Importing to Specific Tools

Import to Notion

Export from AI Memory as Markdown, then drag into Notion. Notion auto-converts Markdown formatting.

Import to Obsidian

Export from AI Memory as Markdown files. Place in your Obsidian vault folder. Obsidian reads .md files natively.

Import to Other AI Tools

Use AI Memory's MCP Server to let Claude Desktop, Cursor, or other AI assistants search your Gemini history. This is the most powerful way to leverage imported data.
