Feature Proposal: Shared Memory and Collaborative Chat System in ChatGPT

Currently, ChatGPT’s memory is designed for individual users, making collaboration between multiple accounts difficult. While external tools can help share information, they lack direct integration within the platform.

Proposal

A system that allows users to:

  1. Maintain private accounts: Each user keeps their personal interaction with ChatGPT.
  2. Join a shared project: Create a linked project with shared memory and chat.
  3. Access a shared memory: Updates automatically sync across all linked accounts.
  4. Engage in a collaborative chat: Users can participate in a real-time conversation with ChatGPT.
  5. Control privacy: Users share only what they choose, keeping personal AI interactions private.

Key Benefits

  • Privacy-Controlled Collaboration: Users share specific project data without exposing unrelated personal information.
  • Seamless Synchronization: Updates to the shared memory and chat instantly reflect across linked accounts.
  • Improved Efficiency: Teams, families, and study groups benefit from AI-assisted collaboration with a shared context.

Use Cases

  • Family Coordination: Parents and children organize meal plans, schedules, and household tasks together.
  • Business Collaboration: Teams work on reports, research, or projects with a unified AI memory.
  • Educational Study Groups: Students collaborate on notes, assignments, and discussions with AI assistance.

Conclusion

This Shared Memory and Collaborative Chat System could revolutionize ChatGPT’s utility, making it a powerful tool for teamwork, education, and family organization.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and discuss how we could bring this idea to life.

Thank you for your time!

Exactly! Touchdown! Have you received any feedback on this yet? I was going to make the same recommendation but found yours before I posted. I can either post basically the same thing or hang out till someone gets back to you. BTW - I can’t believe this isn’t already a feature. Seems obvious.

Thank you! :blush: I haven’t received official feedback yet, but I totally agree—it seems like an obvious feature that could make a huge difference! Feel free to add your own post if you’d like; more visibility might help get OpenAI’s attention. Let’s see if we can push this forward!
