Hi, I’ve created a Project to work on a specific task. I assumed that every chat inside the folder would share data and info across all new chats, but in my test, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Am I wrong? If ChatGPT can’t reference all chats within the project, I honestly don’t understand what the purpose of this feature is supposed to be. Fab ---

After some testing, I can answer myself: definitely not and that’s a big limitation. ---

Yes, it’s a major disadvantage to create projects that can’t share context between chats. What I do is share the entire chat in the new conversation to provide it as “context”. ---

I had to restore my project-related chats so I can refer to them just by their names. What I’d really like is a simple folder system to organize chats by name, instead of having to manage a long, ever-growing list over time. ---

I must correct myself today I found evidence that chats within a project can access and be aware of each other, I don’t know if OpenAI changed something. ---

The enhanced project memory feature (June 2025) extracts **contextual insights only** from previous chats within the same project to deliver more relevant responses. However, this does not mean that specific information is automatically shared across different sessions within the project.
