Summary
ChatGPT’s Memory feature is more powerful than you might think.
Once enabled, ChatGPT will start to memorize stuff about you from all future chats you have with it.
ChatGPT can also automatically memorize some points from your ongoing conversation, even if you dont give explicit instructions.
to check what it recently saved.
Deleting a chat won’t delete the memory.
You’ll need to delete the memory specifically to remove it.
So, in the previous example, I told ChatGPT to remember my BMI is 26.
In a future conversation, you could ask, Do you remember the marketing campaign we discussed?
and then continue with, Its been approved.
Lets talk about the strategy outline.
ChatGPT will recall the topic and help you outline the strategy.
Lets start planning the social media content.
ChatGPT will remember the outline and assist you with the next steps.
This way, you could manage your project across multiple sessions without losing track of progress.
ChatGPT will remember these updates.
and it will list everything it noted.
This keeps the Memory uncluttered for the next day.
The key here is to use the keywordToday.
That way, when you tell ChatGPT to remember memories tagged with Today, it will fetch only those.
Without using the Today keyword, this use case wont work properly.
Remember Important Chats
ChatGPT doesnt allow you to search across your chat history.
This can be extremely time-consuming, especially if the details you need are buried deep within the conversation.
This creates a memory of the chats summary.
This is because there’s alimited context window.
It also allowed you to specify how youd like ChatGPT to respond.
Both features do feel like they serve the same purposepersonalize ChatGPTs responses.
However, I notice each has their own unique use cases.
I personally use Custom Instructions to provide ChatGPT with more static information.
On the flip side, I use Memory tostore more dynamic informationfacts that are constantly changing.
Ideally, both Custom Instructions and Memory should work together to give you the most relevant and helpful replies.
Is It Safe To Share and Save Information About Yourself on ChatGPT?
OpenAI claims that theytrain their modelson content entered into ChatGPT by individual users i.e.
ChatGPT Free and Plus users, but not ChatGPT Team or Enterprise.
As a rule of thumb,avoid sharing any and all sensitive datawith the AI chatbot.
ChatGPT’s Memory feature is a game-changer, making your interactions more personalized and productive.
