Update: OpenAI officially announced this feature a week after some users reported its arrival don’t disappearof the new options. They may have been released prematurely.
OpenAI provides a new way for users to personalize interactions ChatGPTthe company’s AI-powered chatbot.
On Friday, OpenAI announced it introduces a new user interface for ChatGPT’s custom instructions menu, including new ways to customize the chatbot’s features. According to OpenAI, the feature will be available first on ChatGPT.com and the Windows desktop app, and will come to mobile and MacOS desktop apps in the next few weeks.
The new UI will not be immediately available for ChatGPT users in the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland, OpenAI said. tweet on friday.
Some of them users On X ChatGPT announced its availability last week special instructions the menu on the web has been redesigned with new fields. Users can now specify a preferred name or nickname, their occupation, other things they want ChatGPT to know about them, and “features” they want the chatbot to have. OpenAI offers features like “Conversational”, “Encouraging” and “Gen Z”.
It is important to note that this has nothing to do with ChatGPTs memory a feature that allows users to explicitly tell ChatGPT to remember or forget something. Somewhat confusingly, ChatGPT ‘memories’ can be personal details – but they can also include a wider range of information relating to a conversation.
“Introduce yourself to get better, more personalized answers,” reads the updated menu.
The options are not yet visible to this reporter. TechCrunch has reached out to OpenAI for comment and will update this article if we hear back.
Most likely, the new menu is more of an aesthetic tweak than a deep technical improvement. Old custom instructions feature is used What is known as operational engineering to guide the style and tone of ChatGPT. In fact, he “trained” the AI that powers ChatGPT with a paragraph of instructions given by the user so that its responses match those requirements and preferences.
As far as we can tell, the new menu is still based on operational engineering. It just presents it in a more user-friendly way.
OpenAI has previously said it moderates individual instructions to ensure they comply with its terms of use. Presumably this hasn’t changed with the updated customization settings.
OpenAI wanted to polish ChatGPT as its user base grew, adding features like live web search and a “Canvas” interface adapted for writing and coding projects. The company said in December that more than 300 million people use the chatbot every week.
