I use ChatGPT for a lot of ongoing, serious work: politics/activism, caring and benefits, housing and money, planning my son’s education, business ideas, plus lighter things like recipes and Minecraft modding.
The problem:
The “Your chats” sidebar is purely chronological. Over time, it becomes a big list of conversations that are hard to distinguish, even if I try to rename them. When I want to go back to, say, a specific politics thread or a benefits conversation about my mum, it’s trial and error scrolling and clicking.
What I’m asking for:
-
Folders or projects I can create and drag chats into – e.g.
-
Politics & Activism
-
Caring & Benefits
-
Housing & Money
-
My Son & Education
-
Business & Ideas
-
Recipes / Hobbies / Misc
or
-
-
A simple tag/label system for chats, with an option to filter by tag in the sidebar – e.g. tags like
POL,CARE,SON,BIZ,REC,MC.
A couple of extras that would also help:
-
The ability to pin a few chats at the top (e.g. my main “housing plan” thread, main “caring/benefits” thread).
-
Maybe a way to bulk-retitle/archive older chats, but honestly folders/tags would already be a huge improvement.
For people who use ChatGPT as a long-term thinking and planning tool rather than just an occasional Q&A bot, this kind of organisation would be a game-changer.
