This update helps the bot to harness the information from previous sessions to tailor its web search results accordingly. The new feature memory with search enables ChatGPT to save past interactions to provide users with refined responses.

The Feature’s Operation

Consider that you’ve shared your location with ChatGPT or your food choices. In that case, it can leverage such details while responding to a query. For instance:

Assuming you indicated that you’re a vegan and you live somewhere in India.

Later, you say, “Which restaurants do I like that are around me?”

ChatGPT is likely to respond with something akin to, “Vegan restaurants in Delhi.”

This provides you with accurate solutions while helping you avoid the need to restate your preferences.

The Importance of This

This is an enhancement of ChatGPT’s abilities after OpenAI’s effort to integrate a memory functionality within ChatGPT. This means the bot now has the capacity to remember details of past conversations and build context around replies, improving interactions. With this change, the tool is better positioned against tech like Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude, which already integrate similar memory-like attributes.

Privacy and Control

If this is a privacy concern, users can disable it in the settings of ChatGPT. While OpenAI mentioned that the feature isn’t out to everyone yet, some users claim to have accessed it already.
