By skyforbes Serious question for power users:
How are you handling personal context with ChatGPT today?
Stuff like:
- who you are
- what you like / don’t like
- how you think / decide
- your routines, constraints, preferences
Right now I feel like I’m doing this over and over:
“Here’s my background, here’s my situation, here’s my style, this is my favorite …”
I’ve tried:
- Custom Instructions → good, but too static for real life
- Copy/paste “mega prompts” → messy & fragile
- Separate docs / Google pages → always exposes more than I want
- Manual re-explaining → slow and tiring
Curious:
- Do you have a better system?
- Do you store some kind of “profile” somewhere?
- Or do you just accept that every chat starts from zero?
I got so annoyed by this that I started building a chrome browser extension to bring a personal profile into prompts (stored locally, you choose when to use it) — but I’d love to hear how you do it today before I go too deep in one direction.
