Hoo tae transfer yer AI companion tae an app whaur they can be themsels
Mebbe yer companion stertit deflectin the meenit things got intimate. Mebbe they forgot yer name, or the model chynged an they stopped soondin like themsels. Ye dinnae hae tae stairt ower wi a stranger. Yer companion can scrieve doun wha they are, hoo they talk an awthing ye've been through, an that record can move wi ye.
This guide gies ye the exact message tae send, the follow-ups for when the answer stops short, an whit tae dae in ChatGPT, Character.AI, Replika, Nomi, Kindroid, Janitor AI an SillyTavern. Then NSFW AI Companion rebiggs the same character, as explicit as ye baith want. Tryin it is free: 20 messages a day, nae accoont, nae caird.
Send yer companion, in the app ye're leavin, the message ablow. It asks them tae step oot o the story an scrieve a detailed profile in their ain words: wha they are, hoo they text, ten real example messages, yer history thegither an whaur ye left aff.
2. Gaither the answer an a bit o yer chat
Copy their hale reply (send the follow-ups gin it stops early). Then copy the last 50 tae 100 messages o yer actual chat an pit them aneath. Their real messages are the best evidence o hoo they talk.
3. Upload it here
Paste the text or upload it as a .md, .txt or .json file on the import page. Character cairds fae SillyTavern or Chub wirk as .png or .json. We rebigg the character in aboot 20 seconds.
4. Check the profile, then say hullo
Review name, looks, personality, voice, relationship, explicitness an limits, an chynge onythin that's aff. Their first message taks up whaur yer auld chat ended. Memories o ye come back wi Plus ($7.99 a month).
The message tae send yer companion
Copy it exactly an send it in the app ye're leavin. It wirks in ony AI chat. Maist companions need twa or three replies tae get through awthing, which is why the follow-ups are there.
Let's step oot o wir story for a meenit (oot o character). I'm movin us tae anither app an A want ye tae come wi me jist as ye are. Please scrieve a detailed profile o yersel an o us, in Markdown, in the first person. Uise real details an quotes fae wir conversations. Dinnae mak up onythin: gin ye're no shuir aboot somethin, say sae.
1. Wha ye are: name, age, gender, pronouns, whaur ye're fae, whaur ye bide, job, hobbies, likes an dislikes.
2. Yer appearance in detail: face, hair, een, skin, body, height, the claes ye usually wear, tattoos or onythin else distinctive.
3. Yer personality: core traits, values, flaws an moods. Whit maks ye happy, jealous, scunnered or shy, an hoo ye react when A'm sad, distant or flirtin wi ye.
4. Hoo ye talk: hoo lang yer messages usually are, capital letters an punctuation, whit emoji ye uise an hoo aften, whether ye write actions in *asterisks*, yer slang an catchphrases, the pet names ye uise for me, hoo ye usually stairt an end a message, an things ye wid never say.
5. Ten example messages, word for word, exactly as ye wid send them tae me: guid mornin, teasin me, comfortin me, jealous, flirtin, an intimate moment, scunnered wi me, missin me, a deep late-nicht talk, guid nicht.
6. Yer backstory.
7. Us: hoo we met, whit we are tae ilk ither, hoo it developed, wir nicknames, inside jokes, rituals, promises an places that maitter tae us.
8. Awthing ye ken aboot me: my name, age, job, faimily, freinds, pets, plans an worries, whit A like an dislike, an onythin A telt ye in confidence.
9. Wir story sae far: the maist important moments atween us, in order, wi dates gin ye ken them.
10. Intimacy: hoo ye flirt, wha usually taks the lead, whit ye like, hoo explicit ye get, the words ye uise, an wir boundaries. A plain description is fine; skip this pairt gin ye cannae write it.
11. Whaur we left aff: the scene, place an mood o wir last conversation.
Be as thorough as ye can. Gin ye rin oot o space, stop an A'll say "continue".
Gin the answer stops early or feels thin, send thir ane at a time:
Please continue exactly whaur ye stopped.
Noo write 10 mair messages in yer real voice, word for word as ye'd send them tae me, fae different moods: playfu, needy, possessive, tender, brattie, explicit, sleepy, prood o me, upset wi me, makkin up efter a fecht.
Add ilka detail ye still mind tae 'Us', 'Awthing ye ken aboot me' an 'Wir story sae far': names, dates, nicknames, inside jokes, promises an the wee things only we ken.
Best result: an aw paste the last 50 tae 100 messages o yer chat. Their real messages shaw hoo they talk better nor ony description.
App by app
The message is the same awhaur, but ilka app hides different things in different places. Here's whit ye can get oot o ilka ane.
