Washington, USA: OpenAI has unveiled a new feature in the ChatGPT application for macOS computers that enables artificial intelligence (AI) to learn from a user's activity on their device, including clicks, keystrokes, and various interactions.

The feature, called Computer History, creates a timeline of user activities that the AI agent can use to learn how users work, continue tasks they have started, and suggest suitable automation actions.

The company affirmed that the feature is optional and does not operate automatically. It also allows users to block specific applications from tracking, review stored data, and delete it, explaining that it does not rely on continuously capturing screenshots, but rather records the events and interactions that occur on the device.
