Recently, OpenAI announced a revolutionary new feature that allows users to deeply customize how to interact with ChatGPT according to their preferences and needs. This innovative move marks a new era of personalized experiences for AI chatbots. Based on the original custom command menu, OpenAI has undergone a comprehensive upgrade and a series of new options are added to create a more considerate and personalized chat service for users.

Users can now set their nickname, career background, and other personal information they want ChatGPT to know in a brand new menu. What’s even more exciting is that users can also choose specific "personal traits" for ChatGPT, such as "talkable", "encourageous" or "Gen Z style", etc. These personalized settings will help ChatGPT communicate in a more accurate and considerate service experience.
It is worth noting that this new feature runs independently from ChatGPT's memory function. The memory function focuses on the storage and forgetting of user-specific information, while the new menu focuses on shaping the user's interactive style with ChatGPT. OpenAI specifically recommends that users use "self-introduction" to help ChatGPT better understand user needs, thereby providing better personalized services.
Although some users currently report that the new feature is temporarily invisible, this may be just because the feature has not been fully launched yet. For users who have not experienced this feature, these improvements are more reflected in the optimization of interface design than major changes in underlying technologies. The new menu is still based on existing prompt engineering technology, but it greatly improves the user experience through a more intuitive and user-friendly presentation.
OpenAI emphasizes that although users are able to customize the directive content, all content will be strictly reviewed to ensure compliance with the platform's terms of use and security standards. As the user base continues to expand, OpenAI is constantly committed to improving the functions and experience of ChatGPT. In addition to this new feature, the platform also launched innovative features such as real-time web search and a "canvas" interface designed for writing and programming projects. According to official statistics, more than 300 million users are currently using this advanced chatbot every week.
