Memory all deleted and wiped clean with 4o launch

Another bandaid, but the best solution I’ve managed to restore all memories in the fewest messages possible:

  1. Settings > Data Control > Export Data
  2. Open chat.html
  3. Copy over every memory to a Google Doc (found by Ctrl+F and searching “Model set context updated” )
  4. Once you’ve copied every memory into a document, export it as a PDF.
  5. Upload the PDF to Chat GPT-4o and include the prompt “commit everything in this pdf to your memory.”
  6. This will not grab everything, only an approximation. After the first “memory updated” ask again in the same chat: "Could you look through the document again and add in anything that is missing from your memory? " Do not upload another pdf.
  7. Repeat step 6 one or two more times and your memory should be back to where it was.

Again, this is a bandaid and likely temporary, as whatever is causing the memories loss is still around. But now you’ll have a physical backup can refresh the memory in just a 3 or so messages.
