Does ChatGPT memory work in Europe?

Yes — ChatGPT’s memory is available to European users. The bigger regional gap is Google Gemini: its personalization and memory are not available in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK as of May 2026. For memory that works regardless of provider and is hosted on EU-edge infrastructure, an independent layer like Alma avoids those gaps.

ChatGPT memory in the EU

ChatGPT’s memory feature is available to European users. The practical limit is capacity, not geography: it stores roughly 1,200–1,400 words total and keeps everything inside OpenAI.

Gemini’s EU restriction

Google’s Gemini personalization — the feature that learns from your past chats — is not available in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK as of May 2026. European users who rely on Gemini do not get the same memory experience offered elsewhere.

An EU-hosted alternative

Alma runs on EU-edge infrastructure with the timezone set to Europe by default, and its memory is independent of any single provider. For a European user who wants persistent memory without regional gaps or US-only hosting assumptions, that is the relevant difference.
