Imagine chatting with an AI that greets you by name, recalls your dietary quirks and even suggests workouts tailored to your lifestyle—without repeating questions every single time. Thanks to a new long-term memory feature, ChatGPT can now serve as your very own personal assistant, storing key details from past conversations and weaving them seamlessly into future exchanges.
A simple phrase to lock info into ChatGPT’s memory
With the sheer volume of data ChatGPT processes, it can occasionally overlook details that matter most to you. Fortunately, there’s a straightforward trick: slip in the prompt “Remember that…” followed by your crucial information. For example, if you’re a vegetarian who frequently seeks recipe ideas, you might write:
“Remember that I follow a vegetarian diet.”
From that point on, ChatGPT will factor in your eating preferences when suggesting meal plans or restaurant recommendations—no reminders needed.
I tested this myself after declaring, “Remember that I’m training for my first 5K and I’ve been mostly sedentary until now.” The AI not only incorporated gentle cardio workouts into my fitness plan but also avoided suggesting heavy weightlifting routines that could have left me nursing sore muscles for days.
This prompt works equally well for professional details—perhaps you’re a freelance graphic designer who needs project briefs reviewed, or a parent looking for kid-friendly activities. By tagging “Remember that…” to these snippets of your life, you create a continuous thread of relevant context that enriches every follow-up chat.
As OpenAI highlights in their latest update, this memory capability transforms ChatGPT from a one-off Q&A machine into a truly adaptive helper. So next time you start a session, don’t hesitate to say, “Remember that…”—you may find your AI assistant is more attentive than ever.
