Description:
ChatGPTs new memory upgrade lets Plus and Pro users instantly revisit
conversations from a year ago  complete with direct links to the original
chats.

FULL STORY

ChatGPT can now remember what you asked it a year ago and show you the exact
conversation. This new memory upgrade for Plus and Pro users turns old chats
into something searchable, permanent, and surprisingly useful. 

Its memory is now so good that you can ask it about that chili sauce recipe
you requested a year ago, and theres a good chance it will find it, complete
with a link back to the exact conversation.

ChatGPT never forgets 

Before the most recent memory upgrade, if you asked ChatGPT what you were
talking about a year ago, it would usually respond with some version of I 
dont actually have a window into your full chat history going back a year,
followed by a handful of fairly ineffectual suggestions involving digging
through your browser history. 

Now, instead, it flashes up a remembering message and then hits you with
exactly what you were asking it a year ago. 

As a Plus user, I just tried it  and its actually pretty impressive. I typed: 

 What was I asking you a year ago? 

What I got back was a detailed breakdown of everything Id been asking it at
the time. Apparently, I was going through a phase of asking ChatGPT to 
analyze Nicolas Winding Refn films. If youve ever watched any of them, youll
probably understand why I needed a bit of help.

Check your sources 

Thanks to the Sources feature in ChatGPT, you can now jump straight back into
those exact chats from a year ago. Click Sources at the bottom of the reply
and a panel opens, showing direct links to the original conversations. 

This is genuinely impressive. Suddenly, chats dont feel disposable any more.
Ive long since moved on from trying to decipher the inner workings of Refns
mind, but it was fascinating to revisit those conversations. 

If youre a Plus or Pro user, you can try this yourself right now. Theres no
need to update ChatGPT  just ask it what you were asking a year ago, and you
might be surprised by what comes back. The feature has rolled out globally to
all ChatGPT Plus and Pro users today.