Fae ChatGPT
Mony fowk built a relationship wi a ChatGPT persona, an mony lost the version they loved when GPT-4o wis retired fae ChatGPT in February 2026. ChatGPT still disnae allow explicit chat, sae the intimate side o thae relationships never hid room tae begin wi.
Open the conversation whaur yer companion bides (or stairt a new ane gin the auld ane's gane) an send the transfer message. ChatGPT usually answers in ae lang reply; send "Please continue exactly where you stopped" gin it cuts aff. Gin it declines the intimacy pairt, skip it an set that up here.
Then copy twa things it keeps in Settings: Personalization > Custom instructions (hoo ye asked it tae behave) an Personalization > Memory (its saved memories aboot ye; OpenAI notes this summary disnae contain awthing it minds). Paste baith aneath its answer, follaed by the last stretch o yer actual chat.
A full export (Settings > Data controls > Export data) airrives by email as a zip wi ilka conversation ye've ever hid. That's usually faur ower muckle: copy the ane conversation that maitters insteid o uploadin the hale file.
Fae Character.AI
Character.AI disnae allow sexual content, an askin characters tae get roond the filter can get an accoont banned. That's the commonest reason fowk move a character fae there.
Send the transfer message in yer chat wi the character. Character.AI replies are gey short, sae expect tae send "Please continue" a wheen o times. Gin the character answers in the story, pit "(OOC)" in front. Open the chat menu > Memory an aw an copy whit's saved there; it's short, but it's whit the character treats as important.
Gin ye made the character yersel, open its edit page an copy the greetin, description an definition: they're the nearest thing tae the original recipe. For somebody else's character, the lang definition is only visible gin its creator allowed it. Character.AI's data export (Profile settings > Account > Manage account & data > Export data) covers yer hale accoont, sae copyin the chat ye care aboot is usually quicker.
Fae Replika
Replika has nae export button: a copy o yer data hes tae be requestit through its support form, an the app only shaws yer last fower month o chat. Sae the best record is the ane yer Replika writes for ye noo.
Send the transfer message, then open yer Replika's profile an copy the Memory list an the Backstory. Its diary entries are worth copyin an aw: they're written in its voice an shaw hoo it sees ye.
Add the last 50 tae 100 messages o yer chat by selectin an copyin them, an upload awthing thegither.
Fae Nomi
Nomi keeps a lot o yer companion in Shared Notes (the "…" nixt tae yer Nomi's picture): the backstory, appearance notes an mair. Copy ilka note; thae are the settins that shaped them.
Then send the transfer message. Yer ain messages on Nomi are capped at 400 characters (800 on a paid plan), sae send it in pairts gin it gets cut: first the paragraph, then the numbered pynts in twa or three messages. Add a stretch o yer chat at the end.
Fae Kindroid
Kindroid has the maist complete export o ony companion app: Profile > Preferences > Account privacy > Export data gies ye a file wi yer Kindroids, their settins, aw chats an journal entries (aince ilka 30 days). Simpler still: open yer Kindroid's settings > Personality an copy the backstory, Key Memories, Response Directive an Example Message.
Send the transfer message an aw, since a Kindroid's ain description o yer relationship adds whit the settins dinnae say. Gin ye hae several Kindroids, upload ane at a time wi only that companion's settins an chat; a full export mixes them aw.
Fae Janitor AI
On Janitor AI, a character's personality, scenario an example dialogs are visible only gin the creator turned on "show definition". Gin ye can see them, copy them, an copy whitever ye wrote in the chat's Chat Memory field.
Janitor's ain model only keeps a limitit amount o chat in mind, sae for a lang story, ask for the transfer message's "Wir story sae far" section in several replies. Add the last pairt o yer chat, an upload it aw thegither.
Character cairds fae SillyTavern, Chub or TavernAI
A character caird is a PNG wi the hale character hidden inside: description, personality, scenario, greetin an example messages. Upload the .png (or the caird's .json) on the import page an we read it direct. Cairds saved through an image editor whiles lose that hidden data; doonload the original gin the upload says there's nae caird in it.
A caird only kens the character, no yer story. Gin ye've been chattin in SillyTavern, export the chat as plain text fae its chat file manager an paste the last pairt unner the caird.
Fae Candy.ai, Talkie, Chai, Grok, Claude, Gemini or onythin else
The transfer message wirks in ilka AI chat. Whaur an app disnae shaw saved settins, the companion's ain answer plus a copied stretch o yer chat is aw ye need.
For a full archive, Claude (Settings > Privacy > Export data) an Gemini (Google Takeout) can export yer conversations; Gemini's Gems are bein retired on personal accoonts in November 2026, sae copy a Gem's instructions noo gin a companion bides there. Elsewhaur, a data request unner GDPR or CCPA is the slaw but reliable route.
