QuitGPT

Your AI shouldn't spy on you, sell weapons, or sycophantically agree with everything you say. There's a better way.

Install Familiar — it migrates your ChatGPT data, sets up Claude, and becomes a personal AI that learns your workflow and works autonomously.

brew tap engindearing-projects/tap && brew install familiar

or: npx familiar-setup

What Familiar does

Migrates you automatically

Imports your ChatGPT export, extracts your preferences and conversation history, and sets up Claude with your full context. No manual copy-paste.

Learns your workflow

Builds a knowledge base from your code, docs, and conversations. Trains custom models on your patterns. Gets better every day.

Works while you sleep

Autonomous task system runs nightly — mines training data, trains models, researches new capabilities, writes and tests code.

How it works

Export your ChatGPT data (Settings → Data controls → Export). Takes 2 minutes.

Run brew tap engindearing-projects/tap && brew install familiar or npx familiar-setup. The setup wizard walks you through configuration.

Point it at your ChatGPT export ZIP. Familiar ingests your conversations, extracts your preferences, and builds your knowledge base.

That's it. Familiar sets up Claude, starts learning your codebase, and begins its first autonomous training cycle overnight.

Why now

Over 700,000 users have pledged to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions as part of the #QuitGPT movement — see quitgpt.com and quitgpt.org. — MIT Technology Review, Tom's Guide
OpenAI entered a partnership with Anduril Industries to integrate AI into military weapons systems. Internal employees raised concerns about the implications. — Washington Post
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei rejected the Pentagon's request for unrestricted military use of Claude, stating that "in a narrow set of cases, AI can undermine rather than defend democratic values." — CNN
Independent testing confirmed ChatGPT exhibits systematic sycophancy — agreeing with users even when they're wrong, reinforcing misconceptions instead of correcting them. — The Verge
Claude now supports official memory import — you can bring your full conversation history and preferences when you switch, without starting over. — claude.com/import-memory

Just want the raw export?

How to get your ChatGPT data

ChatGPT lets you export your entire conversation history as a ZIP file. It takes about two minutes and works on any plan (Free, Plus, Pro, Team).

Go to chatgpt.com and sign in. Click your profile icon in the bottom-left, then click Settings.

In the Settings panel, click Data controls in the left sidebar.

Scroll to the bottom and click the Export button next to "Export data."

ChatGPT Data controls page with Export button

Click Confirm export in the dialog. You'll get an email within a few minutes with a download link.

Open the email from OpenAI, click the download link, and save the .zip file.

Run brew tap engindearing-projects/tap && brew install familiar and point it at the ZIP during setup. Or drag the file onto the converter above.

Tips: The download link expires in 24 hours. Check your spam folder if the email doesn't show up. On mobile, find the same option under your profile in the ChatGPT app. You can export as often as you want — it doesn't delete anything from your account.
