Context is king

ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini all have a place to save standing facts about you. Set it once, and every new chat starts already knowing your name, your role and how you want an answer delivered, instead of starting from zero.

Let's look at ChatGPT.  

01:00–02:00
Step 1 ChatGPT's profile menu with Personalization circled

The profile menu, bottom left. Personalization opens the whole page.

02:00–02:20
Step 2 ChatGPT's Personalization settings page, showing Memory, Custom instructions and Writing sections

Memory, custom instructions and writing style all live on this one page.

02:20–02:40
Step 3 ChatGPT's custom instructions modal, with Nickname, Occupation and More about you fields empty

Nickname, Occupation and More about you. Three empty fields most people never fill in.

02:40–03:00
Step 4 ChatGPT characteristics settings: Base style and tone, Warmth, Enthusiasm, Headers and Lists, Emoji

Base style and tone, Warmth, Enthusiasm, Headers and Lists, Emoji. Five dropdowns, no upgrade required.

Let's review those fields

SettingWhat it does
NicknameWhat ChatGPT calls you. Nothing more.
OccupationThe model will speak to your title. A junior may get more explanations; it will go deeper for a senior expert.
TraitsClickable options like Chatty, Witty or Skeptical stack together. They change voice, never accuracy.
Base style Choose from: Professional, Friendly, Candid and more. It changes phrasing and pacing, never the result.
MemoryAs you work, ChatGPT saves info about you as you're working or by request. Correct, add or delete it!
