Suggestion: Add stateless mode (one-time requests) to ChatGPT

Hello, OpenAI team and community! :waving_hand:

I often use ChatGPT for one-off tasks: translation, string generation, text correction, brief explanations.
In such cases, I don’t need dialogue, context accumulation, or history preservation — just a single isolated response.

Currently, ChatGPT defaults to a dialogue using previous messages. Even when manually attempting to “reset” the chat through instructions, the model’s behavior remains unpredictable.


:light_bulb: Suggestion

Add a stateless mode and incognito mode when creating a new chat, which does not use the current or previous history.


:wrench: How it might look:

  • When you click “+ New Chat” → additional options are displayed:
    • :white_check_mark: Stateless Chat — the model receives only the current message;
    • :detective: Incognito — the chat does not use previous history (including the “previous” incognito chat);
    • :speech_balloon: Hint: “Each message in this chat will be treated as a separate request.”

  • :hammer_and_wrench: Convenience for technical users who don’t need dialogue — only results.

:gear: Possible implementations

  • Button: + New chat (StatelessCHAT)

  • Item in the tool window (search the web, deep search, conduct research, etc.): ⛔️ Do not use history

  • API parameter:

    {
    “context”: false,
    “mode”: “stateless”
    }

:white_check_mark: Summary

Stateless + Incognito mode is a fast, transparent, and honest way to interact with the model for one-step tasks.
This mode is ideal for many real-world use cases and will help reduce the load on the model.

Thank you for your attention! :raising_hands:
I would be delighted if this idea were taken into account in the future development of ChatGPT.
