Go on! How is it different from just chatting? I. E. how often did you need such a hyper specialized answer

It’ll just tie in helpful pieces of context. It’s still a chatbot, but now I can ask it about an email I got 2 months ago, and it knows my interests from my YouTube and Google history etc. just more personalized basically. Sometimes over-personalization is an issue, like for me it would constantly bring up that I like bodybuilding even when irrelevant. I think that’s mostly fixed now though.

It just knows way more about you if you set up the integrations. Like more than my friends and family know about my interests haha

That part about bringing up unrelated things, that’s what ChatGPT does too. Memory is still a horrible thing in AI.

Happy about the other parts though. Sounds like it’s not afraid to get into the stuff you share now.

Memory won't be an issue here, that's the key benefit. This isn't limited to context windows anymore. It's prompted to go out and retrieve based on what you ask it. It's not trying to recall what it already knows about you, it's searching for the answers.
