OpenAI gives ChatGPT a memory of Mac activity

OpenAI has introduced an opt-in macOS feature called Computer History, which allows ChatGPT and Codex to draw on a record of activity across selected applications and websites. This feature extends AI memory beyond conversations and into users' everyday computer workflows by creating memories and a chronological timeline from interaction events generated as people type, click, switch applications, and navigate websites.

Users can subsequently ask ChatGPT about work they were doing earlier, retrieve context surrounding a document or project, or allow Codex to use that information while completing tasks. The system records interaction events rather than screenshots, screen recordings, microphone input, or system audio, making it distinct from previous approaches to computer memory.
