Make your assistant remember you
Type your business facts once, not every time.
What memory is
With memory on, the assistant keeps notes about you between chats: your business, how you like things written, what you asked before. It uses those notes next time.
It isn’t a safe
Never let it remember passwords, card numbers, or a customer’s private details.
Where the switch is
Each one keeps its memory setting in a different place.
ChatGPT Settings, Personalization, Memory Claude Settings, Memory. On from the start on Free, Pro, and Max Gemini Settings & help, Personal Intelligence. Personal accounts only Grok Remembers past chats; SpaceXAI’s help pages don’t show the switch Tell it what to keep
Say “Remember that we’re a plumbing company in Reno and I want replies short.” Then ask “What do you remember about me?” to check it stuck.
A chat it won’t remember
ChatGPT and Gemini call it a Temporary chat, Claude an Incognito chat, and Grok a Private Chat. It stays out of your chat history, though the maker keeps a copy for up to 30 days.
