What they did
1) Retrieve previous family packing lists from Todoist and provide their contents to ChatGPT. State the new destination, season, activities and current family needs. 2) Explicitly remove outdated requirements and add changed ones. For this New York trip, bottles were obsolete, cups were still needed, and a wedding required formal clothes alongside sightseeing shoes and layers. 3) Generate the updated checklist and use it while packing. Review personal exceptions rather than relying entirely on the model's general travel knowledge. 4) When something is missed, write the durable preference as one plain-language memory entry for future chats. The author added that she packs her real wedding rings for formal events despite normally wearing silicone rings.
How it went
The list remembered heels but omitted the wedding rings, which the author forgot on the trip.
Worth knowing
The memory entry was added afterward; the article does not report a subsequent packing test.
