Summary: Now available to Plus and Pro subscribers, OpenAI has improved ChatGPT's memory, allowing it to remember previous exchanges for more tailored responses.

OpenAI has announced a significant enhancement to ChatGPT's memory capabilities, allowing the AI to reference users' past interactions to deliver more personalized and context-aware responses. Except for some areas, including the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and the European Economic Area (EEA), this service is being made available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users worldwide.

With the improved memory, ChatGPT can now remember details from previous conversations, such as user preferences and interests, to tailor its responses more effectively. For example, ChatGPT will memorize a topic you have often talked about and can recall it for future discussions. To enhance the user experience, this effort aims to make ChatGPT interactions more rational and personalized.

OpenAI prioritizes user control over this functionality. Users can opt out of memory usage at any time through the settings. Additionally, users can manage what ChatGPT remembers about them by making specific requests within the chat. For conversations that users prefer not to influence memory, a temporary chat option is available.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed enthusiasm about the update, stating, "We have greatly improved memory in ChatGPT—it can now reference all your past conversations! This is a surprisingly great feature, and it points at something we are excited about: AI systems that get to know you over your life and become extremely useful and personalized.

The memory improvements are expected to be extended to ChatGPT Team, Enterprise, and Edu users in the coming weeks, further broadening the availability of this enhanced functionality.
