I would like to suggest a feature that allows ChatGPT to branch a conversation into two separate threads when multiple distinct topics arise from a single discussion.
Currently, in the browser version, users can create new branches by editing a prompt, switching models, or regenerating responses. However, these branches are not automatically created based on topic differentiation, and switching between branches is not available in the native ChatGPT apps (MacOS, iOS, Android, Windows).
Suggested Improvements:
- Automatic Thread Branching:
- When two distinct topics appear in a conversation, ChatGPT should be able to automatically create separate branches while maintaining context.
- This would prevent conversations from becoming mixed and make it easier to manage multiple inquiries.
- Tree-Style Visualization of Threads:
- Instead of just displaying different branches as separate threads, a tree-style visualization (similar to version control systems like Git) would help users easily navigate and manage their conversation history.
- This would allow users to clearly see how different conversation paths have diverged.
- Support for Native Apps:
- Bringing branch-switching and visualization to MacOS, iOS, Android, and Windows apps would create a seamless experience across all platforms.
Would this be something OpenAI could consider implementing? I believe it would greatly enhance usability for users who handle complex discussions with multiple topics.
