ChatGPT's New "Computer History" Feature Explained

ChatGPT is getting a new feature called "Computer History" that records your activity across websites and apps. This data is then turned into memories and a timeline the chatbot can recall. Here's the thing: this optional feature is designed to learn from what you're doing. For example, you could ask, "What was I debugging yesterday?" and ChatGPT will remind you. What's interesting is that it can also recognize patterns in your work to recommend skills and automations. Computer History will be available for Mac users on ChatGPT Pro, Business, and Enterprise. While it sounds similar to Microsoft's Windows Recall, OpenAI says its feature only records interaction events using operating-system activity and accessibility data, and it does not capture your screen or audio. You can also choose which apps and websites contribute to these events. The bottom line: this feature aims to make future interactions with ChatGPT more personalized and require less explanation.
