OpenAI has updated ChatGPT with a new feature called "Custom instructions", which allows users to share information that they want to be remembered for each conversation.

The way it works currently is that you need to define the context for each conversation you start with the AI chatbot, and once it is over, the chatbot forgets about it.

Custom instructions allow you to tailor ChatGPT to more specifically understand you, for example, "a teacher crafting a lesson plan no longer has to repeat that they're teaching 3rd-grade science. A developer preferring efficient code in a language that’s not Python – they can say it once, and it's understood".
