ChatGPT has moved memory retrieval away from static memory files to wider context retrieval. Because of this, I have just initiated a Data export, which can take up to 7 days to compile. You can do the same: 1. Open ChatGPT → Settings. 2. Select Data controls. 3. Find Export data and click Export. 4. Select Confirm export. 5. Open the email from OpenAI and download your ZIP archive. What you'll receive: The archive includes your conversation history and other account data. Exports can contain a conversations.json file, which is particularly useful because it allows programmatic processing rather than manually copying conversations. I shall use my conversations as training data for building my own model, "Brian", my brain.
