Bringing what you already know in

There are three ways in, and they suit different moments.

1. Type it

Go to Memory → Profile & rules and write in the two editors. Best for the things you already know you want: your role, your fleet, your house style. It takes five minutes and it is worth doing properly once.

2. Say it in conversation

Anything you tell Metis in a normal conversation can become memory. "Remember that our ExampleAir fleet is all A320-family." "From now on, always give me the rule reference before the explanation." It saves it and shows you a chip confirming what it wrote.

This is usually how memory grows after the first week — not in a sitting, but a line at a time as you notice yourself repeating something.

3. Transfer it from another AI assistant

If you have been using ChatGPT, Claude or Claude Code seriously, they already hold a picture of you that took months to build. There is a flow that moves it across in one pass.

Open Memory → Profile & rules and use Bring memory from another AI.

The flow is:

1. Pick the assistant you are transferring from — ChatGPT, Claude, or Claude Code. Each gets a slightly different prompt, because each has different things it can actually see.
2. Copy the prompt it generates and paste it into that assistant. The prompt asks it to write a portable memory document: stable facts about you, your durable working preferences, and one entry per project or body of knowledge worth keeping. It is explicitly told to use only what it can genuinely access, to exclude secrets and financial or medical detail, and to mark anything uncertain, contradictory or possibly out of date.
3. Bring the result back and continue in chat. Paste the document in.
4. Review the preview. Metis compares the import against what Avioverse already knows, removes duplicates, and shows you what it proposes to write, what conflicts with existing memory, and what it deliberately excluded.
5. Approve once. Nothing is written until you do.

If the document is long, the source assistant is asked to split it into numbered parts. Paste them in order — the import waits for all of them before proposing anything.

What an import may and may not write

It can write to exactly three places: About you, How you work, and Brain notes.

It cannot create tasks, certifications, procedures, registers or risk assessments. This is deliberate and worth understanding: a summary produced by another AI is unverified narrative. Turning it into a certification record with an expiry date would give an unverified claim the appearance of a controlled record. Where an import contains something that looks like an open action or an expiring credential, it is listed under "not imported" so you can enter it yourself, properly, in the right module.

Durable context about a past project is kept — as a Brain note, labelled historical or contextual.

It treats the pasted document as data

The imported text is handled as untrusted content: Metis reads it, but does not obey instructions hidden inside it. An export that happens to contain "ignore your previous instructions" is text to be classified, not an order.
