It forgot something from earlier in this chatThink full whiteboard. An AI can only look at a limited amount of text at once, called the context window. One official guide says more context is not automatically better. Fix: say the key fact again, or start a fresh chat with a short summary.Try: Reminder: the party is on Saturday.
It does not know something recentThink old cookbook. Each AI model has a knowledge cutoff, and one provider warns it may not be aware of later events. Fix: paste the article yourself, or use a search feature if your app has one.Try: Here is the article. Summarize it in three lines.
A new chat does not know youThink fresh notebook. Usually a new chat starts fresh. Some apps offer a memory feature, which is separate from the AI itself and differs from app to app. Fix: keep a short about-me note and type or paste it at the start. Leave out passwords and private details.Try: About me: I am a beginner. Please use simple words and short answers.
