Move GLM context to ChatGPT without starting from zero
GLM's official export gives us the broadest possible picture of your history. AIMover converts that export into a memory summary, instruction block, and destination-ready conversation kit for ChatGPT, then walks you through the exact next step because ChatGPT relies on manual setup with migration kit.
GLM export path
Full Export route, .json input, typically ~3 min.
ChatGPT setup path
Manual setup with migration kit. Estimated setup time: about 10 minutes.
What to expect
Once you upload your GLM data, AIMover prepares the kit and helps you complete manual setup with migration kit.

ChatGPT-ready conversation assets rebuilt from your GLM export
