Even though we have hundreds of AI chatbots, the old one – ChatGPT remains the best. Compared to other chatbots, ChatGPT is easier to use and stands out due to its non-messy user interface.

Recently, ChatGPT received an exciting feature called ‘Memory’. If you’re a ChatGPT user and want to enhance your conversation experience further, you should know about this feature.

What is Memory on ChatGPT?

Memory on ChatGPT is a feature that remembers things you discuss across all chats. This feature can prevent you from repeating the same information repeatedly on the chat.

This feature is supposed to make future conversations more helpful and easy. To use it, you will have to tell the chatbot to remember something, and once it remembers, it will be saved in its Memory.

Previously, the ChatGPT Memory was only available to Plus users, but now it’s available even on the free account.

How to Use ChatGPT Memory Feature?

The feature is very easy to use as it depends on your text problems. You can get started by signing in to your OpenAI account on ChatGPT and following the steps below.

2. Once you have access to the chatbot, start a new conversation. Next, type in a text containing the information you want the chatbot to remember.

For example, I want ChatGPT to remember the details of your pet dog. So, I entered a text prompt reading, ‘I have a 2 year old Golden Retriever named Turee who loves to ride vehicles’
