# Import chats

> Bring local Conductor, Codex, Claude Code, and Devin conversations into Tembo.

Import local chats from the Tembo desktop app. Each chat becomes a private session. The import copies the conversation, not the repository, branch, or files. Running it again does not create duplicates.

If you are leaving Conductor Cloud, follow [Migrate from Conductor](https://docs.tembo.io/migrate-from-conductor.md) first so your branches and setup are saved. This page covers the chat import for every supported app.

## Prerequisites

* The [Tembo desktop app](https://tembo.io/download) is installed on the computer that has the chats.
* You are signed in to the workspace where the sessions should land.

## Import

1. Open the desktop app.
2. Go to **Settings > Import**.
3. Choose **Conductor**, **ChatGPT**, **Claude**, or **Devin**.
4. Click **Import from** that source, then confirm the import.

Tembo titles each session **From Conductor:**, **From ChatGPT:**, **From Claude:**, or **From Devin:**, followed by the original title.

## What each source reads

| Source | Where the chats are |
| - | - |
| Conductor | The Conductor Mac app. Transfer a Conductor Cloud chat to local before importing it. |
| ChatGPT | Local Codex app and CLI sessions in `~/.codex/sessions` and `~/.codex/archived_sessions`. |
| Claude | Local Claude Code conversations in `~/.claude/projects`. |
| Devin | Local Devin CLI and Desktop history on this computer. |

If the list is empty, open the desktop app on the computer that has those files. Tembo cannot read chats that only exist on another machine.

## Keep working

An imported session has the earlier conversation as context. It does not check out the old branch. To continue on a branch, mention `@tembo` on that branch's pull request, or send a follow-up that names the branch. See [Mentioning Tembo](https://docs.tembo.io/features/mentioning-tembo.md).
