Folder Structure and Tags for Better Chat Organization

Dear OpenAI Team,

I would like to propose a feature that could greatly enhance the usability of ChatGPT, especially for users managing both professional and personal tasks: a folder structure or tagging system to better organize chats.

Currently, chats are organized chronologically, which can become overwhelming, particularly when working on multiple projects or themes simultaneously. With the ability to group chats into folders or assign tags, users could:

• Categorize chats by topics such as “Work,” “Personal,” or specific projects,

• Access relevant information more efficiently,

• Maintain a clear and structured overview of their conversations.

Ideally, this functionality could include:

  1. Folder Creation: Allow users to move chats into folders via drag-and-drop or a context menu.

  2. Tagging and Filtering: Enable users to assign custom tags to chats and filter conversations based on these tags.

  3. Favorites or Pinning: Highlight or pin important chats for quick access.

Implementing such an organizational system would not only improve user experience but also increase the platform’s appeal for business users and power users alike.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I would greatly appreciate any feedback and would be happy to provide additional details if needed.

Best regards,
Raphael

yes to “folder structure” :slight_smile:

Hi, I encountered the same issue, as I frequently use ChatGPT for brainstorming and ideation. To address this, I built a simple Chrome extension last weekend that allows me to organize my chats into a nested folder structure.

I’m currently working on fixing the final bugs. If you’re interested, I can share the link once the extension is published.

Yh exactly Open AI needs a folder/project system where we can store and retrieve information regarding the project. Building a GPT is too long and not effective sometimes you just want continuity and the ability to come back to the folder/project.

Claude has such a feature called projects at the moment so it would be great to get an even better version of that. Somewhere where we could store excel sheets, pdfs, word docs, links, previous chats etc.

For example I was doing an analysis of 20 products I had available and I really wanted to store the info that I just had gotten my chat to understand and now with how much I use chatgpt the chat or ideas will probably be lost forever as it will just keep sinking more and more to the bottom.

So yh all of this would be great and would make ChatGpt 50% even better and more productive!

looks like chatgpt released “projects-folder” to organize your conversations
