Enhancing ChatGPT Mobile: The Need for a “Project Management Folder” Feature
Why ChatGPT Mobile Needs a “Project Management Folder” Feature
ChatGPT has become an essential tool for work planning, learning notes, content creation, and business decision-making. However, when it comes to long-term project management and organizing conversations, the mobile experience is severely lacking.
Currently, ChatGPT mobile lacks an efficient way to categorize, retrieve, and manage multiple project-related conversations, forcing users to manually search through chat history or rely on external tools like Google Docs or Notion.
As a heavy mobile user, I strongly feel the need for a built-in “Project Management Folder” feature that allows users to seamlessly organize, track, and manage multiple ongoing projects directly within ChatGPT.
Why ChatGPT Needs a “Project Folder” Feature
Too Many Conversations, No Easy Way to Organize
Problem: As the number of conversations grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to locate important project-related information. Right now, there is no built-in way to categorize chats into projects.
Solution: Implement “Project Folders” where users can manually or automatically categorize related conversations.
Example:
• 
Podcast Planning
• 
Gaming Platform Development
• 
AI Research Notes
With this structure, users can quickly access all related conversations without manually searching through chat history.
Inability to Create Subtopics Within a Project
Problem: Many projects require discussing multiple subtopics, but ChatGPT currently does not support organizing them within a single structured conversation. This leads to scattered information across different chat threads.
Solution: Introduce nested subtopics within a project folder, allowing users to better organize their discussions.
Example (Podcast Planning Project):
Podcast Planning
Goals & Vision
Guest Interviews
Editing Workflow
Marketing Strategies
This would enable users to navigate their project discussions effortlessly rather than scrolling through unstructured messages.
Lack of “Search & Filter” Features for Conversations
Problem: When handling multiple projects, finding specific past discussions is frustrating and inefficient.
Solution: Add advanced search and filtering options, allowing users to search by project name, date, or keyword to instantly find relevant information.
Example:
If I want to find past discussions about “Podcast Editing”, I should be able to:
Go to the “Podcast Planning” folder
Type “Editing” in the search bar
Instantly access all related responses from previous chats
This would eliminate the need to scroll endlessly through old conversations.
No Way to “Pin” Important Responses
Problem: ChatGPT often generates valuable insights, but users have no way to pin critical messages for quick reference.
Solution: Introduce a “Pin Message” or “Bookmark” feature to let users save key AI-generated responses.
Example:
• Pinned ChatGPT recommendations for Podcast guest questions
• Pinned technical solutions for a gaming platform development
• Pinned AI-generated market analysis insights
Having quick access to essential AI-generated insights would significantly improve productivity.
No Multi-Device Sync or Team Collaboration
Problem: ChatGPT currently does not support structured multi-device synchronization or team-based project collaboration. If I categorize chats on my phone, I should see the same organization on my desktop.
Solution: Enable cloud-based synchronization across devices and introduce shared project folders for team collaboration.
Example:
• “Podcast Planning (Shared)” → Team members can access and contribute to AI-generated suggestions
• “Company Project: Gaming Platform Development” → PMs, developers, and marketing teams can collectively manage AI insights
This would transform ChatGPT from a personal assistant into a true collaborative AI-powered project tool.
Conclusion: Why OpenAI Should Develop “Project Folders” for ChatGPT Mobile
Currently, ChatGPT Mobile is great for instant conversations but lacks the structure needed for long-term project management. This limitation forces many users to manually track AI-generated insights using external tools, reducing ChatGPT’s efficiency as a true AI-powered assistant.
If OpenAI implements Project Management Folders, it would:
Make ChatGPT a true AI-powered project assistant, not just a chatbot
Improve usability for professionals, students, and content creators
Reduce manual effort by allowing AI to proactively organize information
Enhance collaboration by enabling shared AI-powered project spaces
I strongly encourage OpenAI to consider this feature, making ChatGPT Mobile a powerful AI-driven productivity tool rather than just a conversation-based assistant.
