Claude hit me with a usage limit, so I moved the entire conversation to ChatGPT — this free browser extension made it ridiculously easy

AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are all keen to encourage you to use their service over their rivals, and often have ways to import your history and profile from one to another to some degree.

That's great if you are planning a serious relocation, but sometimes you just want to take a single chat and bring it from one platform to another.

This can be especially useful if you're using the free version of Claude, for example, and you're about to reach your usage limit.

By transferring the chat to another AI chatbot you can keep it going without waiting for your limits to refresh.

ThreadPort is a new browser extension for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge designed to shorten that trip.

It transfers a conversation currently open in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to either of the other two services, carrying over the text of the discussion and some basic context setup as a single prompt plus transcript so the new AI chatbot can continue the conversation.

That makes ThreadPort fundamentally different from the built-in import tools offered by all three platforms.

Instead of needing to learn everything about you and your conversational history.

ThreadPort simply tells another AI what you have been discussing for the past few minutes.

The access lets ThreadPort read the messages on one service and insert them into another, while browser storage is used for settings, temporary transfers, and the monthly usage count.

The developer plans to make unlimited transfers a premium service with only 10 transfers a month for free, though at the moment the extension doesn't run out of transfers.

All you need to do then is have your chat on one of the platforms open, click on the extension, and pick another platform to send it to.

The new platform will open automatically, and a transcript of the conversation, headed by an explanation from ThreadPort, will appear.
