I need this to do serial fiction with ChatGPT
We have to be careful not to confuse ChatGPT’s ability to reference saved memory with its lack of ability to access chat content. As far as I understand, it cannot access separate chats, even within Projects. It can, however, pull from saved memory, providing insights and content.
It can reference information within the project, however you need to add that into the instruction. Here is the response it gave me when asked about its functionality within Projects:
“I can only access and use the information provided in the current conversation’s instructions or context. If there’s any specific information you want me to relate to or understand, it needs to be included in the project’s instructions or explicitly mentioned here.”
It can also access data that is uploaded to the project space. So lets say you were developing a story, and wanted it to refer to you previous work to extrapolate on. In this case you would summarise that work in its specific “Chat”, save it as a word doc or PDF and upload it to the project. However you will need to ask it to refer to that document in the prompt.
I just started using projects today, and for me it seems to be able to cross-reference information from one chat to another. What I loved about the project was that I able to organize various chats all referencing a group of files I uploaded to the project. For me it seemed that they were able to track what progress I made in other chats within each individual one.
To Tyrywey (original post), and you’re specific example. You may have some success with it if you created a project named “Health Tracking” or “Fitness Convos” or something like that. And if you have files documenting diet, or tracking your workout, then upload those files to the project. Then any chat you create within the project workspace can individually access and view information on any of those files. You may have tried this already, but if not it may work a little closer to what you are requesting. (I’ll attach a screenshot if it helps explain what I am trying to say lol)
But overall I agree, I feel like all chats should be able to cross-reference each other and access info from other chats. It would make the user experience as a whole far more seamless and smooth.
Yay, big progress! You can now use different models without having to move a chat out of the project folder.
I agree completely I thought the entire point was to be able to cross reference within the project folder itself. Before beginning a project within a project folder, I actually asked Chet GPT about it and it told me that it would be able to reference chats/threads within the same project folder, unlike Threads in the normal section. As far as I can tell, you can’t do this or I just haven’t figured it out seems. I’m not alone…
