Artificial intelligence and natural language technology are revolutionizing the way we interact with chatbots. Now, thanks to the innovative tool called MemoryGPT, this interaction can be taken one step further, allowing chatbots to remember past conversations and use them as context in future conversations.

In this article, we will explore MemoryGPT in depth, a tool that can help increase productivity in various fields. But first, let’s take a look at what MemoryGPT is exactly.

What is MemoryGPT?

MemoryGPT is a chatbot tool that resembles the chatGPT tool, but with one essential difference: it has long-term memory. In other words, MemoryGPT allows users to decide whether they want the conversation to be remembered or not. If the option to remember is chosen, MemoryGPT will store the conversation and use it as context in future conversations.

In summary, MemoryGPT is a very easy-to-use tool that resembles other chatbot tools but adds the possibility of remembering conversations and using them as context in the future. This feature is especially useful in situations where interaction with the chatbot can be very repetitive or in situations where greater efficiency and productivity are needed.

How to use MemoryGPT?

To use MemoryGPT, it is necessary to register on its website using only an email address.

You will receive an email with a magic link to confirm your email. You accept, add your nickname, and you’re done! You are now registered.

Once registered, you can start using the tool. It is worth noting that MemoryGPT is currently in the research phase and is completely free, so users can try it out at no cost. However, there may be some occasional errors.

The MemoryGPT user interface is very simple. It consists of a text box, in the style of chatGPT, where messages can be written and two buttons: one to save the conversation and one to forget it. When a message is sent, MemoryGPT processes the text, and then you decide whether it is relevant or not to save the conversation to be able to use it in the future.

To use MemoryGPT, it is important to note that the tool still has limitations. For example, it can only process a thousand characters, and there may be some occasional bugs. However, considering that it is a new project, the potential behind MemoryGPT is enormous.

How does MemoryGPT work?

MemoryGPT works very simply. First, we have to register on the MemoryGPT website with our email address. Once we have registered, we can start using the tool immediately. The interface is very simple and easy to use, with a section where we can write our messages and two buttons, one to save the conversation and one to forget it.

When we finish a conversation with the chatbot, we can decide whether we want the conversation to be stored in long-term memory or whether we want it to be forgotten. If we decide that the conversation should be remembered, the chatbot will store the information in its memory and use it as context for future conversations.

How to use MemoryGPT to increase productivity?

MemoryGPT has many different uses, but one of the most useful is to increase productivity. Among many other advantages, MemoryGPT will help us to:

  • Save important information One way that MemoryGPT can help you be more productive is by storing important information. If you are like me, you may have many conversations throughout the day, and some of them may be more important than others. With MemoryGPT, you can decide which conversations you want to remember and store. This way, when you need to access that information in the future, you will have an easy and quick way to do it.
  • Save time Another way MemoryGPT can improve your productivity is by saving time. When working on a project, you may need to refer back to information that was discussed in a previous conversation. With MemoryGPT, you can simply search for the relevant conversation and find the information you need in seconds. This allows you to save valuable time that would otherwise have been spent searching for that information in your email or another application.
  • Improve decision making MemoryGPT can also help you make more informed decisions. When you have access to a large amount of information, it can be difficult to know what is relevant and what is not. By storing and recalling important conversations, MemoryGPT can help you identify patterns and trends that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. This allows you to make more informed and strategic decisions.
  • Collaborate with your team Another way MemoryGPT can improve your productivity is by allowing you to collaborate more effectively with your team. When working in a team, many conversations can be generated, and it can be difficult to keep track of all of them. With MemoryGPT, you can store and share important conversations with your team, allowing them to access relevant information and stay up to date on what is happening.
  • Learn from your conversations Finally, MemoryGPT can help you learn from your conversations. When you have access to past conversations, you can see patterns and trends that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. This allows you to learn from your previous conversations and improve in the future.

Let’s see some examples

For a quick first demo, we can write something like this:

“Hello, I’m going to share some information about myself so that you remember it: my name is Mike, my favorite animal is the lion, my lucky number is 22, I love to travel by plane, and I’m a fan of Fernando Alonso. If you can remember all of that, tell me OK.” (sorry images are in spanish).

We send this and it will automatically process and remember it. Then we can tell it to save this conversation and restart the chat.

Now we can ask it to tell us everything it knows about us.

“Can you tell me everything you know about me?” (sorry images are in spanish).

And it automatically says this:

“Of course, Mike! According to my memory, your name is Mike, your favorite animal is the lion, your lucky number is 22, you love to travel by plane, and you’re a fan of Fernando Alonso. Is there anything else you’d like me to remember?” (sorry images are in spanish).

As you can see, despite the simplicity of the example, all of this is tremendously useful and has incredible potential for use in optimizing productivity.

Something more elaborate

If you’re someone who creates content regularly, such as a blogger or writer, you can use MemoryGPT to remember previous conversations you’ve had with the chatbot and use that information as context for future posts. For example, if you have a blog and want to link your old posts to your new posts, you can share the titles and summaries of your old articles with the chatbot and ask it to remember them. Then, in a future conversation, you can ask the chatbot about the articles you previously shared and use that information to enrich your new posts, create new ones from the old ones, improve SEO or interlinking, for example.

Bugs and limitations

As I mentioned earlier, MemoryGPT is still in a beta phase, and as such, there are still some bugs and limitations that should be taken into account. The most relevant ones that I have found so far are:

Prompts

Prompts need to be very detailed and exact: When you intend to use information previously recorded in other saved conversations, usually in the first interaction the chatbot responds by default that it doesn’t remember anything related to that. I have found that by repeating the same question (in a second interaction) where I change the words a bit, it does move forward and remembers everything perfectly.

Number of characters

Only 1000 characters: Another limitation it currently has is that its responses are limited to 1000 characters, so you cannot expect extensive developments in them. However, with the advantage of long-term memory, you can always ask it to continue a conversation that was left unfinished or ask it to give it to you in smaller sections.

Privacy

Concerned about privacy? While MemoryGPT’s long-term memory function can be tremendously useful in many ways, it also raises some concerns about privacy and personal data protection. In particular, the tool can store personal and private information that has been shared in a previous conversation and use it for future contexts. For example, if you use MemoryGPT to remember details about your personal preferences or habits, such as your favorite food or phone number, this information will be stored in the tool’s memory and could be used to contextualize future conversations. While this functionality is useful for keeping a record of personal preferences and habits, it can also be concerning for those who are concerned about the privacy and security of their personal data.

Conclusion

In conclusion, MemoryGPT is a very useful tool that can help you be more productive in your work. By allowing you to store and remember important conversations, you can save time and improve decision-making. You can also collaborate more effectively with your team and learn from your previous conversations. However, if you are concerned about your privacy, this may not be your tool, since its true potential is realized by using it to remember real data that you can reuse in your day-to-day life, and although this data is supposed to be protected, no one guarantees it. In any case, and as long as this last part is not a problem for you, although you can always use fictitious data for testing, if you haven’t tried MemoryGPT yet, I recommend that you do and experience for yourself all that it can do for you.
