OpenAI Introduces "Projects" Feature in ChatGPT
Introducing a New Way to Organize Your Conversations
OpenAI is rolling out a new feature called "Projects" to ChatGPT, a folder system that makes it easier to organize your conversations while using the AI chatbot. This feature allows users to create a list of projects, which can be customized with titles, icons, and files, and can also include previous chats to keep track of them.
How Does it Work?
As shown in a demo video, your list of projects will appear in the sidebar. You can create a new project by editing the title, setting a color for the project’s icon, and adding files or instructions to tailor how ChatGPT responds to things in that individual project. You can also add previous chats to your project to keep track of them.
Use Cases for Projects
The new feature seems like a pretty useful way to keep track of, for lack of a better word, your projects. During the demo video, an OpenAI employee showed examples of how they use Projects to plan for a Secret Santa gift exchange and for home maintenance. Depending on your needs, it could be a better way to work on a project than my usual method, which is dumping everything I can think of into an Apple Note.
Rollout Schedule
Projects is rolling out today to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Teams users. It will come to free users "as soon as possible" and to Enterprise and Edu users "early in the new year," according to OpenAI CPO Kevin Weil.
