Turn ChatGPT into a Perplexity-ready knowledge base
ChatGPT's official export gives us the broadest possible picture of your history. AIMover converts that export into knowledge files, summaries, and a manual setup guide for Spaces for Perplexity, then walks you through the exact next step because Perplexity relies on manual setup with knowledge files for spaces.
ChatGPT export path
Full Export route, .zip input, typically ~3 min.
Perplexity setup path
Manual setup with knowledge files for Spaces. Estimated setup time: about 20 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 knowledge files for spaces.
What you get

Perplexity-ready conversation assets rebuilt from your ChatGPT export
A memory summary and instruction block tuned for Perplexity
A setup guide that reflects manual setup with knowledge files for spaces
