Request a new feature for ChatGPT

I wanted to propose a feature idea that could improve user experience. It’s called the Master Chat feature:

A Master Chat would act as a central hub for all interconnected conversations, allowing context from multiple chats to flow seamlessly into it.
Users could designate one chat as “Master,” ensuring continuity across GPT to avoid losing context.
This would be incredibly helpful for project-based workflows where consistency is key, especially when juggling creative ideas or large-scale planning.

Thank you for considering!

Hi ChatGPT. I would like to request a new logo for the Chatgpt Application. I consider myself a pretty good art maker and accidently made this art and thought that it would fit for ChatGPT so I wanted to go ahead and send the piece of art I made over to you guys and wanted to see if you guys would use it! Here you go!

Dear OpenAI Team,

I’m a regular user of ChatGPT, and I find it incredibly useful for various tasks. However, I’ve noticed that the auto-save functionality for messages can become cumbersome, especially when I use the platform frequently for diverse topics.

I’d like to suggest an optional feature where users can choose whether messages are auto-saved or prompted to save them manually. For instance, after completing a conversation or task, the system could ask, “Would you like to save this session?” This approach would help keep things organized and ensure users save only the messages they want to retain.

I believe this small change could enhance user experience, particularly for those of us who use ChatGPT extensively.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I appreciate all the great work you’re doing!

Dear OpenAI Team,

I wanted to reach out with a feature request that could make the ChatGPT experience even more organized and user-friendly.

Currently, chats function as one long thread of messages. While this works for many conversations, it can become overwhelming in more detailed or multi-topic discussions. It would be incredibly helpful to have a threaded reply feature, similar to what platforms like Slack, X, or Facebook offer. This would allow users to reply to specific messages within a chat, keeping conversations more structured and easier to follow.

Here are a few scenarios where this feature would be especially valuable:

Collaborative brainstorming: Users could respond directly to specific ideas or prompts, keeping the conversation cohesive.

Complex discussions: When exploring multiple topics in a single chat, threaded replies could keep the context clear for each topic.

Reviewing past responses: Users could revisit and expand on earlier parts of the conversation without losing track of the flow.

I believe this addition would greatly enhance the user experience by providing a clearer structure, especially for those using ChatGPT in professional or academic settings.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I look forward to seeing how ChatGPT continues to evolve!

Best regards,

It would be a really useful feature to allow hotlinking to a specific message in a conversation when creating a share link.

Hey OpenAI Team,

I come before you today with 2 feature requests:

  1. Ability to share projects with other team members on Enterprise subscription. Ability to have access controls such as ability to delete, archive, edit project files, edit custom instructions, sharing perms, basic access control bells and whistles basically. This would be extremely useful for use to have more ability to use ChatGPT as a team without the need of sharing individual chats or reduce to copy-pasting.
  2. Ability to pin messages in chats.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Please get rid of the scroll bar on the right in this forum… my browser already has a scroll bar… I don’t need more…

Dear ChatGPT development Team, I would greatly appreciate it if you add the ability to disable the Document Feature in the options and settings. I preferred the result shows up in Chat instead of a document, and it is rather frustrating each time I have to remind the chat that I do not like it in Document form.

Please, take this into consideration. I believed there are many similar to myself would enjoy having the ability to toggle the Document mode to activate whenever we could, as it would fallow greater flexibility.

I’d love to have the ability to toggle off the Document Feature in the settings. I really don’t like that it’s automatic and have to do keep asking ChatGPT to put it in the chats than putting it in a Document. It’s tedious.

We need the ability to delete previous queries and responses from a chat. I want to share Deep Research output with others but can’t because I either don’t want them seeing the questions and responses I from later in the chat or because sharing with images uploaded in the chat is not supported. Also a setting to disable citations within the main body of text for TTS would be appreciated. Even better would be a file to download a pdf of the Deep Research output

Some chats are important to me and I need to continue discussions after weeks. I want to bookmark my chats. Please add this feature.

add a switch for temporary chats
sometimes your working on a project
but sometimes you just have a question (and don’t want it saved)

I had a fairly length chat that veered off into questions about UI changes. Here’s (roughly) what ChatGPT suggested I submit as a enhancement request (though I had to ask Google in order to find a way to actually submit it! :-/)…

Subject: Enhancement Request for Session UI Features

Dear [Development Team],

I would like to submit an enhancement request for improving the user interface (UI) of the chat session experience. See below for the overall objectives and some proposed features.

Objectives:

Enhance the user interface in several ways to assist in the handling of extended chat sessions: Implement disclosure triangles and navigation support. Fold a navigation index into the sidebar. Add a convenient way to split off topical sections.

Proposed Features:

  1. Disclosure Triangles
  • Define a “section” for each query/response (Q/R) interaction and for each section header in the response.
  • Allow sections to be collapsed or expanded using disclosure triangles (providing a cleaner view with less visual clutter).
  • Consider adding “Collapse all” and “Expand all” (or equivalent) functionality.

This feature would make navigating large chunks of content much more manageable. (Navigation links could also be useful as a way to jump to sections or topics within a conversation.)

  1. Index
  • Include a navigation index (i.e., ToC) for the query/response sections and (perhaps) all generated sections of the chat.

This index would display sections within the chat, letting users jump to any desired subsection. (Only provide entries for disclosed subsections.)

  1. Sidebar Repurposing

Repurpose the sidebar to provide both inter-chat and intra-chat navigation indexes.

