Does ChatGPT remember using new memory function multiple pdf files?

API
1

Hey guys, I would love to know if ChatGPT with the new memory function is also able to remember let’s say 5-6 pdf files which I have uploaded.

I can see a new entry in the memory also I can see that he saved the pdf files but I’m not really sure that it works that way without API.

My goal is that ChatGPT remembers the input of these files so that I can write certain texts and using these pdfs as guideline / foundation.

Would I need to have an API account for that purpose?

Thanks in advance

The feature exists for your use case: Creating a CustomGPT.

Creating a customGPT enables you to:

  • Use the “files” button to upload the PDFs
  • Pre-write the system message (main prompt)
    (e.g. You are an expert in x, ask the user for a question and give an answer using the files provided)

Then instead of launching a Chat, you launch your CustomGPT from the sidebar.

Okay cool.
This is exactly what I did.
But I probably need to change the instruction section of my custom gpt right?
Or at least change the way how the gpt starts.

This might help;

  1. Add to your customGPT prompt:
    Answer using the PDF files provided

  2. Use text files
    Extract the text from the PDFs and upload the text files instead

Thank you sir! Much appreciated.

So you mean uploading a standard txt file instead of the pdf?

I didn’t know that this works better.

Welcome!

Yes - text files work better than PDFs for knowledge, they are easier to process.
