The "Memory" feature in ChatGPT, introduced by OpenAI, represents an important step forward in the development of artificial intelligence. This feature, which allows the AI to remember and use details shared in previous conversations, is only available for the basic versions of ChatGPT, not the customized versions (customGPTs). Let's take a closer look at how it works and what its potential benefits and limitations are.
ChatGPT will become someone who knows you and does not forget previous conversations, but still this feature is somewhat limited.
What exactly is the Memory function?
The Memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember key information such as personal names, locations, favorite movies, and other specific preferences that a user shares during a conversation. This information is then used to improve contextual relevance and personalization in subsequent conversations. OpenAI first tested the feature with a limited group of users, but it is now available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers.
How does Memory improve interactions?
With the Memory feature, ChatGPT becomes capable of having more natural and personalized conversations. It not only remembers basic data, but also records specific interests and previous interactions, allowing the AI to more effectively answer questions and suggest relevant topics. This ability significantly reduces the need to re-explain previous conversations and increases the effectiveness of communication.

Feature limitations and privacy
Despite its advantages, the Memory function is not without limitations. It is currently only available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers and is not integrated into custom ChatGPT models (customGPTs), meaning they cannot use or store information via the Memory feature. Additionally, there are privacy concerns as the feature requires personal data to be stored. OpenAI ensures that users can delete stored data at any time and opt out of training AI models with their data.
Tips for using the Memory function
For those who want to take advantage of the Memory function, it is important to understand how to manage the collected memory. Users can add, customize or delete memories through their profile settings. It's also possible to temporarily turn off the feature for certain conversations, which is useful for keeping sensitive topics private. And how do we order him to complete a certain thing. By simply adding a command to it: remember.
Conclusion
The Memory feature in ChatGPT opens new doors for the development of artificial intelligence that can conduct more personal and contextually rich conversations. Although it is currently limited to basic versions of ChatGPT and includes certain privacy concerns, represents a promising advance in the personalization of digital interactions. In the future, we can expect further improvements, as well as the expansion of this memory function to pen-based custom ChatGPTs, which will learn a lot from such conversations.
