How to move from ChatGPT to Gemini.
A step-by-step guide to move ChatGPT workflows into Gemini — copy-ready, checkable, and checked against each tool’s own docs.
- Prepared for
- An example 3-person marketing team
- Sources
- 9 verified sources
7 steps, 5 paste-ready assets, 12 to confirm in Gemini.
- Custom GPTs for repeatable tasks
- Memory across chats
- Custom instructions
- Projects (per-topic grouping + files)
- Deep Research reports
Setup steps
Work through these in order. Check each off as you go; your progress is saved on this device.
Sign in at gemini.google.com with your Google account. If you were on ChatGPT Plus (~$20/mo), the closest Gemini tier is Google AI Pro ($19.99/mo); if you were on ChatGPT Pro $200, the top consumer tier is Google AI Ultra. Because you depend on Google Workspace (Docs, Gmail, Drive), confirm Gemini's Workspace and connector features are enabled on your chosen tier. Verify current pricing in the Gemini upgrade screen — these tiers and prices are provisional.
Plans and pricingOpen Settings > Apps in Gemini and enable the Connected Apps you rely on: Gmail, Drive, Docs, and Calendar. Once connected, invoke them in a prompt with '@AppName' (e.g. '@Gmail summarize my unread threads', '@Drive find my Q3 deck'). Note this replaces ChatGPT's auto-routing/pinned-connector model — on Gemini you explicitly @-mention the app. Confirm each connector toggle in the UI.
A few things to confirm
We flag these up front so nothing surprises you — a short list to double-check in Gemini as you go.
- 12 items are flagged to confirm in Gemini — check the menu paths and field names as you go.
- your "Custom GPTs for repeatable tasks" workflow is high-criticality, so this guide is flagged for human review before you rely on it.
- Everything here is grounded in provisional FPM data — verify each step in the live Gemini UI as you go.
Paste-ready assets
Workflows from ChatGPT, rewritten to paste straight into Gemini.
Create a new Gem in Gemini's Gem manager with the fields below. Name: Drafting & Analysis Assistant Instructions: "You are my drafting and analysis assistant for recurring work. Default to a concise, professional tone. For drafting tasks: produce a clean first draft, then offer one tightened alternative. For analysis tasks: lead with the key finding, then supporting detail in short bullet points, then a one-line recommendation. Use the attached Knowledge files as the source of truth; if information is missing from them, say so rather than guessing. When I reference Workspace data, expect me to attach it or @-mention Drive/Gmail/Docs." Knowledge: upload the same knowledge files you attached to your ChatGPT custom GPT (PDF/DOCX/TXT/CSV/XLSX supported). Keep each file under 100 MB and no more than 10 files.
- A Gem approximates a custom GPT (instructions + knowledge) but does not group chats the way ChatGPT Projects do.
- Gemini hard-caps knowledge at 100 MB per file and 10 files per prompt — consolidate or split large ChatGPT knowledge bundles.
- Test each Gem against a known task before retiring the original GPT (high-criticality workflow).
Same-day walkthrough
This sample was built for an example user. Yours gets built around how you work.
A 15–25 minute interview captures your workflows, then the guide is generated for you — same structure, your prompts, your projects, your gotchas. Nothing in your stack is changed or cancelled by any of it.
