OpenAI announced that the ChatGPT desktop app now features Computer History, allowing it to remember user activity across various apps and websites. This enables more personalized future interactions with less need for repetitive context.

Users comparing it to the similar tool Chronicle view this as a major step forward. A previous downside of Chronicle was that GPT rarely utilized it, raising hopes that Computer History will be smarter about invoking relevant history when needed.
