Anyone who’s tried switching AI apps knows the frustration. You spend months with one chatbot. It learns your name, your job, your preferences. Then you switch to something else and start from scratch. According to a new APK teardown, Google is working on a Gemini memory import tool to fix exactly that.
Android Authority dug into version 17.11.54 of the Google app and found strings for a feature codenamed “Robin Import.” It hasn’t gone live yet, and there’s no guarantee it ever will. But the code lays out how it would work in two parts.
The first handles memory. Gemini generates a prompt that you copy and paste into whatever AI app you’re currently using. That app spits out a summary of what it knows about you: your name, demographic info, and background details you’ve shared over time. You paste that response back into Gemini, and it stores everything as a memory. The second part covers your chat history. You export your conversations from the other app and package them into a zip file under 5GB. Then upload that to Gemini, and it has the context from your old chats going forward.
Which apps could this work with?
The Gemini memory import tool could work with any AI chatbot. Android Authority specifically shows ChatGPT as an example in the screenshots pulled from the code, but Claude, Perplexity, and others would presumably be in play too. Worth noting: this isn’t a direct sync between apps. It’s more of a manual hand-off where you’re copying responses and uploading files yourself. Functional, but not seamless.
Google has been pushing Gemini as its default AI across Android and has paid Samsung to pre-install it on Galaxy phones. A feature that lowers the barrier for users already invested in a rival chatbot fits that strategy. Google hasn’t announced a release date, and features found in APK teardowns don’t always make it to production.
