What is the best way to transfer AI conversation context between platforms?
This is a problem I spent a long time thinking about — not as a developer originally, but as a professional translator.
I worked across English, French, and Arabic for 25 years. The core discipline of translation is resolving ambiguity before it propagates. Before you render a single sentence, you've already answered a dozen structural questions: What does the speaker intend, not just say? What's the temporal frame? Who owns this commitment?
When I started using AI assistants heavily, I noticed they failed at exactly those categories. Not because the models were bad — because the input format was wrong. Raw conversational text is designed for human interpretation, not machine execution. Every time you paste a conversation into a new AI, the AI has to re-interpret it from scratch. And each re-interpretation may produce slightly different results.
The solution I built:
I created a format called LISA-V (Verbatim+) — a structured JSONL file that encodes a complete AI conversation with all ambiguity pre-resolved. Tasks are explicitly tagged as open or resolved. Decisions are stored with their rationale. Code blocks carry SHA-256 integrity hashes. The session carries a Merkle root for tamper detection.
The practical workflow:
- Use the LISA Core Chrome extension to capture your conversation from any major AI platform (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, Perplexity, Mistral, DeepSeek) in one click
- Download the LISA-V file
- Upload it to any other AI platform and say: "Read this and continue where we left off"
The receiving AI reconstructs full context from the structured file — it knows what tasks are open, what decisions were made and why, and exactly where the conversation ended.
A 200-message conversation that would be 60,000 tokens as raw text becomes around 2,400 tokens as a LISA-V file. Not because anything is removed — nothing is — but because the structure does the interpretive work in advance.
It works across all 9 major platforms and local models via Ollama. Free tier available, no account required to try it.
