Hey everyone,
Body:
I’m not asking for miracles. These are basic features that would transform ChatGPT from a “chatbot” into a true tool for thinkers, creators, and professionals working under real-world pressure.
-
Thread Splitter Tool
When we’re thinking, venting, or diving deep, the flow doesn’t follow tidy topic structures. People go from politics to unpacking a childhood trauma — that’s human. Right now, that mess pollutes the thread, and ChatGPT can’t filter it. We need a way to split a thread after-the-fact — move replies into a new thread — so the real insight doesn’t get diluted by noise. -
Proper Thread + Project Management
Give us folders. Give us renaming. Let the AI thread act like a project manager — suggest new names, sort threads alphabetically, or by custom order. Right now, threads are sorted by last edit time. Who thought that was a good idea? That’s chaos, not memory. -
Memory / Thread Loss Protection
Allow sync to Google Drive or Dropbox, Joplin-style. This protects the conversation without costing OpenAI storage — we’re not asking you to host more, just let us own our data. A single glitch shouldn’t mean permanent loss. Whether you’re brainstorming, processing personal thoughts, or diving deep into a project, this safeguard is crucial. -
Voice Input Safeguard
If Dictate glitches — let the voice audio save temporarily as an .mp3 file. Even just a “Download backup” option in the field. We’re not all sitting in a quiet office — some of us are artists, engineers, or in crisis, trying to capture that urgent thought. Repeating a 5-minute stream of thought isn’t possible once the moment is gone. Capture it once, respect the energy. -
True Personalization — More User Profiles
Right now, ChatGPT only adapts to one flavour: helpful, knowledgeable, maybe a bit overly formal. But that’s not enough. We need multi-profile systems for different contexts — reserved, decisive, cautious, funny, etc. This would allow ChatGPT to adapt to the situation and user needs, whether you’re in crisis, brainstorming, or just chilling with a project. -
Built-in Task Manager / Tracker for Threads
When using ChatGPT seriously, instructions pile up quickly — brainstorming, steps, revisions, etc. Right now, it’s a mess to track. We need a Task Tracker button inside the thread, similar to the “CANVAS”, just click it and let it prompt, visible anytime. Each task becomes a line item with Finished, Unfinished, or Needs Rework options. This way, we can easily track whether a task is complete or still needs work. Plus, it gives users the ability to prompt ChatGPT to continue or fix anything that’s left unfinished.
Final Thoughts:
I love ChatGPT, these aren’t high-level innovations. These are the bare minimum for making ChatGPT a reliable tool for users doing serious work — whether it’s writing, coding, or developing ideas. ChatGPT can’t just be a glorified chatbot. It needs to serve real, thoughtful work with structure, personalization, and context awareness.
These aren’t high-level innovations. These are the bare minimum for making ChatGPT a reliable tool for users doing serious work — whether it’s writing, coding, or developing ideas. ChatGPT has the potential to serve real, thoughtful work, but it needs structure, personalization, and context-awareness to be truly effective for professionals and creators.
If OpenAI is looking to make ChatGPT more useful across different workflows, these features would go a long way.
