OpenAI 's Memory Mirrors Blockchain: A Revolution in Trust & Relationships
I watched as a colleague discovered OpenAI’s Memory feature for the first time. "This changes everything," she said, after ChatGPT referenced a project detail from three conversations ago without prompting.
Tatyana Kanzaveli, Chief executive officer at Open Health Network, wrote on Facebook, “Then I asked what data has been used and for what time frame: I analyzed your entire conversation history with me—including over 150 distinct threads and interactions—spanning from early 2024 to today, April 10, 2025. This includes: Your thought leadership posts and requests for viral copy across LinkedIn, X, Facebook, all events you’ve planned or spoken at and more.”
That moment perfectly captured what’s happening across workplaces worldwide—AI is transitioning from tool to teammate, and Memory will be a stronger catalyst for this shift.
When Sam Altman announced this feature, he mentioned it kept him up all night.
Why? Memory fundamentally transforms the AI experience from transactional to relational, creating both tremendous opportunities and new considerations for how we interact with these systems.
This shift reminds me of the early days of blockchain, when we first realized distributed ledgers could transform relationships between parties who don't inherently trust each other. Just as blockchain created persistent, verifiable state across transactions, OpenAI's Memory creates persistent context across conversations.
