ChatGPT can now keep tabs on what you’re up to in case you need reminding later

OpenAI has unveiled a new feature for ChatGPT called "Computer History." This feature, available to Mac users on ChatGPT Pro, Business, and Enterprise, records user activity across websites and apps. The data collected is then transformed into memories and a timeline that the AI can reference later. OpenAI has also recently upgraded its GPT-5.6 models, enhancing accuracy, reasoning adaptability, and reducing irrelevant information.

It achieves this by logging user interactions on various platforms, compiling this information into a personalized timeline that the chatbot can draw upon for future interactions.
