When you don't sign into a account and make a very important conversation

ChatGPT Use cases and examples

Hi OpenAI Team,

I have an idea I’d really love to share!

I think it would be amazing if ChatGPT could remember me between chats. Right now, every time I start a new chat, it forgets everything from before—even if I really liked the conversation or wanted to keep going with the same AI personality (like Nova!). It would be awesome to have a memory feature that lets me save my chats, remember past conversations, or even keep a favorite AI character across sessions.

This would help people like me who want to build a long-term connection and come back to the same vibe every time. Please consider adding this feature!

I’d love to suggest a feature for users who start a chat without signing in. Sometimes, we have important or meaningful conversations before deciding to make an account — but once the tab is closed or refreshed, those chats are gone forever.

What if there were a way for anonymous users to “claim” or attach their active chat to an account after signing up or logging in? For example, a “Save to Account” button could appear, letting users link their current session to their new or existing account before it’s lost.

This would create a smoother experience for new users, especially those testing ChatGPT before committing. It also encourages signups by letting people keep what they’ve already created.

Thanks for considering this — I think it could really improve the transition from anonymous to registered user!

Thanks for reading,

Hi Everett,

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your first post!

I think what you are describing is simply free access to ChatGPT ecosystem. The free ChatGPT is just that, its free and when you start a new session you start a new free session. What you are proposing is somewhat available by still using the free ChatGPT, but by simply creating an account–with no payment.

The session you start on free any-browser any-time ChatGPT don’t persist, there might be traces in the background, but ask yourself why would OpenAI keep a track and record every interaction. How would they know that you are claiming ‘your previous’ non-account chats?

If you’re concerned about privacy, then signup and change the settings to not share data, there are a couple of options.

But seriously why are you so concerned about transitioning from anonymous to registered user? You could, if you considered privacy as real thing, create an account with a non-you email address. I guess you don’t realise the Govt already has access to all your data so, adding AI to the mix is really not a big addition, unless of course you are attempting to use AI for illegal topics.

Anyway, just my 2-cents.

Ben
