Hi OpenAI team
I really appreciate the new Projects feature in ChatGPT — it’s a huge step in the right direction for long-term work and organization.
That said, it’s currently really hard to stay organized, especially when you’re juggling more than a few projects. I’d love to see some simple improvements to make Projects a lot more usable:
Here’s what would really help:
- Sort Projects by name or last opened
Right now, there’s no apparent order — not alphabetical, not by recency, nothing. It gets chaotic fast.- Folders or nested sub-projects
Being able to group related work (e.g., under “Learning” or “Business” or “Creative”) would make a huge difference.- Tags or labels
Let me tag projects with things like “Active,” “Reference,” “Archive,” or use custom tags like “RPG,” “Accounting,” etc.- Pin projects to the top
Like with chats, this would let me keep my current top 3–5 projects easily accessible.- Filter by tag, type, or activity
Once you’ve got 20+ projects, it’s overwhelming. Some basic filters would save tons of scrolling.
Why this matters:
Projects have so much potential to be a true workspace. But without these organization features, it becomes hard to find, manage, or navigate your own work — especially for users doing serious writing, programming, research, or multi-step learning.
Thanks for all you’re building — and I hope this feedback helps move Projects to the next level!
