Originally created by @furllmm on GitHub (Dec 8, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4737

What would you like to see?

I want AnythingLLM Desktop to support importing external chat histories and to store chats inside the local SQLite database (threads + messages tables). This allows importing ChatGPT conversation exports directly into AnythingLLM as real chat threads.

Is it even possible to export chats from ChatGPT or Gemini? Last time we ever investigated such a function that did not exist. I just checked Gemini and I cannot export a thread.

@timothycarambat it's possible to reopen this ticket again? It'd be really good to have this feature as it allows much better migration from ChatGPT

yeah, I'd really love to bring my chats verbatim with me from claude (allows export via settings, not sure what the format is), typingmind (json export), and openai (json export)

I looked to see if the anythingllm api enabled injecting chat histories, but nope, only allowing posting new chat prompts

perhaps the database could be modified directly via an external tool while anythingllm is not running

Thanks for the suggestion! Importing chats from other platforms is
something we can definitely explore.

I've used github copilot to write a script that injects my typingmind chats into the sqlite database, and it works more or less, but got rate limited. I'll post back once I have something more concrete.

Update: got it working. Now updating the script to import chatgpt as well.

I imagine claude will be more difficult due to claude having artifacts.

TypingMind imports finished. However OpenAI have a significant delay for their data exports… will be a several days apparently until the export is done. I'm going to work on the claude import now.
