ChatGPT will create a digital memory to help personalize its responses

OpenAI is adding a feature that will allow ChatGPT to remember both information about individual users and how they want the chatbot to respond to different types of queries. The feature is rolling out to a small number of free and paid ChatGPT Plus subscribers.