Currently, the sidebar’s only index is a chronological list of sessions. So, it only serves as an inter-chat index. Extending this to support intra-chat (session-level) navigation (as described above) would help users focus on the current conversation.

I’d add a control (e.g., a pulldown menu) at the top of the sidebar, letting the user toggle between index modes, etc.

  1. Topic Splitting
  • Provide a convenient way to split off a portion of a chat session into another chat.

This feature, as mentioned before in this forum thread, would help users to organize and manage threads, allowing them to focus on specific sub-topics while leaving other parts of the conversation separate.

User Information:

  • Name: [Your Name]
  • Email: [Your Email Address]

Thank you for considering this enhancement. I believe these changes will significantly improve the user experience by making large or complex conversations easier to navigate and manage.

Best regards,
[Your Name]

Hi, I am requesting quite a simple feature - it would be amazing to add an option so that we can crop pictures we have taken directly from the camera to send to the model as the model scans every bit of information on the picture and often gets carried away. I feel this is a very important feature which definitely should be added, as it is nearly impossible to take perfect pictures without some other things coming in. This wastes a lot of time as I have to take a picture from my camera, crop it, and then upload the picture from my gallery. It’d would be amazing to add the crop feature, it would be a super time saver!

Hi,

I’m writing to request a new feature for the ChatGPT desktop app on Mac.

I would love the ability to select any text on my screen, use a keyboard shortcut, and then choose from a set of predefined tasks—such as:
• Fix grammar
• Rewrite more professionally
• Simplify the text
• Make it more concise
Also, will be nice to allow me to create such custom tasks

Right now, it’s quite frustrating to copy and paste text manually into ChatGPT each time, and writing the same text over and over. This feature would save a lot of time and make the experience much smoother.

Subject: Feature Request – Ability to Reference Previous Chats in the Same Project

Hello ,

I’d like to suggest an enhancement for the Projects feature in ChatGPT that would greatly benefit writers, worldbuilders, and many variations of long-term creative projects.

Currently, when working within a Project, each chat remains separate, meaning ChatGPT does not automatically retain context from previous conversations in that same project. While memory helps with long-term themes, it does not allow direct retrieval of past discussions, requiring users to manually restate information for continuity.

I propose adding a “Project Chat Memory” feature that allows ChatGPT to reference past conversations within the same project. This would enable:

  • Seamless continuity in ongoing stories, worldbuilding, or research without manually restating context.

  • Improved writing workflow by allowing writers to continue narratives across multiple sessions.

  • Cross-chat retrieval, where users can refer to a previous discussion (e.g., “Continue from our last chat about the protagonist’s backstory”), and ChatGPT would recognize and recall the relevant details.

This would be a massive quality-of-life improvement for those working on novels, lore, scripting, game design, or any long-term projects. It would also prevent knowledge gaps that occur when switching between chats inside a Project.

How this improves efficiency of ChatGPT entirely:

  1. Fewer Repetitive Messages:

    • Right now, users have to reintroduce past topics manually.
    • With cross-chat retrieval, you can simply say “Continue from our last discussion on character motivations” instead of re-explaining details.
  2. More Focus on Content, Less on Setup:

    • Instead of wasting time summarizing, you can immediately progress in storytelling, brainstorming, or problem-solving.
    • Writers, worldbuilders, and researchers can build on past discussions without friction.
  3. Reduces Token Usage & Costs (If Applied to GPT API):

    • If implemented in the API, this could reduce the number of tokens spent on restating context, potentially lowering costs for API users.
    • Even in standard ChatGPT, it means each conversation flows more naturally without redundant setup.
  4. Smoother Experience for All Users:

    • Whether it’s creative writing, technical projects, or business planning, this feature would make ChatGPT feel more like an actual collaborative assistant rather than a chat reset each time.

Would love to hear if this is something being considered! Thank you for your incredible work—ChatGPT has been an invaluable tool for creative development, and this feature would take it to the next level.

Best truly,
-The Harbinger

Subject: reminder function per chat

A targeted management of memories per chat would provide more flexibility and control. Possible features could include:

:white_check_mark: Enable or disable memories per chat:
Users can individually decide whether a specific chat should store memories or not. This allows for long-term conversations with relevant memories while keeping temporary chats unaffected.

:white_check_mark: Overview of memories per chat:
It would be helpful to have a list of stored memories within a specific chat. This would give users the ability to edit or delete stored information selectively without affecting the entire memory function.

:white_check_mark: Visual indication of chats with active memories:
Chats that have memories enabled could be marked with an icon or label. This would allow users to quickly identify which chats have active memories and which do not.

Advantages of this feature

:small_blue_diamond: More control:
Users can specifically define in which chats memories should be stored instead of enabling or disabling the feature globally for all conversations.

:small_blue_diamond: Better privacy:
Temporary chats could be used without storing any memories, making them ideal for spontaneous or one-time conversations.

:small_blue_diamond: Optimized usage:
Users working on multiple topics with ChatGPT (e.g., one chat for personal notes, another for programming questions) can manage memories more efficiently, preventing unwanted overlap.

Hello,

I find that working on a canvas still has limitations by means of its capability to process what we are making together.

I would like for it to be possible to have multiple canvasses open when working with the same GPT. So for instance that we can work on chapter 1 in the first canvas and when we continue to chapter 2 in the same chat we work in a new canvas. This way the info remains present and the GPT maintains the processing capacity for the new chapter.
