Persistent Thread Referencing for Enhanced Continuity in Conversations

I propose a feature that allows users to reference and integrate information from previous conversations into a new thread seamlessly. This could be achieved through conversation IDs, thread titles, or a selectable history feature where users can choose specific past conversations to be included in the current discussion.

Key Benefits:

  • Enables users to maintain continuity across multiple threads without starting from scratch.
  • Allows referencing multiple past conversations for more informed and context-aware responses.
  • Improves efficiency by reducing the need to manually summarize past discussions.
  • Enhances long-term project tracking and follow-ups for complex topics.

This feature would provide a more dynamic and user-friendly experience, especially for users who rely on AI for ongoing discussions, research, and problem-solving.

Welcome to the forum this may work for you. :rabbit::hole:
It’s called projects you can link instructions etc

Sorry I write fantasy and sci fi I build RPGs forgive the open chat.
:rabbit::infinity::four_leaf_clover::heart:

That works in ChatGPT Plus but it doesn’t work for team workspaces as memory is siloed at the conversation level, not the project level.

I’m not really a developer. Just interested in this stuff.

As I understand it, projects seem to have large granularity.

One way to partially implement this that would be relatively simple:

  • The engine issues a prompt with an incrementing number, much like you can do in a unix command shell. So [131] Ready > That prompt and the model’s reply are a block.

Now you can make reference to ConversationName Blocks 37-43, with flags for, “Treat the block string only” “query the other model for why it came to the answer it did.” “Import the association chains N levels deep that lead to this block’s response.”
