Should GPT let users mark important conversation flows?

:pushpin: Title: Proposal โ€” โ€œMark Important Conversation Flowsโ€ Feature for More Efficient Interactions with GPT

Hello,
Iโ€™m a long-term ChatGPT user running extended dialogue-based projects.
This post is based on a UI suggestion I previously submitted to the OpenAI support team. Iโ€™m now sharing it here to open the idea up to broader discussion with the user community.


:light_bulb: Summary: Let Users Mark the Importance of Entire Conversation Flows

Currently, ChatGPTโ€™s interface includes :+1::-1: feedback for individual responses,
but thereโ€™s no way to mark the importance of an entire flow of conversation.

As a result, users must:

  • Write extra instructions whenever they want GPT to remember something important
  • Re-explain or deprioritize less relevant conversations manually

This makes long, nuanced interactions harder to manage, especially for those using GPT as a project collaborator or thinking partner.

To improve this, I propose adding simple, intuitive buttons that help users guide GPT without extra typing.


:white_check_mark: Suggested Features

  • [Mark as Important Flow]
    Highlights a conversation segment as important, so GPT actively reflects that context moving forward.
  • [Ignore / Low Priority Flow]
    Tells GPT to deprioritize this segment for now โ€” helping users stay focused.
  • [Bookmark]
    Allows users to manually save and revisit key parts of their conversations.
  • [Auto-Summarize (Optional)]
    Enables automatic summarization of important or ignored flows (only with user consent).

:pushpin: Expected Benefits

  • Users can steer GPT interactions more effectively without relying on complex commands.
  • Long-term and log-style conversations become easier to manage.
  • It becomes simple to emphasize what matters and set aside what doesnโ€™t โ€” without losing context.
  • GPT becomes more intuitive, project-friendly, and user-driven in daily use.

:man_raising_hand:t2: Why Iโ€™m Proposing This

Iโ€™m not a developer or someone with formal IT training.
In fact, that may be why I focused so much on intuitive design โ€” how anyone can guide GPT without technical complexity.

This idea emerged from real usage pain points and workflow needs.
I believe it reflects challenges many ChatGPT users face, not just myself.


:megaphone: Why Iโ€™m Sharing It Here

This proposal was previously shared with OpenAI Support,
and I received a kind reply confirming it was passed to the internal team.

However, as some time has passed without further updates,
I wanted to bring the idea to the community โ€” in hopes of opening dialogue, gathering feedback, and showing broader user interest.

If this feature resonates with you, or if you have suggestions for improving it,
Iโ€™d truly appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks for reading!
