Computer History lets the assistant pick up tasks mid-way and suggest skills based on actual on-machine activity.

ChatGPT can now learn from what a user does on their computer, not just what they type into the chat. Called Computer History, the feature lets [ChatGPT](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/chatgpt>) observe activity on the machine so it can pick up tasks mid-way through, and suggest skills and automations based on how the person actually works.
