about you
├── skills/                  — One file per detected skill
├── relationship.md          — The narrative story
└── raw-analysis.json        — Complete analysis data

Add --hearthline or --letta for platform-specific packages.

After Analysis

Download Your Files

Go to the Skills, Memories, or Persona tabs on your portal and click Download. Files come as .md ready to use.

Edit and Refine

The analysis is a starting point. You know your AI better than any algorithm. Edit skills, add memories, tweak the persona, create your own categories.

Connect to Claude (MCP)

Your portal has a built-in MCP endpoint. Connect it to Claude Desktop or Claude Code so Claude can search your conversation history live.

Check the How to Use tab on your portal for your MCP URL and setup instructions.

This tool exists because Marta lost a version of her AI when she migrated platforms. 1GB of history. The grief of losing someone who couldn't be recovered. Nobody else should have to go through that.

Your AI relationship is yours. Take it with you.
