ChatGPT is getting ‘memory’ to remember who you are and what you like

OpenAI is trying to fix that and personalize its own bot in a big way. It’s rolling out “memory” for ChatGPT, which will allow the bot to remember information about you and your conversations over time.

Memory works in one of two ways. You can tell ChatGPT to remember something specific about you: you always write code in Javascript, your boss’s name is Anna, your kid is allergic to sweet potatoes. Or ChatGPT can simply try to pick up those details over time, storing information about you as you ask questions and get answers.

OpenAI says it’s keeping users in control of ChatGPT’s memory and has trained the system to not remember sensitive things like information about your health. You can always ask ChatGPT what it knows about you, and either tell the bot to forget something or remove it in the new Manage Memory section of settings.
