Switching to AI-Public

Are you switching from another AI system to AI-Public? If so, you usually can’t automatically transfer conversations, memory, gems, assistants, or custom GPTs. Some systems do offer an export, but that can take a while and is often not directly suitable as an import for AI-Public.

What does work well: let your old AI system summarize what it knows about your preferences and way of working. You can then use that text in AI-Public.

Step 1: create a short personal instruction​

Open your old AI system, for example ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot. Ask it this question:

Using what you know about me, create a good system prompt for a generic AI program so that this program can take into account my communication preferences and useful information from my history that may be important for follow-up questions.
Take into account:
1. My role, context, and type of work
2. My recurring goals and tasks
3. My main themes and domains
4. My communication and collaboration preferences
5. My writing style and tone
6. What I dislike
Do this in 100-150 words

Check whether the answer is truly personal and useful. If your old AI system does not use memory or history, the answer may be very general. Then only take over what is correct.

Is the text useful? Then copy it into AI-Public under Preferences > General instructions and information > Additional instructions.

tip

Don’t see General instructions and information? Then set your view to Standard. In Getting started, advanced preferences are hidden.

Step 2: optionally create personal assistants​

If you used your old AI system a lot for fixed tasks, gems, assistants, or custom GPTs, you can also have it create a proposal for new assistants in AI-Public.

Use this question:

I am switching to a new AI system and want to set up a collection of useful gems / assistants / custom GPTs there.

Use what you have learned about me from our previous conversations.

Design the 3 most valuable specialized assistants for my work.

For each assistant, I want this format:

1. Name
2. Description
3. System prompt
4. A short example of a good user question
5. Optionally, which tools this assistant needs, such as internet search, which documents should be added
6. Explain why you think this assistant is useful

Avoid abstract assistants such as “creative thinker” or “general helper.”
Choose only assistants with a clear task, recognizable input, and directly usable output.

Use the result as a draft. Prefer a few sharp assistants with a clear task over many general helpers. Only add documents or tools that the assistant really needs.

Review what you take over​

Do not blindly copy everything from an old AI system. Pay special attention to:

  • personal data;
  • confidential information;
  • old or incorrect preferences;
  • general text that adds little value.

A good transition often consists of two parts: a short personal instruction and a few practical assistants for recurring work.
