I’d like to propose a feature that could greatly enhance the ChatGPT experience: **Project-Specific Memory.**

## The Problem

Currently, memory in ChatGPT is **global** , meaning it remembers details across all conversations. However, users often work on multiple projects or topics simultaneously (e.g., a startup, a research paper, and personal learning). Without a way to **isolate memory per project** , there’s a risk of context overlap or irrelevant details influencing responses.

## Proposed Feature

Introduce a **Project-Specific Memory** option, allowing users to create and manage distinct “memory spaces” within ChatGPT. Users could:

- Assign memory to a specific project folder
- Enable/disable memory for each project
- Reset or delete memory for a single project without affecting others

## Key Benefits

1. **Better Context Management** – Users can keep discussions organized without mixing unrelated information.
2. **Improved Privacy & Control** – Users can reset or erase memory for one project without losing details from others.
3. **Enhanced Productivity** – Switching between projects becomes seamless, reducing the need to re-explain context every time.
4. **More Accurate Responses** – ChatGPT can focus on the relevant project, reducing misunderstandings caused by unrelated past conversations.

This feature would greatly enhance ChatGPT’s usability for entrepreneurs, students, researchers, and professionals managing multiple workflows.

**Wish:** Ability to activate **personal instructions and memory per project/group** , instead of only at account level.  
**Why:** Working with multiple identities/roles (e.g. professional, creative, on behalf of projections) requires **separate context and memory** to avoid confusion and overlap.  
**Benefit:** More focused, consistent and efficient interaction within each project – without previous contexts influencing each other.
