# ChatGPT Project Memory I suggest adding a **Project Memory** system that works alongside the existing Account Memory. ## _ **Core Idea** _ Each Project should have its own dedicated memory space that stores information related only to that project. For example: **Account Memory:** - User preferences - General long-term information about the user Project Memory: Story"The Unknown World" - Lore - Character Development - Dialogues Project Memory: Story “Void” - Powers - Lore - Worldbuilding - Characters - Dialogues This would prevent unrelated projects from mixing information and help maintain consistency within large creative or professional projects. ## _ **Visibility and Management** _ Just as users can view and manage Account Memory, each Project should have a way to: - View Project Memory - Edit Project Memory - Delete Project Memory entries - Pin important facts - Remove pinned facts A dedicated Project Memory icon or menu could provide access to these features. ## Memory Allocation To avoid unlimited storage requirements, Project Memory should not create additional memory capacity. Instead, both Account Memory and Project Memories would share the same overall memory quota. Example: If an account has a total memory capacity of 100 units(hypothetically): 1. Total memory: 100 units 2. Suppose Project “The Unknown World” has something stored in the memory of value suppose 30 units, then - Total memory: 100 units - Project “The Unknown World” Memory: 30 units - Space left for Account Memory and other Projects= 70 units. 1. Suppose Project Void has nothing stored in the Memory, then - Total memory: 100 units - Project memory: 0 units - Memory left for normal chats or other projects: 100 units. So, the final illustration based on the above example is: - Total memory: 100 units - Project Memory for “The Unknown World”: 30 units - Project Memory for “Void”: 0 units - Memory space left: 70 units This allows users to decide how their available memory is distributed while keeping storage costs manageable for OpenAI. ## Benefits - Better organization of large projects - Reduced mixing of information between unrelated projects - Improved consistency for long-term work - Easier worldbuilding, research, writing, software development, and other complex projects - More transparency because users can see exactly what a project remembers. ## Optional Enhancement A “Pinned Canon Facts” feature could allow users to mark certain facts as authoritative within a project. This would help maintain consistency when a project evolves over months or years. For example: - Red = 30% - Blue = 35% - Yellow = 35% Pinned facts would be prioritized over older or conflicting information. Pinned facts cannot be rewritten, unless unpinned. ## Financial Situations: - This feature should be available in the free version along with the Premiums as this feature neither gives more memory space to a user nor does it create additional data/memory spaces. - It only divides the General Account Memory into two parts: Account Memory and Project Memories, all of them using the same storage value. - The common storage also ensures that users doesn’t get infinite memory and so number of subscriptions will not change. ### This proposal aims to improve project organization and memory management while respecting practical storage and cost limitations. ---

Hey @[**AfaninZoro**](https://community.openai.com/u/afaninzoro), welcome to the community! This is a helpful suggestion, especially for people using Projects for long-running work. A dedicated Project Memory could make it easier to keep project-specific context separate from general account memory, whether that’s lore, research notes, product details, characters, or development decisions. It also fits with feedback others have shared around better long-term continuity and more control over what ChatGPT remembers inside a Project. I can’t share a timeline right now, but I’ll pass this feedback along internally. - Sunny ---
