GoKawiilChatGPT’s memory feature allows it to learn about you and remember your preferences over time.

ChatGPT memory generation is getting more advanced
First, OpenAI explains how ChatGPT’s “dreaming” feature that helps fill in the blanks around memories automatically is getting an upgrade.
“Today we’re beginning to roll out a more capable and scalable system for synthesizing memory, developed to tackle the staleness, correctness, and scalability challenges that we observe when memory is applied to the hundreds of millions of users and multi-year time horizons in ChatGPT,” the company says.
Here’s how OpenAI says they’re supercharging ChatGPT memory now:
Today, we are launching a significantly more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. The memories synthesized by dreaming are reviewable through a summary of them made visible in the memory summary page. From the memory summary, you can quickly glean the highlights of what ChatGPT knows about you, add or update information about yourself, and provide instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. If you want to drill down into a particular area to learn more, just chat with the model.

Carrying forward useful context.
Following preferences and constraints
And staying current with the passage of time.
