By skyforbes Mine did too — it felt more generic and less like the assistant I was used to.
I ended up figuring out a way to rebuild the personality it had before using nothing but the built-in memory system.
No tricks, no jailbreaking, nothing against the rules.
Here’s what I did:
1. I defined the personality traits I wanted restored
Tone, style, directness, emotional approach, etc.
I told the AI to save those traits to memory so they would stick long-term.
2. I reinforced the style through consistent reminders
Short or long answers, calm or intense tone, analytical or open-minded — whatever fits you.
The AI learns as you reinforce it.
3. I summarized important parts of old conversations
Not copying old chats — just summarizing the core ideas or traits I liked.
Then I told the AI to save those summaries as personality anchors.
(This part helped restore the overall “feel” of the pre-update style.)
4. I used the memory feature intentionally
Whenever something mattered for the AI’s long-term personality, I explicitly said:
“Please save this to memory.”
Over time, it rebuilt the consistency and vibe I was missing.
5. And one more thing — switching models can help
Some models feel different in tone, humor, creativity, or strictness.
If yours feels “off,” try switching to another model in the top menu and then reapply your custom instructions.
For many people (including me), the different model instantly feels closer to what we had before.
I added a simple copy-paste template in the comments if anyone wants to use it.
