Memory Customisation

Some important points

From the quotes below and with a little assumption there appears to be some Hierarchy to Memory…

I included 2 details panels above ‘Customize ChatGPT’ (Settings rather than ‘Memory’ but about same difference) and ‘Memory Customisation’ (ChatGPT Memory and Chat History Memory)

Hierarchy

Customize ChatGPT Settings - Always Considered Every Message

ChatGPT Memory - Always Considered (If Relevant To Prompt) Every Message

Chat History Memory - Some Details Considered (If Relevant To Prompt) Every Message

** Backup and Restore **

Hierarchy

Customize ChatGPT Settings - Manual

ChatGPT Memory - I think Select/Copy/Paste and then individually add after?

Chat History Memory - There is a backup option for chats, sent to email but No Restore afaik? (Though you can archive chats)

Deletion Delay

Open Questions I cant find reference to

Determining Relevance
Ranking Memories ie Hierarchical Method or marking as ‘Important’
