An option to save temporary chat

Why an option to save temporary chat?

  • No doubt, temporary chat is a great feature, and its speciality is not to save the chat. I am a developer, and I often use ChatGPT to quickly research and solve common problems. Sometimes I got know about something new stuff and I want to keep it. In that case, I have to copy the chat and keep it somewhere else. And if the chat is long, it’s a waste of time.
  • Again, it’s the default behaviour of ChatGPT to keep suggesting new stuff or assistance, which potentially keeps me engaged with it. But what if I got something interesting I have no option to store it.
  • After all, ChatGPT can keep chats for up to 30 days, so why is there no persisting option?
  • Some minor things I want to bring to your notice:
    1. The validity of a temporary chat is unpredictable, which sometimes problems me if I leave the chat for a certain time.
    2. Temporary chats are not used for model training. I think there should be an option for model training, and it should be based on user’s preferences to provide a better user experience.
    3. What about persisting a chat as fragments. After all, we often use ChatGPT in a question-answer way, so if we can save the chat as a fragment of a question and its answer, it must be a great choice.

All these are my personal thoughts and preferences but providing an option to save temporary chat would be a great feature.

Please consider adding this feature. This happens a lot where I start with a temporary chat and would like to make it permanent. Without the current hassle of extracting/copying it out of the temporary chat and pasting the content into a new permanent chat manually.
