Google has just announced a new feature for AI assistant Gemini, allowing users to transfer data and chat history from other chatbots.
This move is seen as a step to increase attractiveness in the increasingly fierce competition between artificial intelligence platforms.
Accordingly, Google introduces conversion tools to help users carry all personal information and chat content from before, instead of having to start over when switching to Gemini.
These data include preferences, personal backgrounds, relationships and other important details that users have previously shared with chatbots.
The focus of the feature lies in the concept of "memory", which is information that helps AI better understand users.
Google said that when entering these data into Gemini, the system can quickly capture important factors such as personal preferences, relative names or places of birth, thereby providing more appropriate feedback.
The data transfer process is designed to be quite simple. Gemini will suggest a command for users to enter into the current chatbot.
That chatbot will create feedback containing relevant information, then users just need to copy and paste it into Gemini. This method helps the conversion process take place quickly without requiring complicated operations.
In addition to personal data, Google also allows entering the entire chat history. Users can download the chat log from the old platform as a compressed file (zip), which is a popular format today, and then upload it to Gemini.
After entering, these conversations can be searched and continued to be used immediately in the new system.
According to Google, this feature helps users continue smoothly from where they stopped, avoiding losing information or having to rebuild the history of interaction with AI from scratch.
This is considered a notable improvement in the context that users are increasingly dependent on chatbots for work and personal life.
The above move takes place when the AI market is entering a period of strong competition, with many companies continuously upgrading products to retain and attract users.
Allowing data transfer between platforms can become an important factor, helping to reduce barriers when users want to try out or switch to new services.
According to data from Alphabet (Google's parent company), Gemini currently has more than 750 million active monthly users, a figure showing the rapid development of this platform in the global AI ecosystem.
