OpenAI Tests a New Memory Upgrade Feature That Could Improve ChatGPT

OpenAI seems to be testing a new “Memory Search” feature for ChatGPT, a function that would allow users to retrieve information previously stored in ChatGPT’s memory via direct queries — instead of scrolling through a long list manually. This trial suggests OpenAI could roll out more efficient memory-management tools soon, potentially alongside or ahead of rumored updates (for example GPT‑5.2).

• The “Memory Search” feature aims to let users query their saved memory directly, rather than browsing through memory entries manually.

• The new interface resembles features from other tools (like a browser-based memory search), implying similar user-experience design ambitions.

• The feature has appeared only temporarily — it’s not yet publicly available and seems to be under internal testing or phased rollout.

• This update might be part of a broader push by OpenAI to improve memory handling and retain users, especially as pressure rises from competing AI offerings.

• Speculation about a “GPT-5.2” release is gaining momentum; if launched along with better memory tools, it could mark a significant upgrade for power users and professionals.

For project managers — especially those juggling multiple clients, tasks, or ongoing AI-powered workflows — an efficient memory-search feature in ChatGPT could be a game-changer. Instead of manually tracking prompts, client notes, or project back-and-forths, you could rely on ChatGPT to “remember” and retrieve context quickly. That means better continuity across meetings, faster onboarding for new tasks, and less time lost digging through chat history. As you scale or manage many moving parts (clients, deliverables, team-communicated context), this kind of memory functionality could significantly streamline how you organise and recall project information.

Salesforce Gives Project Managers New AI Tools to Streamline Nonprofit Operations

Salesforce is rolling out a new offering called Agentforce Nonprofit — a suite of AI-powered agents built specifically for nonprofits, integrated into its existing nonprofit cloud platform. The aim is to help nonprofit organizations automate time-consuming tasks like fundraising, volunteer coordination, program management, and donor support. This comes at a time when many nonprofits are under pressure from funding shortages, staff burnout, and rising demand for services.

• Agentforce Nonprofit launches four specialized AI agents for Prospect Research, Participant Management, Volunteer Capacity & Coverage, and Donor Support.

• The Prospect Research agent helps fundraisers research potential donors quickly, integrating with Slack to prepare donor outreach efficiently.

• Participant Management aids case or program managers by summarizing clients’ backgrounds, automating goal-setting, note-taking, and referral flagging.

• The Volunteer Capacity & Coverage agent (in beta) matches volunteers to shifts based on availability, skills, and location — cutting down manual scheduling.

• The upcoming Donor Support agent (beta expected spring) will handle basic donor inquiries automatically, freeing up staff to focus on high-value engagements.

Agentforce Nonprofit represents a meaningful shift for those working in mission-driven or resource-strained organizations: AI becomes a force multiplier, handling repetitive operational work so your team can focus on strategic delivery. Integrating agents into workflows helps stabilize staffing strain, improve responsiveness, and ensure operations scale without overburdening personnel. Especially for nonprofits or small teams, this could dramatically increase efficiency and impact. Read more

• AI-powered assistance & automation — Taskade lets you use built-in AI agents (or create custom ones) to generate tasks from prompts, summarize notes, build workflows, and automate repetitive processes.

• Templates and quick project setup — it offers a large library of templates (project plans, meeting agendas, content calendars, and more), so you can start new projects quickly without building from scratch.

• Cross-platform and synchronized access — Taskade works on web, desktop, and mobile (iOS/Android), with instant sync, so you can keep working and collaborating from anywhere.
