The smarter AI programs like ChatGPT and Gemini become, the more we’ll want to use them as the virtual assistants they can be. For that to happen, we’ll need the AIs to access information about us from all sorts of apps and remember details about us. We’ll also need to be able to trust companies like OpenAI and Google with increasingly more personal data.
OpenAI was the first to bring memory features to ChatGPT. It happened with Custom Instructions, a feature I’ve used since it became available. About a year ago, OpenAI also added a Memory feature to ChatGPT that allowed it to remember things about users from chats beyond the scope of Custom Instructions. All of this happens with the user’s knowledge, and memories can be deleted at any time. Also, they don’t train the AI if you set your ChatGPT privacy preferences correctly.
Gemini needed more time to get memory features similar to ChatGPT. Google rolled out the first memory features in November, but they’re available to Gemini Advanced subscribers. ChatGPT Memory features are also available to paying ChatGPT users.
However, Google has now improved Gemini’s memory in a way that OpenAI hasn’t. You can tell Gemini to recall information from your previous chats with the AI on a similar topic, which can be handy for picking up a conversation on the same subject.
