ChatGPT macOS has added a "Computer History" function, which can record the user's work track. OpenAI has added a "Computer History" function to the ChatGPT macOS desktop application, which can record the user's operating activities on the computer and convert them into a timeline for reference by ChatGPT and Codex, so as to understand the user's working style, provide automated suggestions, and even assist in completing unfinished tasks. This feature uses an active opt-in mechanism, and users can decide whether to enable it, exclude specific applications and websites from recording, and delete existing historical entries. Ali Weinstein, OpenAI product and engineering manager, said the system will automatically ignore content in private browsing or private browser tabs. The demonstration showed that Computer History can help users find recently edited documents, confirm whether files were shared through Slack, and summarize the computer activity that morning. Unlike Microsoft Windows Recall, which mainly relies on screenshots, OpenAI said that this function does not capture images, videos or audios, but builds an activity timeline by recording "events" generated by user operations. From the perspective of product positioning, Computer History further expands ChatGPT's understanding of the user's work context, enabling AI to transform from passively responding to instructions to continuously sensing work status and proactively providing task assistance. It also places privacy control and data boundaries in a more important position. via AI News (author: AI Base)
