How to Use ChatGPT’s Memory Feature

Its latest update improves the AI’s ability to remember user details

Everything reminds me of Her. While ChatGPT is not as powerful as the artificial intelligence from Spike Jonze's sci-fi romance movie, OpenAI's experimental memory tool for its chatbot seems to suggest a future where bots are highly personalized and capable of more fluid, lifelike conversations.

OpenAI just soft-launched a new feature for ChatGPT called Memory, where the AI chatbot stores personal details that you share in conversations and refers to this information during future chats. Right now, ChatGPT’s Memory feature is available only to a small group of users to test—it’s unclear when a wider rollout for more chatbot users will happen. The feature is expected to be available for all chatbot users, not just subscribers to ChatGPT Plus.

While a few specifics may change before the feature is made available to everyone, here’s what you can likely expect from ChatGPT’s Memory.
