Add the right facts about you

Step 1 of 6

Building on last time

Now let's help ChatGPT remember you.

Last time, you named your tool and your task. Nice work. But here is the catch. ChatGPT does not know you. Each new chat starts fresh. So you retype the same facts again and again.

A short "about me" note fixes that. It is just a few lines about your life. You keep these lines handy and paste them in. Think of "paste" as drop the text in.

These are steady facts. A steady fact stays the same most weeks. Your job. Your hours. Who you help. These small facts make the help fit you.

Your roleI run a small cleaning business

Your scheduleI work Monday to Friday

One rule keeps you safe. Leave out anything private. No real names. No address. No phone or account numbers.

And skip the big stuff. For money, health, legal, account, or safety choices, ask a real person you trust.

Buddy says

Think of it like a name tag for ChatGPT. Just the steady facts, nothing private.

The first sort

Keep facts that help. Drop the rest.

Not every true fact helps. Some only put you at risk. So you sort them. To sort means to split into two piles.

Ask each fact one simple question. Does this change the help I get?

Helps the answerI work mostly mornings

Just private, leave outa real name or a clinic

If a fact does not change the help, it is just private. So leave it out.

When in doubt, leave it out. You will reuse this note many times. A risk you save is a risk you repeat.

Buddy says

Names, health, and money facts always go in the "leave out" pile.

Watch a private fact turn safe.

A quick, vague try

I take Bio 110 with Professor Reed on Tuesdays.

Add the who, what & how

A clear request

About me: I take one science class on Tuesday mornings. Now plan two short study blocks for it this week.

What the AI sends back

Here is a simple plan. Tuesday morning: review your class notes for 30 minutes. Thursday evening: try a few practice questions for 30 minutes. Short blocks like these are easier to keep going.

Same idea, but the safe note names no real person and no real class. ChatGPT still plans your study time just fine.

You did it

You made AI's help fit you.

An "about me" note is three to five steady facts that change how ChatGPT helps you.
Keep only facts that help the answer. Strip out every name, number, address, and account detail.
Paste it before a request. But for money, health, legal, account, or safety choices, ask a real person you trust.

Buddy says

Now ChatGPT knows the steady you, with nothing private shared. That's a real, useful skill!
