[Feature Request] Let Users Control When Memory, Pandas, and Canvas Are Activated β With Support for Default Option Settings
Dear OpenAI Team,
As a long-time and frequent user of ChatGPT, I deeply appreciate the remarkable progress youβve made in building such a powerful platform. That said, I would like to offer a structural suggestion that stems from a growing frustration Iβve encountered during daily use: a lack of user control and persistent default options.
Why default settings matter β a comparison from everyday software
To illustrate: when using Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader, I can predefine basic behaviors such as:
- Default zoom level when opening a file
- Window size upon launch
- Whether to resume from the last page or always start from the beginning
These user-configurable defaults allow me to save time and avoid repetitive adjustments β making the software feel responsive and respectful of my preferences.
In contrast, ChatGPT currently lacks such mechanisms. Users are often subject to automatic behavior that cannot be overridden, which undermines the sense of being in control of the tool.
Below are three major examples where control should be returned to the user:
1. Memory auto-updating β Let me choose when things are remembered
The memory feature is promising, but its current behavior β updating automatically after conversations β can be intrusive and even undesirable.
Suggested improvements:
Allow users to manually approve memory updates
Even if memory is turned on, let us disable automatic updating
Provide a preview or log of what is being added before itβs committed
Just because I said something doesnβt mean I want it stored.
Memory should always be based on explicit user intent.
2. Pandas tool auto-activation β Only use when explicitly requested
The pandas library is often invoked automatically, even when the user didnβt request tabular analysis or dataframe rendering. This leads to:
- Unwanted visual interruptions
- Incompatibility with workflows that prefer plain markdown tables
- Reduced trust in output formatting
Requested changes:
Allow users to toggle whether
pandas
is ever usedLet users default to markdown text tables for all tabular output
3. Canvas auto-activation β Let me summon it, not the system
Canvas is a powerful tool, especially for code or long-form content. However, it frequently appears without being requested, disrupting focused work.
Suggestions:
Canvas should activate only when the user explicitly requests it
Add an option to prevent automatic canvas switching entirely
Summary: Intelligent tools should follow user intent
The deeper issue behind all of this is simple:
As ChatGPT becomes more powerful, user autonomy must become more respected.
I should be able to set:
- What the system remembers
- Which tools can activate
- How outputs are formatted
β all as persistent defaults, like in any other productivity software.
I hope this proposal contributes to the thoughtful evolution of ChatGPT as not just a smart assistant, but a tool that listens, adapts, and respects the preferences of its users.
Thank you for your time and dedication.
Sincerely,
[Your name or username]
