What is Hermit
Hermit is a privacy-focused service that helps users transfer their context and conversation history from ChatGPT to other AI assistants like Claude and Gemini. Rather than starting from scratch with new AI tools, Hermit allows users to maintain continuity by analyzing their ChatGPT export files and generating comprehensive AI profiles that capture their preferences, projects, and interaction patterns. The tool processes ChatGPT conversation data locally with encryption and automatic deletion for privacy protection.
