Benefits of the Latest ChatGPT Memory

This new memory system doesn't have a 'context window' limit like a standard notepad; it can continuously refer to all past conversations to provide more relevant responses.

Memory Management Tips

ChatGPT memory is usually turned ON by default. If you are using a Teams or Enterprise account, make sure to check the 'Manage Memory' section regularly because it can easily become full if a lot of manual information is added.
