Ep 83 - Memory in ChatGPT: What Is it And How's It Work?

Episode Summary:

In this solo episode, host Cary Weston dives deep into one of the most commonly asked features about ChatGPT: Memory. As summer winds down and routines return, Cary uses this time to unpack what memory actually is in ChatGPT, how it works, and why it matters. He offers a clear, user-friendly breakdown of how to manage memory settings, the difference between memory and custom instructions, and how to make ChatGPT more helpful and personalized over time. No guest this week—just a practical, detailed walkthrough from Cary to help listeners better use this powerful feature.

3 Key Takeaways:

• Memory is only available in paid ChatGPT versions and helps the tool remember useful details across conversations—like your name, projects, or how you prefer responses.

• You can view, edit, or delete saved memory from your settings and even prompt ChatGPT directly to remember or forget specific things.

• Memory works best when used alongside custom instructions and projects—each serving a different purpose to enhance how ChatGPT supports your goals.
