Pin or Favorite Chats in ChatGPT

GOAL we want to achieve:

To enhance user experience by allowing users to pin or favorite important chats, making them easily accessible for future reference. This feature is similar to the “favorite” or “pin” functionality in Skype, helping users keep their most important conversations at their fingertips.

HOW we could do it:

  1. Add a Pin/Favorite Button: Integrate a button within each chat interface that allows users to pin or favorite a chat. This button could be placed next to the chat title or in the chat options menu.

  2. Create a Pinned/Favorites Section: Develop a dedicated section at the top of the chat list or in a separate tab where all pinned or favorited chats are displayed. This ensures quick access without cluttering the main chat list.

  3. User Notifications: Notify users of the new feature and provide a brief tutorial or tooltips on how to use the pin or favorite function effectively.

IMPACT for using CHATGPT PIN:

  1. Improved User Productivity: Users can quickly locate and return to important conversations, reducing time spent searching through chat histories.

  2. Enhanced User Satisfaction: Offering a customizable chat experience with the ability to prioritize important discussions will likely lead to higher user satisfaction and engagement.

  3. Competitive Advantage: Implementing this feature can make ChatGPT more competitive against other platforms like Skype, attracting users who value organizational tools and efficiency.

Integrating the ability to pin or favorite chats would significantly enhance the usability and appeal of ChatGPT, aligning with user needs for better conversation management.

You might want to check out Pinnable ChatGPT extension for that. Not a native feature, but better than nothing

This is why I created an account in the forum. To ask for this very feature! It might even be cool to be able to do this like book marks in google maps where you can save a location to a named list or “folder”. Might be nice to be able to organize these conversation threads.

Yes, please, due to sheer number of chats, pinning a few of the major frequently accessed chat would be immensly helpful. Please get this on the dev roadmap.

Yes, this would really help to visit the old chats/important ones which were pushed back due to new ones. Having a build-in feature to pin the chats would be better than book marking the chats.

Folders to organize chats like @gsmits was saying would be amazingly useful

yeah we definitely need some way to organize the chats. i have a ton that i want to categorize and be able to look at them later.

Yes please, my strongest pain point at the moment with an otherwise amazing app.

This is a critical feature especially since your current search function seems to only search within chat topics as far back as the user has scrolled.

+10000 I’m really in need of this feature

This feature is definitely missing and hope it can be added asap.

As for now, I have to use this extension as a work-around. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mygptlist/epeleabnmkmmdfbgfhbnhmdfkddgggnp

Very much needed considering we are using so many chats and have to search for them it would be great if we could pin a few of our most used conversations to the top

+1 :writing_hand: It’s literally a useful feature!

Just chiming in as well. I am a newer subscriber to the platform and love the app. I use it on all my devices. However favoriting or pinning convos with the AI would be incredibly useful for frequent users. :+1:

Surprised this isn’t aleady there!

I’ve started putting emoji next to my key convos to find them more easily. Some are ongoing conversations where chatgpt needs to have better memory/context about what is going on and I don’t want to keep re-prompting.

Oh and related: being able to pin key messages in a chat would be nice! The main memory fills up fast, so sometimes nice to just highlight for that particular convo

I’ve just created a feature request for this, and didn’t see this thread before.

Yes we need this feature, would be so useful. +1000

Better than bookmarking the chat urls all the time haha

Like others, I’ve made this account to specifically request this. It’s needed!! As someone who has so many thoughts going on at once, it would be great to go back to a suggestion or example ChatGPT gives after I do my deep dive and questions.

This is also why I use it on the web, so I can keep certain chats open around different topics in different tabs, but I still need a pinning feature. Re-prompting is extremely tedious and clunky.

I appreciate and have a lot of love for this product and use it every day. Thanks for everyone’s hard work!

Also, it’s not only a question of ease of use, it’s a question of data retention. Eventually (undefined period) ChatGPT will ‘prune’ your historic chats. I just freaked out thinking that one of my crucial old chats relating to a project of mine had been deleted, but it turns out that you can access more historic chats on desktop than within the app. Phew! Still, would be a hell of a lot easier if you could just pin the chats you wish to return to, distinguishing between quick throwaway conversations and long-form conversations
