I’d love to give ChatGPT this command:
“Sort my chats by creating projects based on internal content, and move related chats into them. Also use any matching user-created projects.”
With the new Projects feature, we’re finally able to organize conversations into folders—but it’s all manual. For users like me (and many others) with hundreds or even thousands of past chats, there needs to be a smart way to retroactively organize them.
Here’s what this feature could do:
Scan past chat content and detect common themes (e.g., theology, AI, health, politics)
Auto-create named projects based on those clusters
Move chats into those new folders—or into existing ones, if they match
Let users refine the results, reassign as needed, and set project-level default personas
Enable commands like “Sort my last 200 chats” or “Cluster all (specifictitle)-tagged sessions”
This is a natural extension of what ChatGPT already does well: pattern recognition and semantic summarizing. It would make the new Project feature truly scalable and unlock enormous value for researchers, writers, and serious users.
I’m already doing this manually. It works, but it doesn’t scale.
