Your AI conversations
belong to you.
The Open Memory Protocol is a universal standard for owning, backing up, and migrating your AI conversations across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and every platform.
The Problem
Your conversations are trapped in silos
Every AI platform stores your data in a proprietary format. Switch from ChatGPT to Claude? You lose everything — every preference, every decision, every piece of context.
Nested JSON DAG
Cannot export to any other platform
Flat JSON with artifacts
No other platform accepts it
Google Takeout
Incomplete and incompatible
Local SQLite
Locked to local machine
No export
Total lock-in
Proprietary BSON
Incompatible with everything
The Solution
One universal, open standard
OMP defines a simple JSON-based exchange format that any platform can export, any user can back up, and any system can import. No vendor lock-in. No data loss.
Universal Format
Human-readable JSON. Flat, simple, self-contained. No nested DAGs or platform-specific artifacts. Just conversations and messages.
Platform Connectors
Drop-in converters for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and more. Export from any platform, import to any other — automatically.
Enterprise Grade
RBAC, audit logging, HIPAA/GLBA/COPPA compliance profiles, multi-tenant isolation. Built for regulated environments.
Your Rights
Five guaranteed operations
OMP exists to guarantee these five non-negotiable operations for every user.
Backup
Create a complete, portable copy of your AI history as an .omp.zip archive.
Restore
Import any OMP archive into any compatible Memory Host — your data, your choice.
Migrate
Move from one platform to another. ChatGPT → Claude → Gemini. No context lost.
Delete
Permanently remove specific conversations or your entire vault. Irrecoverable in 30 days.
Search
Find anything across all platforms — by keyword or meaning. Full semantic search.
Ecosystem
Part of the open AI stack
OMP complements — not competes with — other emerging AI standards.
MCP (Anthropic / LF)
MCP connects AI to tools. OMP stores the resulting conversations. Complementary.
A2A (Google / LF)
A2A governs agent-to-agent communication. OMP stores what those agents discussed. Complementary.
OAuth 2.0 (RFC 6749)
OMP uses OAuth for authentication. It does not replace or redefine OAuth. Built on top.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the Open Memory Protocol?
The Open Memory Protocol (OMP) is an open standard that lets you backup, migrate, and own your AI conversations across every platform including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and more. Think of it as the iCloud of AI — your conversations are automatically backed up, searchable, and portable.
Can I export my ChatGPT conversations to Claude?
Yes. OMP provides connectors that convert ChatGPT exports into the universal OMP format, which can then be imported into any OMP-compatible platform. The process is: Export from ChatGPT → Convert via OMP Connector → Import to Claude or any other platform.
Is OMP free to use?
Yes. The OMP specification is published under CC BY 4.0 and all code (SDKs, connectors, reference server) is Apache 2.0 licensed. The standard itself is completely free. There is also a hosted cloud service (Memory Vault) with free and paid tiers for those who prefer a managed solution.
How does OMP compare to MCP or A2A?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) connects AI to tools. A2A (Agent-to-Agent) governs communication between AI agents. OMP stores the resulting conversations from both. They are complementary standards — MCP and A2A handle the doing, OMP handles the remembering.
Can I self-host my own Memory Vault?
Absolutely. OMP provides a reference server as a Docker template that you can pull and run with a single command: docker pull ghcr.io/open-memory-protocol/omp-server:latest. It supports local-first, self-hosted, cloud, and hybrid deployment models.
