New Delhi: ChatGPT has been provided with automatic memory management by OpenAI. This update assists the AI to manage stored information without having to be fed information by the user. It will be the follow-up to the first memory feature released in early 2024. There is less frequent occurrence of ‘memory full’ messages to users. The system now determines what to keep or to delete by itself.
The first change to be made is to Plus and Pro subscribers. It facilitates conversations as one recalls the main facts with time. ChatGPT retains data such as preferences or previous subjects. Storage becomes automatic when storage reaches limits. It puts priority on new and pertinent data. Memories that are old and unused are erased.
ChatGPT can now automatically manage your saved memories—no more “memory full.”
You can also search and sort memories by recency, and choose which to re-prioritize in settings.

How automatic memory management works?
ChatGPT has a memory of stored information and chat records. Memories that are saved are certain facts that you can tell to remember. The history of chats includes the recent history of conversations up to a total of about 40 sessions. The automatic system applies such rules as recency and frequency. It stores information that can be accessed very fast. In its full condition, it deletes the least frequently used items. This keeps space for new info. The AI prioritises memories as well.
Key benefits for users
The feature saves time in recurrence. You do not repeat the context of every conversation. It increases individualisation in reactions. So, as an example, it reminds you about your work or your leisure activities. Productivity increases on activities such as planning or learning. Full memory no longer has a manual clear. Sorts and searches help to locate old details in a short time. It makes AI look more like a smart assistant.
Controls and customisation options
You remain the controller of the memories. Ask ChatGPT to recall or forget through a chat. The settings enable full deletes or views. To use automatic mode, adjust priorities (when necessary). Re-sort by date or relevance. Switch off memory to have privacy. OpenAI will conduct additions to search stored information. This provides flexibility but not complexity.
Privacy and future implications
Information remains safe through user privileges. Only memories connect with your account. No sharing across users. Fears regarding long-term storage. OpenAI will make additional tweaks depending on the feedback. In the future, automatic management can be extended to free users. It creates a precedent of smarter AI interaction. Keep up with changes in technology.
