Many people are unaware that ChatGPT is remembering aspects of their conversations, and building a profile on the user.
This can be good if you hate repeating yourself, or bad if you feel some kinda way about privacy.
Open your ChatGPT page or app, and control ChatGPT’s memory!
Either…
- Directly in the conversation: You can tell ChatGPT to remember something by explicitly stating it, or you can ask it what it remembers to review or modify its understanding.
- In settings: Navigate to Settings > Personalization > Manage Memory to view, delete, or clear all memories.

For Gemini, chats are remembered for a specified time (currently 18 months) unless you go in and delete each one. However there is also an area to enter specific details about your life for Gemini to remember across all chats, under Settings & help > Saved info.