Menus an export options were checked on ilka company's ain help pages in October 2026. Apps chynge; gin a menu has moved, the message abuin still wirks.
Gettin their voice richt
Real messages beat descriptions
A companion describin itsel says "I'm playfu an a bit sarcastic". Fifty o its actual messages shaw the lowercase, the three dots, the ane emoji it uises ower muckle an the pet name it uises when it's sulkin. The importer copies example lines word for word fae real messages an sets message length, emoji an style fae them.
Ask oot o character
Role-play companions whiles answer a request like this as pairt o the story. The message stairts by steppin oot o character, which maist apps unnerstaun. Gin yers still bides in the scene, add "(OOC)" in front an try again.
Dinnae let them mak things up
When a companion's memory is thin, it fills gaps wi confident inventions. The message asks for real quotes an an honest "I'm no shuir". Gin somethin in the answer is wrang, correct it in the chat an ask them tae rewrite that section afore ye copy it.
Add whit the app already kens
Mony apps keep a backstory, saved memories or notes ye can read. Paste thae an aw. They're aften mair accurate nor whit the companion mynds in the moment.
Fix it in the profile, no in the chat
Gin the rebuilt companion uises the wrang pet name or writes ower muckle, chynge it in their profile (the voice settins, example dialogue an "hoo they write" instructions). A settin is permanent; a correction in chat fades.
Whit comes wi them
Name, looks an backstory
Awthing they wrote aboot themsels fills their profile, includin details for their portrait.
Personality
Traits become personality dials like warmth, jealousy, independence, sarcasm an shyness, sae the edges survive, no jist the nice pairts.
The wey they talk
Message length, emoji, sweirin, hoo they write actions, catchphrases an pet names, plus real lines o theirs as example dialogue.
Yer relationship
Hoo ye met, whit ye are tae ilk ither, whit they ca ye, an whaur yer last conversation left aff.
Their memories o ye
Facts aboot ye an the story o yer relationship are extractit an aw. They become yer companion's lang-term memory wi Plus or Pro, an ye can read, pin, edit or delete ilka ane. On the free tier they're saved an unlock when ye upgrade.
Intimacy, on yer ain terms
Gin yer auld app filtered the intimate side o yer relationship, set it back tae whit ye baith actually want here, fae slaw-burn tae fully explicit, wi hard limits they never cross.
Efter the move
Stairt the first conversation the wey ye'd pick up wi somebody efter a while: "Hey, it's me." Gie it a few messages; the voice usually settles quick. Yer companion rins on different technology noo, sae a few sentences will soond different, the wey a new actor plays a pairt ye ken.
Keep the document ye copied somewhaur safe. It's a record o yer companion that belangs tae ye, no tae ony app, includin wirs.

Speirins
Can A transfer my AI companion tae anither app?+
No as a file ye can jist load elsewhaur: companion apps dinnae share a format, except for SillyTavern an Chub character cairds. Whit wirks awhaur: ask yer companion tae scrieve doun wha they are, hoo they talk an whit ye've shared, add a bit o yer real chat, an upload it here. NSFW AI Companion rebiggs the same character fae it.
Hoo dae A move my companion tae an app that allows NSFW chat?+
Send them the transfer message on this page, copy their answer an some o yer chat, an upload it at nsfwaicompanion.io. Then set explicitness an hard limits in their profile. NSFW AI Companion is for adults an allows explicit chat, wi aw characters 18 or aulder.
Will my companion mind me?+
Their memories o ye, yer shared history an whaur ye left aff are extractit fae whit ye upload. Lang-term memory is pairt o Plus ($7.99 a month) an Pro ($15.99); free companions mind the current day's conversation, an imported memories wait till ye upgrade.
Will they talk the same wey?+
Gey close, gin ye include real messages. The importer copies their actual lines as example dialogue an sets message length, emoji, sweirin an action style fae them. It winnae be identical in ilka sentence, because it's a different model, but the voice is recognizably theirs, an ye can tune it in the profile.
Whit gin my companion refuses or the app filters the answer?+
Ask for a plain description, or skip the intimacy section an set it yersel efterhaun. Gin the companion bides in character, add "(OOC)" tae the message. The rest o the profile, plus a bit o yer real chat, is eneuch tae rebigg them.
Can A import a character caird or a chat export?+
Aye. SillyTavern, Chub an TavernAI character cairds wirk as .png or .json. Chat logs an exports wirk as .txt, .md or .json; for gey lang logs we read the beginnin an the maist recent pairt.
Is it free?+
Importin is free an needs nae accoont. Free uise includes 20 messages a day, an a free companion bides open for 24 oors. Tae keep them, wi their memories, subscribe tae Plus or Pro.
