Move ChatGPT context to DeepSeek without starting from zero
ChatGPT's official export gives us the broadest possible picture of your history. AIMover converts that export into document-ready files, summaries, and setup prompts for DeepSeek, then walks you through the exact next step because DeepSeek relies on manual setup with document upload or context seeds.
ChatGPT export path
Full Export route, .zip input, typically ~3 min.
DeepSeek setup path
Manual setup with document upload or context seeds. Estimated setup time: about 10 minutes.
What to expect
Your ChatGPT export may arrive by email first. Once you have it, AIMover prepares the kit and helps you finish manual setup with document upload or context seeds.

DeepSeek-ready conversation assets rebuilt from your ChatGPT export
A memory summary and instruction block tuned for DeepSeek
