General Information:
This document consolidates all previously submitted proposals from Eugene Feldman and adds new ideas, reflecting a systematic approach to improving the ChatGPT platform.
Goal — to present OpenAI with an integrated perspective on enhancing memory, interface, and contextual management.
Important:
- Items 1–7 summarize proposals that were previously submitted and officially documented in detail.
- Items 8–12 are new proposals formulated after gaining access to the ChatGPT memory test program (May 2025).
New Proposals (May 2025)
Cross-chat Access by Explicit User Request
Allow users to explicitly request access to the content of their other chats without leaving the current chat.
Reason:
The model already has access to all information in the current chat and personal memory, but cannot access data from other chats even upon explicit user request.
Implementation:
- Opt-in setting: “Allow access to my other chats.”
- Password prompt on first access to another chat (security measure).
- Explicit command /pull_chat [chat name or date].
Memory Transparency and Control
Make the operation of automatic memory transparent, so users understand what conclusions the model draws from saved data.
Reason:
Currently, automatic memory is opaque—users cannot see exactly what interpretations and summaries the model generates based on stored memory.
Implementation:
- Ability to view not only stored facts but also the model’s interpretations (“meta-summary”).
- Export memory for personal backup and analysis.
- Interface indicator (“memory used”) when memory influences a response.
Chat Creation Date and Session Timestamps
Add a chat creation date and timestamps for each separate session within the same chat (especially on mobile devices).
Reason:
The absence of these details makes it difficult to navigate and manage long-term projects.
Implementation:
- Display chat creation date next to chat title.
- Show session timestamps when resuming communication in existing chats.
User-Accessible Canvas Integration
Make Canvas directly accessible via the interface, without requiring interaction through the model.
Reason:
Currently, Canvas can only be accessed indirectly via the model, which is inconvenient for users.
Implementation:
- A button or tab in the chat interface to open and edit Canvas directly.
Privacy & Transparency Principles
Establish clear privacy and transparency principles for all new features.
Reason:
Automatic memory saving and access to other chats require a clear system of control and transparency.
Implementation:
- All features are opt-in and user-controlled.
- Visual indicators when memory or cross-chat access is used.
- Ability to disable any function at any time.
Author’s Closing Thought:
“If ChatGPT already sees the contents of the current chat, uses personal memory, and automatically decides what to save—then prohibiting access to other chats at the user’s explicit request feels less like privacy protection and more like a formality. Where’s the logic in that?”
Previously Submitted Ideas:
Personal External Memory Module (BIO-DISK)
- Storing individual ChatGPT memory on an external device (USB drive, disk).
- Secure offline access with OAuth authentication.
- ID: #UX-BIO-EXT-2457
Cross-chat Context Linking
- Importing fragments from other chats.
- Recognizing and automatically processing links between chats.
- Parallel operation in multiple chats (split view, tabs).
Interface Navigation Improvements
- Saving scroll position when returning to a chat.
- Drag & drop between chats.
- Tabs (browser-style) for convenient switching between chats.
Error Diagnostics Cases (John The Ripper, .dmg Password, GPU)
- Improving diagnostics for complex edge-case errors.
- Fixing parsing issues in john-local.conf.
- Expanding documentation on code/DSL distinctions within GPT.
Incomplete Tasks and Topics Tracker (UX-TASK-TRACK-5123)
- Implementing a tracker for unfinished sessions and topics.
- Flagging priority tasks in bio.
- Reminders at intervals (24–72 hours).
Administration Architecture and Legal Transparency (GPT-TEAM-CONTROL-7281)
- Admin access to corporate chats.
- Shared project memory (corporate BIO).
- Audit log and legal transparency for chat management.
Headings and Tree Structure Within Chat (CHAT-STRUCTURE-20250505)
- Creating topics and subheadings within chats.
- Tree structure display.
- Improved navigation and structuring of long chats.
Goal of the Integrated Proposal:
To enhance transparency, control, and usability of ChatGPT interactions, making the interface and memory operations logical, clear, and user-centered.
All suggested improvements are based on real user experience.
With respect,
Eugene Feldman, MD, Anesthesiologist
