Don't Let ChatGPT Forget
Sunday, March 16, 2025
Have you ever been mid-conversation with ChatGPT and thought: ‘Wait, it’s totally forgotten what I asked for !?’😅 It’s a common issue, but there’s an easy fix.

Let me introduce you to a game-changing trick: the Tail Generation Pattern.
Here’s how it works:
1. Start with your main task or question
2. Add a ‘tail’ at the end of your prompt that reminds ChatGPT what you’re doing
3. Watch as ChatGPT stays on track, even though long conversations!
For example, without the trick:
You: "Plan a 3-day trip to Rome with attractions and car rental info."
ChatGPT: Gives Rome itinerary and also car rental info
*after several queries*
You: "Now do the same for Paris."
ChatGPT: Gives Paris itinerary, but forgets car rental info
———————————————————-
With the Tail Generation Pattern:
You: "Plan a 3-day trip to Rome with attractions and car rental info. At the end, ask which city I want next and remind yourself about car rentals."
ChatGPT: Gives Rome itinerary with car rental info
"Which city would you like me to plan next? I'll include attractions and car rental information."
*after several queries*
You: "Paris please."
ChatGPT: Gives Paris itinerary, including car rental info + the ‘tail’
