ChatGpt has gotten a big memory upgrade. This may be the biggest step towards not just chatbots, but what actually feels like a smart assistant. Openai announced today that ChatGpt will browse through your entire chat history to respond more naturally, understand your preferences, and remember what’s actually important to you.
Whether you’re writing, learning, or simply looking for advice, it brings more context to the conversation, just like talking to someone who actually listens. For many, this feels more like a leap towards artificial general information (AGI) than a feature update.
Openai has confirmed the update for X.
“From today, CHATGPT’s memory can browse all past chats to provide more personalized responses, eliciting preferences and interests, and making writing, advice, learning and more useful.”

Until now, CHATGPT could only remember the limited details that users provide, such as their names, writing styles, and favorite topics stored through existing memory features. This update will push things even more. It’s not just merely remember what you said to it. This remembers everything I said in my previous chat and can automatically apply that context. I don’t start from scratch every time.
ChatGpt can remember everything, but it is almost human-like
This update provides ChatGpt with memory spanning the entire chat history. ChatGpt remembers more than just facts now. It remembers you. Tap the entire conversation history to respond in a way that feels familiar, natural and surprisingly human.
Chatbots that feel like you actually know
This change means chatGpt will now be able to build on previous conversations. Let’s say you asked to write your advice in February and you nurtured another topic in March. If we return to April, ChatGpt still remembers tone preferences and learning goals from these previous chats. As Openai puts it, “The new conversations naturally build on what you already know about you, and feel like they’ve made a smoother and more unique adjustment to the interaction.”
People already realize it. One user, @kimmonismus, shared this on March 28th.
“ChatGpt has improved memory. Now I remember more from the last conversation with you. Memory is a very underrated feature. I love it!”
That was before this feature was officially rolled out. This is when users are waiting for ChatGpt to no longer forget and feel like an actual conversation partner.
CHATGPT Memory Improvement: Users still retain keys
Openai appears to recognize that word memory can raise eyebrows, especially when privacy is in the line. Their posts contain this sense of security.
“As usual, you control ChatGpt’s memory. You can opt out of past chats and full references to memory.
If you have already turned off memory, CHATGPT will not start pulling out old chats unless you change the settings. You can ask what you remember, or you can delete a specific item. Additionally, “Temporary Chat” is still an option for one-time conversations where you don’t want to remember or use contexts.
That level of transparency is important, especially as AI assistants begin to act like long-term collaborators rather than short-term tools.
Who will get it?
Memory upgrades will be deployed to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users on April 10th. In regions such as the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, data regulations require a little more paperwork. Openai says teams, enterprises and EDU accounts will be accessible in the coming weeks. When a notification appears in CHATGPT, you will see that it will be available.
Greater changes in AI behavior
This update doesn’t just make ChatGpt more convenient. It shows the shift in how AI is positioned. Like a machine asking questions, a personal assistant who becomes smarter the more you talk, the smarter you become. Experiences begin to feel constantly, not unfragmented. This is a big deal for people who rely on ChatGpt to brainstorm ideas, study, plan, and work on long-term projects.
Of course, not everyone is excited. Some X users have questioned how much ChatGPT remembers. A post from @Aisafetymemes pointed out in December.
“Deleting a past conversation won’t erase the memories that are remembered from that chat.”
That’s along with what Openai said. Memory is stored independently of a particular conversation. If you want to get rid of something, you need to delete it directly from memory.
Still, the rollout is a bold move. Just as other AI players like Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude try to acquire users with smarter, context-conscious bots, Openai’s memory raises the bar. The real question is whether users will accept this new version of ChatGPT or be amazed by the idea of a chatbot that actually remembers everything.
This movement fits into a larger pattern. On March 31, Openai shared that it plans to release a new Open-Weight Language model with advanced inference capabilities in the coming months. Details are still sparse, but the announcement suggests Openai is actively expanding its approach. We are working on both smarter personal assistants such as ChatGPT and more transparent open models that allow a wider community to build.
Together, these developments show something greater than just a feature update. Openai is steadily shaping its products based on long-term goals (long-term goals) such as context, reasoning, and perhaps one day general intelligence.
For now, ChatGpt Plus and Pro users (external restricted areas) can give new memory a spin. Whether it’s useful or a bit less useful, it’s up to you.
