Hi OpenAI team,
I use ChatGPT daily as part of my creative, research, and problem-solving workflows.
There are two features that I believe would significantly improve the experience — especially for long-term, project-based users like myself.
Feature Suggestions
- Project or Topic Pinning
- Let us pin key conversations to the top of the sidebar for quick access.
- Use cases might include:
- Research threads (e.g. climate policy)
- Ongoing creative writing projects
- Technical Q&A on multi-file codebases
- Sidebar Customization & Right Sidebar with Icon-Based Project Access
- Add a right-side sidebar that allows users to pin their active projects as icons.
- These icons would represent ongoing tasks or conversations, and users could click them for quick access.
- This would allow users to organize and access their most important or active projects more efficiently.
Desktop App Issue
On Windows/macOS desktop apps, clicking an external link opens a new window —
but closing that window also closes the entire ChatGPT app.
It would be great to see a fix or a setting to always open links in the default browser.
Why this matters
ChatGPT is growing into more than a chatbot — it’s becoming a thought partner.
With these features, it could evolve into a true knowledge dashboard for power users.
Thanks again for all the amazing work — I look forward to what’s next!
