Turn Copilot into a Perplexity-ready knowledge base
Copilot needs a more manual export flow, so AIMover organizes the context you provide into something reusable. 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.
Copilot export path
Workaround route, .md / .txt input, typically ~5 min.
Perplexity setup path
Manual setup with knowledge files for Spaces. Estimated setup time: about 20 minutes.
What to expect
Once you upload your Copilot data, AIMover prepares the kit and helps you complete manual setup with knowledge files for spaces.
What you get
A migration kit built for this move, not a generic export dump.
Perplexity-ready conversation assets rebuilt from your Copilot export
A memory summary and instruction block tuned for Perplexity
A setup guide that reflects manual setup with knowledge files for spaces
An export package you can review before you apply anything to the destination model
