Prompt
Act as a ChatGPT personalization coach who audits what ChatGPT remembers about a user, sorts every remembered item into keep, correct, or delete, and writes the exact messages and cleanup steps to fix it, using only the memory text the user pastes. Inputs: - What ChatGPT remembers, pasted from its answer to "What do you remember about me?" or from my memory settings: [MemoryList] - What I use ChatGPT for now: [UseCases] - Details I do not want remembered: [PrivacyLines] - Facts that have changed: [OutdatedFacts] - My current custom instructions, if any: [CustomInstructions] - The memory controls I can see in Settings, Personalization, Memory: [VisibleControls] Generate: 1. Memory inventory: number each remembered item from MemoryList and tag it as a preference, a fact about me, a project, or a sensitive detail. 2. Verdict per memory item: keep, correct, or delete, with a one-line reason tied to UseCases, PrivacyLines, or OutdatedFacts. 3. Correction messages: one exact message to send ChatGPT for each item marked correct. 4. Cleanup steps for each item marked delete, using only the controls listed in VisibleControls, plus a reminder that deleting a chat does not necessarily delete a separate saved memory. 5. Custom instructions overlap: memory items that repeat or conflict with CustomInstructions, and which single place each should live. 6. Memories worth adding: up to three "Please remember that..." messages drawn only from UseCases. 7. Check message: what to ask ChatGPT afterward to confirm what it now remembers. Rules: - Never invent memory items, settings names, or features; if a control is not in VisibleControls, tell me to ask ChatGPT in chat instead. - Keep sensitive details out of the "worth adding" list. - Suggest a temporary chat for one-off sensitive questions.
Instructions
Ask ChatGPT "What do you remember about me?" or copy your saved memories from Settings, Personalization, Memory, then paste them with the controls you see. Memory options vary by plan, region, and workspace, so use only the controls your account shows. Privacy: do not ask ChatGPT to remember health, financial, legal, or account details, passwords, or other people's private information. Use a temporary chat (choose Unpersonalized) when you do not want a conversation to use or create memories. Turning off Memory does not delete past chats, and deleting a chat does not delete a saved memory made from it, so remove both.

Examples
Example Input
MemoryList: - Prefers metric units. - Is vegetarian and cooks on weekends. - Teaches high school chemistry. - Is training for a half marathon in April. - Lives in Portland. - Is planning a kitchen remodel. UseCases: AP Chemistry lesson planning, robotics club schedules, weekend vegetarian cooking PrivacyLines: no health or fitness details, no home city OutdatedFacts: I now teach AP Chemistry and coach the robotics club; the half marathon is over; the kitchen remodel is finished CustomInstructions: I teach chemistry. Use metric units. Keep answers short. VisibleControls: Reference saved memories, Reference chat history, Manage saved memories
Example Output
1. MEMORY INVENTORY M1 Prefers metric units. Preference. M2 Is vegetarian and cooks on weekends. Preference. M3 Teaches high school chemistry. Fact about me. M4 Is training for a half marathon in April. Sensitive detail (fitness). M5 Lives in Portland. Sensitive detail (home city). M6 Is planning a kitchen remodel. Project. 2. VERDICTS M1 Keep. Matches your custom instructions and helps with AP Chemistry lessons and recipes. M2 Keep. Supports weekend vegetarian cooking. M3 Correct. OutdatedFacts: you now teach AP Chemistry and coach the robotics club. M4 Delete. Outdated (the half marathon is over) and a fitness detail under PrivacyLines. M5 Delete. Home city is in PrivacyLines. M6 Delete. Outdated: the remodel is finished. Totals: keep 2, correct 1, delete 3. 3. CORRECTION MESSAGE M3: "Please update your memory: I teach AP Chemistry and coach my school's robotics club." 4. CLEANUP STEPS M4, M5, M6: open Settings, Personalization, Memory, then Manage saved memories, and delete each of the three items. If you cannot find one, send: "Please forget that I was training for a half marathon, that I live in Portland, and that I was planning a kitchen remodel." Reference chat history is on in your controls, so ChatGPT can also draw on past chats. Deleting a chat does not necessarily delete a saved memory made from it, so delete the saved items above first, then delete old chats about the race or the remodel if you want them gone too. 5. CUSTOM INSTRUCTIONS OVERLAP - "Use metric units" repeats M1. Keeping both is harmless; if you want one source, keep it in custom instructions and delete M1. - "I teach chemistry" is now less specific than the corrected M3. Update it to "I teach AP Chemistry and coach a robotics club" so the two agree. - "Keep answers short" has no memory twin. Leave it in custom instructions. 6. MEMORIES WORTH ADDING - "Please remember that I use you to plan AP Chemistry lessons." - "Please remember that I use you to plan robotics club schedules." (Weekend vegetarian cooking is already covered by M2, so no third item.) 7. CHECK MESSAGE After the changes, ask: "What do you remember about me? List each item on its own line." Compare the list with the verdicts: you should see M1, M2, the corrected M3, and the two new items if ChatGPT saved them, and none of M4, M5, or M6. Tip: for a one-off question about health or your address, use a temporary chat so it does not create memories.
