Key Points:
- ChatGPT’s macOS desktop app introduces Computer History, an opt-in feature that tracks user actions to create a timeline for personalized automation suggestions and task reminders.
- Users can exclude specific apps and websites from being tracked, and have the option to delete individual entries for greater privacy control.
- The feature automatically ignores activity in incognito or private browser tabs, ensuring sensitive browsing remains unrecorded.
- Unlike Microsoft’s Windows Recall, which uses screenshots, Computer History captures only event data, avoiding the collection of images, videos, or audio.
- A demo showed the app retrieving recent documents, checking sharing status via Slack, and summarizing user activity, highlighting its potential to enhance productivity.
