Research in Perplexity, write in ChatGPT: merge both chats into one prompt

Perplexity for the research, ChatGPT for the writing: it's a common way to work. The trouble is that your work now lives in two places. The sources and findings are in one chat, the draft and your decisions in another. To keep going, you need both in one place, without copying and pasting everything.

Why people split the work this way

Perplexity is built around searching the web and showing where its answers come from. ChatGPT is where many people draft and rework text. In Singapore, Perplexity sent 4.93% of the traffic that AI chatbots referred to websites in September 2026, according to Statcounter, against 3.17% in Australia on the same measure. ChatGPT led those referrals in Singapore with 77.55%.

The problem with two chats

  • The draft doesn't know the research. ChatGPT never saw the sources Perplexity found.
  • The research doesn't know the decisions. Perplexity has no idea which angle you picked.
  • Pasting both into one chat brings back everything: every search, every rewrite, with nothing to tell the useful parts apart.

Bring them together by hand

  1. From the Perplexity chat, copy the findings you're keeping, with their sources.
  2. From the ChatGPT chat, note the goal, what's decided and the latest version of the draft.
  3. Open a new chat in the AI you want to continue in, and start it with both, under clear headings: "Research", "Decisions", "Draft".
  4. Ask it to continue, not to start over.

The faster way: Merge, in Uncook

Uncook's Merge does it for you. With the Uncook extension, pick the Perplexity chat and the ChatGPT chat, then choose Merge. You get one prompt that brings together what matters from both: the findings, the decisions, the latest version, and what's still open.

Copy it into a new chat.

The account allowance and chat limit are shown in the tool box below.

Questions people ask

Does the merged prompt keep Perplexity's sources? It keeps what the chat says, including the sources Perplexity listed in its answers. Check the links before you rely on them.

Can I continue in Perplexity instead? Yes. The merged prompt is plain text, so you can paste it into any AI.

Can I merge more than two chats? Yes, with a pack or Pro. The free-account limit is shown in the tool box.

We don't keep the conversations you bring. When you click Send to Uncook in the extension window, the extension sends the chat from your tab to our servers, encrypted, for up to 30 minutes, and we delete it as soon as your Uncook page opens it. What Uncook makes from it is kept as a task, for as long as our Privacy page says. Neither your chats nor your tasks are used to train AI models.
