AI Tools Of The Week (February 2026): ChatGPT Cleans Memory, Stitch Builds Apps, Grok Delivers PDFs

AI Tools Of The Week: This week’s featured AI tools address a growing concern among professionals: control and usability. From managing what AI remembers about you, to rapidly turning app ideas into usable designs and code, to fixing AI’s long-standing “last-mile” problem of document output, these tools focus on making AI safer, faster, and more practical.

ChatGPT: Managing & Deleting Sensitive Memory

What Problem Does This Solve?

ChatGPT’s memory feature allows it to recall details from past conversations to personalise responses. While this improves continuity and relevance, it also raises privacy concerns. Over time, the system may retain sensitive personal, financial, or professional information that users would prefer not to store.

Without active oversight, this creates discomfort and potential risk, especially for users discussing confidential work or personal details.

ChatGPT addresses this by allowing users to review and explicitly delete specific stored information, giving them direct control over what the model remembers.

How To Access

Available via ChatGPT settings (ensure “Reference chat history” is enabled).

What ChatGPT’s Memory Feature Helps You Do

• Personalise interactions: Responses adapt based on prior conversations.
• Maintain continuity: Useful for ongoing projects or recurring topics.
• Reduce repetition: Preferences and context don’t need to be re-explained each time.

Example

• Step 1: Ask ChatGPT: “Based on our past conversations, list any potentially sensitive or personal information you know about me.”
• Step 2: Review the response carefully
• Step 3: If something feels sensitive, say: “Please forget my phone number.” (or any specific detail)
• Step 4: ChatGPT updates its memory
• Step 5: Re-run the original prompt to confirm the information is no longer stored

What Makes This Feature Stand Out?

• User-controlled privacy: You decide what stays and what goes
  
• Simple prompts: No technical steps required
• Safer long-term usage: Encourages regular privacy hygiene

Pro tip: Periodically audit AI memory, especially after sensitive conversations.

Google Stitch: Pull Off Prototypes Like A Pro

What Problem Ddoes Google Stitch Solve?

Turning an idea into a working app prototype usually involves multiple handoffs, from sketch to designer to developer. These transitions often lead to misalignment, rework, and delays, especially for founders or small teams without design or coding expertise.

Google Stitch solves this by converting text prompts or rough sketches directly into both UI designs and production-ready HTML/CSS, bridging the gap between design and development in one step.

How To Access

Visit stitch.withgoogle.com

What Google Stitch Helps You Do

• Generate UI from text: Describe your app idea in plain language
• Export seamlessly: Send designs to Figma or code to development environments
• Iterate naturally: Refine layouts using simple prompts
• Test variants: Create multiple design versions for comparison

Example

You want to create a journaling app, but don’t code.

• Step 1: Open Stitch → Select Web or Mobile
• Step 2: Enter a prompt describing layout, colours, buttons, and navigation
• Step 3: Stitch generates a UI mockup instantly
• Step 4: Adjust via follow-up prompts or export to Figma for branding tweaks.

In minutes, you have a shareable, developer-ready prototype.

What Makes Google Stitch Special?

• Powered by Gemini 2.5: Strong UI and layout understanding
  
• Built-in image tools: Adjust visuals using Google’s Imagen
  
• Multi-language support: Automatically localise UI copy
• Free public beta: No-cost access with monthly limits

Grok: Native PDF Generation

What Problem Does Grok's PDF Generation Solve?

AI can generate great content, but turning that content into a clean, usable document is often painful. Users typically jump between chat tools, formatting software, and PDF exporters, breaking focus and wasting time.

xAI Grok fixes this “last-mile” problem by offering built-in PDF generation inside its Grok Studio, one place to draft, refine, and export documents.

How To Access
