ChatGPT is getting a new feature designed to make interactions more personalized by remembering activity across the apps and websites you use on your computer.
The feature, called Computer History, is available through the ChatGPT desktop app. It allows ChatGPT to use information from your computer activity in future interactions, so you may not need to repeatedly explain what you were working on or provide the same context again.
ChatGPT can now remember your activity across the apps and websites on your computer.

With Computer History enabled, future conversations can take your previous activity into account and provide responses that are more relevant to what you have been doing. This is intended to make interactions feel more seamless and reduce the amount of background information users need to provide manually.
