Proposal: Introducing “Topics” with “Threads” for enhanced Chat Organization
When using ChatGPT intensively, the current structure of standalone “chats” often proves insufficient for complex or multi-faceted tasks. A more practical approach would be to implement a system of “topics”, within which users could create multiple “threads.”
This structure would allow for better organization of conversations that revolve around the same overarching context but require separate discussion tracks. For example, when working on the development of an application in Go (Golang), users could have a single topic dedicated to the project with separate threads for:
- Technical Discussions – focusing on implementation details and code.
- General Questions or Clarifications – for addressing broader conceptual issues.
- Test Development – to manage the parallel creation of unit tests.
- Documentation Generation – a thread specifically for drafting project documentation.
This organization would empower users to manage related conversations in a more streamlined and efficient way, minimizing the chaos of context-switching between disparate chats or mixing multiple discussions into one thread.
The “topic + threads” structure could vastly improve workflow and productivity for developers, researchers, and power users who rely heavily on ChatGPT for complex or multi-layered projects.
