Summary

OpenAI’s personalization leads, Christina Kaplan and Samir Ahmed map the shift from an “assistant with a notebook” to Pulse—the part of ChatGPT that quietly preps your day while you sleep. We unpack how short- and long-term memory work across sessions and why April’s subtle update changed the experience, show how daytime chats stay aligned with overnight prep, and close on the big questions: privacy, consent, and why this is an assistant/representative—not a digital clone. ------ 💫 LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE https://pod.link/1813210890 https://youtube.com/watch?v=cDrllt2zn5M ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 1:03 Why Memory Mattered 6:00 User Reception 9:45 Under the Hood: Short vs Long Term 12:20 Behavior Shift & Data Strategy 20:26 What is Pulse? ------ RESOURCES Christina Kaplan https://x.com/ChristinaHartW Samir Ahmed https://x.com/PageOfSamir ------ Not financial or tax advice.

0:00.0	Hey, Bankless Nation, we got some extra bonus content for you here on the podcast feed.
0:07.6	This is an episode from Limitless, our sister podcast that focuses on AI and Frontier Tech.
0:13.4	If you remember earlier this year, we were just doing a ton of AI content on bankless
0:17.0	just because AI is supremely interesting and worth paying attention to.
0:20.4	But we were making
0:21.6	so much AI content that it just started to crowd out all of the crypto content that we also wanted
0:26.6	to keep doing. So we made a second podcast called Limitless and you should go subscribe to it.
0:32.9	The episode from Limitless that you're about to hear right now is with Limitless host,
0:36.6	Jaws, and I as we interview two OpenAI team members who are in charge of memory and personalization
0:41.5	of Chatchabutee. They're the ones who helped Chatchabuti evolve from just a dumb
0:46.8	LLM chatbot to your personal assistant who can remember everything about you and make
0:52.1	guesses about your interests and just overall be helpful
0:55.5	and perhaps be a friend rather than just an inert chat bot. It's not often that OpenAI team members
1:01.9	go on podcast. We are very privileged to be able to host Samir and Christina to get all of our questions
1:06.6	answered about our favorite little chat assistant and what is going to be able to do for us
1:10.8	in the future. So I hope you enjoy this episode from Limitless. If you do enjoy it, make sure to
1:15.8	click the link in the show notes to go subscribe to the Limitless podcast so you can say up to date
1:20.2	with the rapidly evolving world of AI. So let's go ahead and get right into this episode of Limitless.
1:25.6	I'm so excited about today's episode. We are joined
1:28.4	by Christina Kaplan and Samaya Ahmed, who both lead memory and personalization at OpenA.I.
1:35.1	Samaya, Christina, welcome. Thank you. So excited to be here today. Okay, you are both solely
1:42.0	responsible for creating the most valuable moat that's ever been
