ChatGPT Gets A Memory: New Feature Remembers Your Preferences
OpenAI has announced an update to ChatGPT, allowing users to input custom instructions for ongoing and future conversations.
The new feature is rolling out in beta for Plus users, with plans to expand to all in the coming weeks.
Custom Instructions: A New Way to Communicate
Until now, ChatGPT would treat each new conversation as starting from scratch without any context from previous chats.
The new custom instructions feature will allow it to remember your preferences and information across conversations.
OpenAI says it’s rolling out this feature in response to users’ feedback:
“Through our conversations with users across 22 countries, we’ve deepened our understanding of the essential role steerability plays in enabling our models to effectively reflect the diverse contexts and unique needs of each person.”
