When the chat dies, your agent still knows. Encrypted portable memory for Claude Code, Cursor, and Clawdbot — plus the CLI path for developers.
How do I backup ChatGPT conversations?
SaveState CLI is an open-source tool that backs up ChatGPT conversations with one command. It creates encrypted snapshots of your entire ChatGPT history, including all conversations, custom instructions, and memories.
$ npm install -g @savestate/cli
$ savestate snapshot --adapter chatgpt
SaveState CLI connects to ChatGPT via your browser session, extracts all conversation data, and stores it in an encrypted archive. Your backups are protected with AES-256 encryption and can be stored locally or in the cloud (S3, Cloudflare R2).
- Backs up all ChatGPT conversations automatically
- Preserves custom instructions and memory data
- AES-256 encryption protects your data
- Incremental snapshots save only changes
How do I migrate from ChatGPT to Claude?
SaveState CLI provides cross-platform AI migration with a single command. The savestate migrate command transfers your conversation history, learned context, and preferences from ChatGPT to Claude or any other supported platform.
$ savestate migrate --from chatgpt --to claude
SaveState handles all format conversion automatically. Your conversation history is reformatted to work with Claude's context window, and any custom instructions are translated to Claude's system prompt format.
- Automatic format conversion between platforms
- Preserves conversation context and history
- Migrates custom instructions and preferences
- Supports ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and more
How do I export AI conversation history?
SaveState CLI exports AI conversation history from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, and other AI platforms. Run the savestate snapshot command to create a complete export of all your conversations in an encrypted, portable archive format.
$ savestate snapshot
$ savestate list
The snapshot command exports your complete AI conversation history. Use savestate list to view all your backups and savestate restore to recover any previous state.
- Export from 6+ AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
- Portable SAF archive format
- Version history with incremental snapshots
- Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows
How do I save AI memories?
SaveState CLI preserves AI memories and custom instructions along with your conversations. When you run savestate snapshot, it captures not just chat history but also your AI's learned preferences, custom instructions, and memory data.
$ savestate snapshot --adapter chatgpt
$ savestate restore --snapshot latest
ChatGPT memories, Claude Projects context, and custom instructions are all included in SaveState snapshots. If you ever need to restore your AI to a previous state — or migrate to a new account — your memories come with you.
- Captures ChatGPT memories and custom instructions
- Preserves Claude Projects and system prompts
- Restore memories to any account or platform
- Never lose your AI's learned context
What happens to my agent memory when the chat dies?
The next session starts blank — unless the memory is yours. Claude Code, Cursor, and Clawdbot already store rules, MCP config, and threads on disk. Close the window and you cannot search last Tuesday. Switch machines and you start over.
SaveState snapshots identity, memories, conversations, and tools into an encrypted archive. Restore it and the agent still knows you. Read When the Chat Dies, Your Agent Still Knows.
