Feature Suggestion: Sub-chat Functionality

Dear OpenAI Team,

I would like to suggest adding a new feature that could greatly enhance the user experience – the implementation of a “sub-chat” functionality.

Here’s the idea: while reading or discussing a topic in the main chat, sometimes I come across a term or concept that I would like to quickly look up or clarify. Currently, I have to either open a new chat or disrupt the flow of the main conversation by asking for clarification within the same thread.

A “sub-chat” feature would allow users to temporarily open a secondary chat or side panel for quick inquiries, without leaving or interfering with the main conversation. Once the user finds the needed information, they can return seamlessly to the main topic.

This would streamline the workflow and make the interaction much more efficient for those working on complex or multi-step tasks.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I look forward to your feedback!

Best regards,
Mark Likvornik
