5 Easy Tips for ChatGPT to Remember You

Published Date : 24/06/2025 

Discover how to personalize your interactions with ChatGPT by introducing yourself, being specific about previous chats, spacing out details, writing an abbreviated biography, and auditing the AI's memory. 

Using ChatGPT at first was like talking to the kind of amnesiac seen in movies and TV. You'd have to introduce yourself and explain a bit about your preferences every time you interacted, or else deal with a more generic set of responses. That's all changed now.

Like a selective sponge, ChatGPT can absorb various details about you from your conversations. And ChatGPT's memory feature allows you to write a whole autobiography to teach ChatGPT about yourself.
