OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT's memory capabilities with a new Computer History feature that allows the AI to remember what users have been doing across selected apps and websites on their Mac. This feature is designed to make ChatGPT more useful when users return to the platform after taking a break. Instead of explaining what they were working on again, users can simply ask ChatGPT to recall a recent activity and easily continue with unfinished workflow. Computer History is being rolled out to ChatGPT Pro, Business and Enterprise users on Mac and it is an optional feature for now. Since it is turned off by default, you will have to manually turn it on to use it.Here is everything you need to know about this feature:About The AuthorAarohy Kapoor is a dynamic content producer and editor, known for creating high-impact, consumer-first content across diverse categories including technology, home decor, health & fitness, food, pet care, sports and everyday lifestyle essentials.
