ChatGPT Projects now have their own separate memoryIt stops your projects interfering with the rest of ChatGPTAvailable now in the web interface and coming to iOS and Android in a few weeks<\/p>\n

ChatGPT Projects are ways to keep all your work on a particular subject in one place. If you create a new project then you can group together chats, files you\u2019ve uploaded, and custom instructions all in one place.<\/p>\n

Say, for example, that you\u2019re planning a trip to go kayaking in the Florida Keys. Instead of having all your conversations about the trip, discussions of routes, and places to say spread all over your ChatGPT chats list, you can group them altogether in a Project, so you can easily refer to them later.<\/p>\n

Saved memories<\/p>\n

OpenAI has just added a new feature that affects ChatGPT\u2019s memory in relation to projects. So, if we use our Florida Keys tips as an example, it could be that one of your party is a vegetarian, so you can ask ChatGPT to remember within the project that it should always recommend restaurants that have good vegetarian options.<\/p>\n

When you get back to your normal ChatGPT conversations, this memory wouldn\u2019t be helpful, so now there\u2019s a way to confine that memory to the project.<\/p>\n

Starting a new project is easy \u2013 you just click on New Project in the left hand menu on the web interface.<\/p>\n

When you open a new project click on \u2018More options\u2019 then change Memory from Default to Project-only and you\u2019re good to go. ChatGPT will now draw context only from conversations already in the project and your previous saved memories from outside the project will have no effect on what\u2019s inside the project.<\/p>\n

There is one thing to check first though, for this to work, ChatGPT\u2019s memory must be enabled in Settings. Go to Settings, then Personalization then Memory and make sure Reference Saved Memories is turned on.<\/p>\n

Currently Project-only memory is only enabled for ChatGPT in the website and in the Windows app, but it\u2019s coming to iOS and Android versions of the app in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

With Project-only memories, your projects can now become the tightly-focused and self-contained islands of thought they were always designed to be.<\/p>\n
