With its new “Memory with Search” feature, which is integrated into the chatgpt platform, the OpenAI takes one step further. According to the information contained in the company’s official documents, this feature aims to provide more accurate and binding results by combining the personal information obtained from users from past chats with real -time web searches. Development is the continuation of the latest major updates for Chatgpt’s memory system.
OpenAI has recently offered a memory system that could reference the entire chat history of users. This system, for example, can include this information in new queries, remembering that a user is a vegetarian or living in a particular city. Now, thanks to the “Memory With Search” feature, more personal experiences are provided by matching users’ past preferences and habits and web search results. Thus, for example, a general query, such as “nearby restaurants ,, can be rewritten by the system in the form of“ vegetarian restaurants in Istanbul ”.
How does the feature work and who can access it?
According to OpenAI’s support page, when “Memory With Search” is activated, the Chatgpt analyzes a search command from the user first, and then reshapes the search query considering the information in memory. This process both expands the context of the query and makes the user -specific suggestions come to the forefront. However, this feature is not open to every user by default. Some users reported that they have started to see their feature in their accounts this week through social media.
Although the feature seems to be beneficial -oriented, it brings concerns about users’ personal information. Therefore, users can automatically turn off the “Memory with Search” feature by completely disable the memory function from the Settings menu. Although OpenAI has not yet answered questions about data privacy, it is known that the company has tried to prioritize transparency principles in the past.
In addition, this new approach is considered as part of OpenAI’s effort to strengthen his hand against his rivals. Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude models also have similar memory -based personalization features. This new move of OpenAI aims to make Chatgpt more powerful as both a personal assistant and a source of information.
On the other hand, while the issue of how personal data is processed with artificial intelligence continues to create discussion throughout the world, it remains uncertain for the long -term effects of the “Memory With Search” feature. In any case, this development reveals once again that artificial intelligence -supported vehicles become increasingly integrated and user -oriented.
