OpenAI has started testing the memory management features of ChatGPT. Now you can ask the chatbot to remember something, forget it, or find out what it already remembers. The company believes that this will make communication with ChatGPT more efficient and convenient.

When interacting with a chatbot, users can ask to remember important facts or details so that the system can then take them into account when generating responses. For example, if you tell ChatGPT that you prefer an hour and a half workout in the gym and ask it to remember, the neural network will take this into account when planning the next session.

Users can manage ChatGPT memory. For this, a personalization section was added to the settings. In it, you can turn off the memory so that additional knowledge does not affect the creation of answers. In addition, in a separate menu, you can edit the facts that the chatbot has remembered. If you don’t want to disable memory functions, you can create a temporary chat that works without them by default.

The company notes that the new mode can be useful for corporate users as well. For example, if you use ChatGPT in development, you can ask the chatbot to remember the technology stack in the project. The user will not need to repeat these details the next time they are asked to generate a code.

OpenAI has already started rolling out an update with ChatGPT memory features to some users. After testing, the company plans to improve the mode and open access to everyone.
