Introduction: ChatGPT Is More Than Just a Chatbot Now
ChatGPT has changed a lot since the last upgrades. It can now do more than just talk. It can now remember your name, preferences, hobbies, and even personal information that you choose to give. This makes your interactions more private effective, and fun.
Here’s how you teach ChatGPT more about you and make your chats more personal if you’re going on vacation, running a business, or just want a friend to talk to all the time.
- Begin with a Simple Intro
The best way to start is to inform ChatGPT your name. You can do this in a discussion or by going to:
Personalize > Memory in Settings
You can add here: Your nickname or name that you like most (like “E-money” for informal discussions)
Names of people or pets that you talk about a lot Life context that will be useful in future discussions This helps ChatGPT reply in a more natural way, like when you call your made-up dragon “Cabbage” after your dog.
2. Share slowly; don’t give too much at once
You don’t have to tell your whole narrative at once. Let information come up naturally in talks instead. This slow method lets ChatGPT remember the most important and significant details, just like making a friend.
For instance: When you ask for suggestions, tell the person what you like to do. When you ask for productivity tools, tell them what you do for a living. When asking for itinerary ideas, talk about your past trips.
3. Be clear when you talk about things that have already happened
Be clear if you’re picking up on something from before. Don’t use terms that are too vague, like: “As we talked about before…“.
Instead, give it a shot:
Last week, we talked about my journey to Spain. “Now I’m getting ready for Portugal. Can you help me with that too?”
This makes it easier for ChatGPT to find the proper memory and give better, more relevant suggestions.4. What do you remember about me?
You may see what ChatGPT knows by typing:
“Do you remember anything about me?”
You can fix something right away if it’s wrong, like if you remember where you are wrong. ChatGPT will remember your most recent preferences and update its memory.
This is especially helpful when your life changes, such when you move to a new city or change jobs.
5. Use the Bio Tool to make your profile unique If you like things to be organized,
The easiest approach to make ChatGPT your own is to change your memory profile through:
Settings > Personalize > Profile Icon
Here, you can say: Your name and job Things you like to do in your spare time Preferred tone of voice, like relaxed, formal, or funny Things you like to talk about, like sports, movies, or TV shows
For example:
Do you love sailing? If you say something about it, ChatGPT might start utilizing nautical terms in its answers.
Why It’s Important to Personalize ChatGPT
Personalizing your AI experience not only saves you time, but it also makes your answers better. If you’re:
1. Making a plan for your digital marketing
2. Writing a blog article (see our guide to blogging success )
3. Planning a trip for the family
4. Getting better at something
When you have a ChatGPT that gets you, everything goes faster, is smarter, and is more fun.
Last Thoughts
It’s easy to teach ChatGPT to remember you; it’s like making a new buddy. You may make every interaction truly unique by delivering important information, going over its memory, and gently guiding it. Take a few minutes to describe yourself and change your preferences. Then let ChatGPT send you messages that seem like they were made specifically for you.
