OpenAI has introduced the Memory feature for ChatGPT, allowing paying subscribers to store queries and prompts more permanently. This feature enables the AI to remember user preferences, making responses more personalized. Users can instruct ChatGPT to remember specific details and it also learns from conversations to enhance its capabilities. However, OpenAI assures that users will have control over what ChatGPT retains and uses for additional training. The AI will now notify users when memories are updated and users can manage what ChatGPT remembers by reviewing and removing unwanted details. Examples of Memory’s uses include customizing meeting notes, brainstorming social media posts, and creating personalized birthday cards. Additionally, it can remember specific preferences such as lesson durations for teachers. While Memory is available to paying subscribers outside of Europe or Korea, OpenAI plans to roll it out to other subscription tiers and custom GPTs in the future, without specifying a timeline for this expansion.
