ChatGPT’s Computer History tracks your clicks and keystrokes
It’s like Windows Recall, but without all the creepy screenshots. (But it’s still kind of creepy.)

ChatGPT’s desktop app on macOS has a new feature called Computer History that turns your actions into training data, learning how you work, suggesting automations, and even picking up tasks you left half done. It uses your activity to build a timeline that ChatGPT and Codex can reference when you make a request.
The feature is opt in, rather than opt out, and you can exclude certain apps and websites from Computer History, and you can delete entries if you want finer-grained control. Ari Weinstein, Product and Engineering manager at OpenAI, said on X that Computer History will automatically ignore content in incognito or private browser tabs.
In a quick demo video, Dominik Kundel, a member of the Developer Experiences team at OpenAI, shows the app looking up the last document he edited, checking if it was shared with people via Slack, and delivering a recap of how he spent his morning.
The feature is definitely reminiscent of Windows Recall, but where Microsoft’s controversial AI feature relied heavily on screenshots, OpenAI says Computer History doesn’t capture images, videos, or audio, instead relying on “events.”

AIHOT 摘要
ChatGPT 的 macOS 桌面应用推出 Computer History 功能，将用户操作转化为训练数据，学习工作方式、建议自动化并接手未完成任务。该功能默认关闭，用户可选择排除特定应用和网站，或删除记录条目。OpenAI 产品与工程经理 Ari Weinstein 表示，该功能会自动忽略无痕或隐私浏览内容。
为什么值得关注
训练数据采集从模型端前移到用户桌面操作，真正影响在于用户需要重新判断哪些应用和操作值得交给助手学习，排除与删除选项让判断可以逐条执行。
工程化解读
从 TopoReduce 的工程视角看，这条信息属于“智能体与自动化”主题。它的价值不只在于一个新产品或新观点本身，还在于说明 AI 系统正在如何影响模型接入、智能体协作、研发流程、基础设施和团队决策。实际采用前，应结合原文确认版本、适用范围、价格和运行条件。

TopoReduce 编辑观察
当 AI 动态进入真实生产环境，团队需要同时关注能力边界、数据来源、调用成本、权限控制和可回滚性。把单条新闻放回完整工程链路中阅读，比只看标题更有助于判断它是否适合自己的产品和工作流。
