Hey team and fellow users,
As someone who uses ChatGPT daily for strategic planning, knowledge architecture, and deep research, I’ve hit some hard limits that really slow things down — especially for power users operating at scale.
Here’s a condensed wishlist of features that could elevate ChatGPT from a smart assistant to a true command-and-control platform:
• Search within chat threads
• Manual and AI-assisted tagging
• Collapsible sections and anchor jumps
• Linked threads (knowledge network)
• Workspace export/sync options
• Timeline view + auto-summaries
• Vault Mode for sensitive threads
• Unlimited threads and memory
• Access to restricted, controversial, or orthodox knowledge — with responsible guardrails
Below is the full breakdown with sharper context. I really believe these updates would make ChatGPT a game-changing platform for researchers, strategists, leaders, and serious thinkers.
Subject: Feature Request – High-Impact Tools for Power Users, Strategic Thinkers, and Knowledge Architects
Dear ChatGPT Team,
As a high-level user operating across strategy, innovation, ideology, and long-term systems design, I’m submitting a proposal that reflects the needs of power users who treat ChatGPT not as a chatbot — but as a full-scale cognitive interface.
To unlock the platform’s true potential, the following enhancements are urgently needed:
- In-Chat Search Functionality
Enable granular keyword search within a single thread. Long-form conversations are nearly unusable without this. Users need fast navigation — not endless scrolling.
- Manual + AI-Assisted Tagging
Let users tag segments manually and allow ChatGPT to suggest tags based on recurring themes. This combo would bring structure and recall to sprawling dialogues.
- Collapsible Sections + Anchors
Chats should function like dynamic documents. Add collapsible sections and anchor points that let users jump to key parts like “Phase 1 plan” or “revised doctrine.”
- Thread Linking for Knowledge Networks
Allow users to connect pieces of different chats. Power users don’t think in silos — they think in systems. Let them build custom knowledge webs.
- Exportable & Synced Workspaces
Support export to external platforms (Notion, Obsidian) or enable a native dashboard. This would let users turn conversations into long-term, evolving workspaces.
- Timeline View + Auto-Summaries
Auto-generate timeline views showing how ideas and plans evolve. Add weekly/monthly summaries for fast recall of decision history and development arcs.
- Vault Mode for Sensitive Threads
Create a secure mode for confidential chats: biometric login, off-limits to training, and non-exportable. Some threads are too high-stakes for casual access.
- Unlimited Thread and Chat Streams
No cap on active threads. Power users need continuous, persistent conversations without deleting context. Knowledge should stack — not reset.
- Unlimited Memory
Let users scale memory as needed and manage it — label what should be remembered, forgotten, or prioritized. Cap-based memory limits depth, continuity, and trust.
- Access to Unorthodox & Restricted Knowledge (with Guardrails)
Currently, ChatGPT often blocks users from exploring topics deemed “dangerous,” “sensitive,” or “controversial” — even when the goal is clearly educational, strategic, or analytical. This includes propaganda, ideological texts, historical extremism, religious fundamentalism, and politically incorrect or orthodox knowledge that challenges mainstream narratives.
We propose a Restricted Knowledge Mode — an opt-in setting for vetted users who want unfiltered access to complex, uncomfortable, or controversial material. This would include safety notices, but not censorship. The goal isn’t to endorse harmful ideas — it’s to understand them, deconstruct them, and develop better counter-narratives or strategic insights. Whether it’s exploring fascist propaganda, radical theology, imperial doctrines, or ancient esoteric systems, serious users need space to study these constructs without being blocked or infantilized.
This is the difference between a toy and a tool. Real intellectual autonomy requires access to the raw material — even the ugly parts of it.

These features would transform ChatGPT into something far more powerful than a chatbot. They would make it a strategic instrument — a living archive, an intellectual lab, a think tank, and a battlefield map all in one.
Thank you for creating a phenomenal foundation. These enhancements would unleash its full potential for those who use it not casually, but as a core part of their strategic infrastructure.
Best regards,
