What is Ad-hoc Chat in ChatGPT? Use Your Conversations Without Saving them to History
Turn on Ad-hoc Chat in ChatGPT! Don't let your conversations appear in history
Content
You want to ask ChatGPT a question, but you don't want the conversation to appear in your regular chat history. Maybe you are preparing an instruction that you will use only once, or you want to get information about a personal matter.
In such cases, ChatGPT's Temporary Chat feature might come in handy.
According to OpenAI's current help documentation, Transient Chat does not appear in regular chat history, does not create new memories or update existing memories, and is not used to improve models as long as it remains transient. However, a copy of the chat may be retained for security purposes for up to 30 days. OpenAI Help Center
What does Ad-hoc Chat do?
This feature is useful when you want to keep a particular conversation separate from your regular chat history.
For example:
- Getting help with a one-time issue
- Having a conversation you don't want in your past
- Working on a new idea
- Turn off personalization when you do not want your existing memories to be used in a new conversation
However, this feature does not mean that any data storage or data sharing with third parties is completely eliminated. Particularly if tools linked to external services are used, the data policies of the relevant services may also apply. OpenAI Help Center

3. What is the difference between Ad-hoc Chat and regular chat?
| Feature | Normal chat | Temporary chat |
|---|---|---|
| Do not appear in chat history | Normally visible | Invisible as long as it remains temporary |
| Creating new memories | May depend on memory settings | Does not create or update new memory |
| Use for model development | Depends on data settings | Not used as long as it remains temporary |
| Storage for safety | Subject to applicable data retention rules | Copy may be retained for up to 30 days |
These distinctions are explained in OpenAI's Ad Hoc Chat and data controls documentation. OpenAI Help Center
4. Does Temporary Chat use your existing memories?
There is an important detail about this.
OpenAI can provide personalized or non-personalized usage options before the ad hoc chat begins.
In personalized use chat can draw on existing memories and specific instructions. However, as long as it remains temporary, it does not create new memories or update existing memories.
In non-personalized use, existing memories, special instructions and add-ons are not used for personalization purposes.
It is important that this choice is made before the conversation begins; According to OpenAI's documentation, you cannot change this preference once the chat has started. OpenAI Help Center
5. Does using Ad-Hoc mean your data is instantly deleted?
No.
Although ad hoc chats do not appear in the regular chat history, OpenAI may retain a copy for security purposes for up to 30 days. Therefore, you should not consider this feature as a guarantee of instant deletion from every system. OpenAI Help Center
Additionally, if data is sent to an external service in a conversation, that service's own storage and privacy rules may apply.
Therefore, be careful, especially with sensitive information. Just because you use ad-hoc chat doesn't mean you have to share passwords, ID numbers, or other confidential information.
6. What if you want to hide the conversation?
If you decide to save a temporary conversation for later, you can use the save option.
According to OpenAI's statement, saved temporary chat becomes normal chat history and is subject to your account's normal personalization and model development settings. OpenAI Help Center
Result: Ephemeral Chat is useful for conversations that you do not want to appear in the regular chat history. But don't think of this as complete anonymity or instant deletion. Also review personalization and data controls based on your privacy needs.
