ChatGPT just got a major upgrade to its memory.
On Thursday, OpenAI announced that “memory in ChatGPT can now reference all of your past chats to provide more personalized responses.” The bot will now leverage your “preferences and interests to make it even more helpful for writing, getting advice, learning, and beyond.”
“This is a surprisingly great feature imo, 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,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on X.
ChatGPT was already equipped with a “Memory” feature. Users could tell the bot to save particular prompts, queries, and other requests to improve their future chats — all of which could be controlled in the “Manage memories” tab.
Now, the bot can leverage even more details it naturally picks up in conversation. So, if it gleans that a user is a baseball fan, it’ll bring that up in its responses.
Users can opt out of referencing past chats — or memory altogether — at any point via Settings, OpenAI said.
The company said the new feature is rolling out today to all ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Pro users except those in select countries, including the UK, Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland. ChatGPT Team, Enterprise, and Edu users will have access to the new feature in a few weeks.
Users will know when they have access to the feature when they see this screen:
ChatGPT has set a record for the fastest-growing user base of any consumer application in history.
In a note Barclays tech analysts sent to tech investors in March, they wrote that ChatGPT had added 100 million users in two months. The bot also hit 20 million paid subscribers, The Information reported on April 1. That’s close to a 30% jump from the 15.5 million it had at the end of last year, the outlet reported.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
