Summary:
Improve the ChatGPT desktop application to better deal with writing and note-taking tasks (similar to GitHub Copilot) by enabling:
-
Local Markdown Editing: Open, edit, and save Markdown (.md) files directly in the Canvas.
-
Directory Context Awareness: Use all files in a selected local working directory as context for smarter, more relevant context for the model. Including the created / edited .md files
-
Custom Instructions: Support for a .chatgpt-instructions.md file in the local folder for project-specific AI guidance, aligning responses with writing styles or contents.
Why Improve:
GitHub Copilot excels at integrating with workspaces, providing tailored, context-aware suggestions. ChatGPT should match and enhance this experience by improving contextual awareness, personalization, and workflow integration.
Especially useful for complex writing tasks with lot of context. Memory and Projects features are useful but not enough for serious work.
