Stop re-introducing yourself to AI every time

Every new chat, you explain it all again — who you are, what you do, how you like things written. Next day, blank slate, you do it all over. It's like having a brilliant assistant with no memory. Exhausting, isn't it? Good news: you never have to do it again.

Zac wearily re-introducing himself while Zax looks blank and forgetful — "Hi, I'm Zac, I…" — again. There's a better way.

The big AI tools now let you set your context once — and they carry it into every chat. Most beginners never turn this on, and it's quietly the biggest time-saver there is. Two ways to do it, easiest first:

Two ways to make it remember you

The "about me" you paste (works everywhere). Write a few lines about yourself — your job, what you're working on, how you like answers — and paste it at the top of a chat. We call it a ME.md. It works in any tool, even a free account.
Built-in memory / custom instructions. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini all have a settings box where you save your stable preferences once. Fill it in, and every future chat starts already knowing you.

Zac hands Zax a small about-me card and Zax lights up in recognition — Hand it your ME.md once — and it stops guessing, starts knowing.

What to put in your ME.md

Keep it short — five lines does it:

What you do / your situation.
What you're usually working on.
Who your stuff is normally for.
How you like answers (plain? short? UK spelling?).
Anything it keeps getting wrong about you.

Set it up once and you get a better answer in every single chat, forever. Ten minutes now, hours saved later.

One thing you can stop worrying about

Starting from scratch. You were never meant to re-explain yourself every time — that was never the deal. Set it once, and you've basically given your AI a memory.

Try it right now

Open a note and write five lines about you (see the list above). Save it as your ME.md. Paste it at the top of your next chat — and feel the difference when it isn't flying blind.

Zac and Zax working in sync like an old team who get each other — This is what it feels like once it actually knows you.
