I think Projects need a **multi-level hierarchical structure** for organizing conversations.

Currently, every conversation thread sits directly under the Project. This works well for small Projects, but as a Project grows to dozens or hundreds of threads, it becomes increasingly cluttered and difficult to navigate, organize, and retrieve previous discussions.

I would like users to be able to create **3–4 levels of hierarchy within each Project** , similar to folders and subfolders. For example:

**Project → Module → Submodule → Conversation Thread**

Ideally, users should be able to **create, name, and organize these levels themselves** depending on the complexity of their Project.

For example, a medical knowledge Project could be structured as:

**Radiology → Neuroradiology → Brain Tumors → Glioma**

This would turn Projects from a simple collection of conversations into a much more scalable **long-term knowledge workspace** , especially for professional, academic, and research use.

Thanks for the suggestion for nested Projects, modules and submodules to organize larger work. We'll share this feedback with the team. We don't have a timeline to share, but appreciate the suggestion!
