chatgpt-ux, chat-history, archive, folders, knowledge-management, research, productivity, accessibility
Please add priority folders, categories, and better organisation tools for archived chats.
At present, archived chats can become difficult to retrieve, especially for users who rely on ChatGPT for long-running research, study, career planning, evidence preparation, accessibility support, complaints, governance work, projects, and knowledge management.
The request is for archived chats to be organised using user-controlled categories such as:
- Research
- Study / academic work
- Career planning
- Projects
- Feature requests
- Complaints / appeals / evidence
- Health and lifestyle tracking
- Personal development
- Legal / policy / governance
- Documents and uploads
- High priority / urgent
- Completed / closed
- Follow-up needed
Useful functionality would include:
-
Folder-style organisation
Users should be able to place chats into named folders or categories. -
Priority labels
Chats could be marked as high, medium or low priority, or tagged as urgent, ongoing, archived, completed, or follow-up needed. -
Search by category and tag
Users should be able to search archived chats by theme, date, project, uploaded file, topic, or custom label. -
Pinned archived chats
Some archived chats should be pin-able or quickly accessible without needing to scroll through large histories. -
Project grouping
Related chats should be grouped under a project or workspace, so long-running work does not become fragmented. -
Topic summaries for archived chats
Each archived chat could have an AI-generated summary, key topics, important dates, files discussed, and outstanding tasks. -
Exportable archive index
Users should be able to export a list of archived chats with titles, dates, categories, summaries and tags. -
Accessibility benefit
This would reduce cognitive load and unnecessary navigation for users managing complex work, disability-related administration, studies, professional development or evidence-based records.
This would improve ChatGPT from a simple chat history into a more usable knowledge-management workspace. It would reduce unpaid administrative effort and help users preserve important work over time.
