Summary
- Gemini will let you import chats from ChatGPT and other rivals, so you don’t have to start conversations from zero.
- Imported chats help Gemini learn your context and resume talks, but Gemini still randomly erases chat history.
- Other upcoming features include a Likeness setting and downloadable Nano Banana Pro images at 2K and 4K.
It’s fair to say that Google Gemini had a rocky start when it first launched, but that didn’t stop the Mountain View tech giant from continuing to improve its AI chat service to compete against its rivals. Last month was no different, as Google Gemini added several new features, which were especially aimed at students and creators.
In addition to these new features, there are more in the pipeline that Google is quietly working on. One of them is making it easier for users to switch to Gemini from other AI chat services. And the way the company is doing it is both smart and quite obvious, though it hasn’t made anything official yet.

It’ll always be available, but only if you want.
Google is reportedly working on a new feature to make switching to Gemini easier
A simple fix for a familiar Gemini problem is on the way
According to famed leaker @testingcatalog, Google is currently working on a new Gemini feature to allow users to import AI chats from ChatGPT and any other rival services. If Google indeed manages to roll this out, it may significantly improve Gemini’s adoption rate, because in that case, users won’t have to start from zero.
Those previous conversations on other AI chat services will help Gemini models learn about you from day one and give responses accordingly. It also means that Gemini will allow you to resume the conversation from an imported chat on Gemini. These imported chats will be saved in your Activity, but this is something you’ll be able to delete if you change your mind.
While this sounds like a valuable addition to the company’s AI chat service, Gemini is notorious for randomly erasing entire chat history. The company hasn’t spoken a word on this issue, and users still complain about it to date.
If this issue doesn’t get resolved before the rollout of the import feature, Gemini might delete your important chats, too. Before we get an official workaround from Google, it’s best to use tools like Google Drive to preserve your Google Gemini chats.
In addition to the import feature, the leaker has spotted two more Gemini features that are in the works. One is a setting called “Likeness,” and the other is the ability to download Nano Banana Pro images at 2K and 4K resolutions. However, there is no concrete information on what the new “Likeness” setting does.
As for when you might expect them, the leaker hasn’t shared any specific details about when Google is planning to release the feature. But since these features have been leaked, it’s safe to assume that the company is in the advanced stage of their development, which also means that we may not have to wait long.
