I am a daily user and always have follow up questions about words or steps in a process. It would be game changing to have a way to when you hit the “ask chat gpt” button in kicks out a sidebar explanation directly next to that step and if then needs more explanation you can kick out to the side again and then when your ready swipe back to the main thread. the current way with either scrolling all the way back up or using those little lines on the side is lame. Someone smarter than me could make it look so cool too like a spider web of thoughts or something and it could even learn the patterns where people ask follow up questions and where it might need to fill in detail!
You can already branch a conversation into a new chat: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6825453. Nested explanation sidebars and a visual branch map are a useful next step—we’ll pass the ideas to the team. No timeline to share.
