How can we make ChatGPT an even more powerful tool for professionals and researchers?

:speech_balloon: Hello OpenAI community!

I’ve been using ChatGPT extensively for research and professional work, and I see a lot of potential for improvement. Here are 3 key enhancements that could significantly boost its capabilities for professionals and academics:

Overview

To enhance user experience and improve ChatGPT’s efficiency, I propose three evolutions:

  1. Integration of Adobe Digital Editions for secure reading of copyrighted books.
  2. Implementation of a permanent customizable folder for storing documents and articles.
  3. Addition of a bookmarking system to facilitate navigation in long conversations.

These enhancements would make ChatGPT an even more powerful tool for professionals, researchers, and students while ensuring compliance with copyright laws and data privacy.


1. Integration of Adobe Digital Editions for Secure Book Reading

Current Issue

ChatGPT cannot access DRM-protected books, forcing users to convert files to PDF or TXT, which may lead to legal issues.

Proposed Solution

:white_check_mark: Integrate an official Adobe Digital Editions extension into ChatGPT.
:white_check_mark: Allow users to add legally purchased books while maintaining reading restrictions.
:white_check_mark: Ensure that these files remain private, with no sharing options.
:white_check_mark: Enable ChatGPT to retrieve information only from these books, alongside the internet and the permanent folder.

Benefits

:heavy_check_mark: Full compliance with copyright laws.
:heavy_check_mark: Smooth and intuitive user experience.
:heavy_check_mark: Quick access to academic and professional references.
:heavy_check_mark: Increased value for students, researchers, and professionals.

2. Implementation of a Permanent Customizable Folder

Current Issue

  • ChatGPT does not retain documents between sessions.
  • Users must reload their files each time, making the process inefficient.

Proposed Solution

:white_check_mark: Create a customizable permanent folder where users can store:
:small_blue_diamond: News articles.
:small_blue_diamond: Publicly available PDF documents.
:small_blue_diamond: Notes and research materials.

:white_check_mark: This folder would be exclusive to each user and inaccessible to others.
:white_check_mark: ChatGPT would search for information in this permanent folder, alongside Adobe Digital Editions and the internet.

Benefits

:heavy_check_mark: Enables users to build their personalized knowledge base.
:heavy_check_mark: Ideal for researchers, professionals, and businesses needing a reference repository.
:heavy_check_mark: Eliminates the need to reload the same files repeatedly.

3. Addition of a Bookmarking System for Long Conversations

Current Issue

  • In long conversations, retrieving previously exchanged information is difficult.
  • There is no native tool allowing users to save key sections for quick reference.

Proposed Solution

:white_check_mark: Introduce a bookmarking system in ChatGPT.
:white_check_mark: Allow users to mark specific parts of the conversation with customizable titles.
:white_check_mark: Examples of bookmarks: “About,” “Company,” “SWOT,” “Benchmark.”
:white_check_mark: Provide an integrated search bar to quickly locate bookmarked sections.

Benefits

:heavy_check_mark: Saves time and improves organization.
:heavy_check_mark: Ideal for professionals and students using ChatGPT for long-term projects.
:heavy_check_mark: Enhances fluidity and accessibility within the AI experience.

:bulb: Have you ever struggled to find key information in a long ChatGPT conversation? This feature could change that!


Conclusion

Integrating these three features would address key needs for advanced ChatGPT users. They would ensure:

:white_check_mark: A better user experience (simplified access to personal resources and bookmarks).
:white_check_mark: Strict compliance with copyright laws (secure integration of Adobe Digital Editions).
:white_check_mark: A more efficient and customizable AI tool (through a permanent personal data repository).
