Some of us use ChatGPT so often that we modify prompts, change a word or a sentence, or use different models to get the results we want. This takes many conversations, and we need a way to keep everything organized.
Imagine if OpenAI could train its AI agents to help with this.
It feels like a missed opportunity that we still don’t have the option to organize conversations into folders, tabs, or with colors. I once made a post about this that got 200 upvotes, but OpenAI didn’t act on it (link to post).
I think this idea was even mentioned during an AMA? Still no change.
This would benefit both users and OpenAI, or any AI company reading this.

It’s kind of overwhelming sometimes to try to keep up with ChatGPT’s ability to generate so many ideas. Sometimes you just need to tag a conversation to come back to it later.
Claude projects, custom instructions, and the favorites feature cover 90% of what the person who posted this needs. But there are no nesting options beyond projects → conversation, which I get why the OP might want. And the knowledge base isn’t searchable either, which I think is also something OP would like.

You could always create a local wrapper that does what you need. You can probably build it in a couple of days if you have some technical skills.
I totally agree. Folders or tabs for organizing prompts would be super useful, especially for workflows or projects. It seems like a simple, much-needed feature that should have been added by now. If AI models were trained on how we organize things, they could improve their interactions with us.
Imagine if you could upload all your internet history—every Google search, every video you watched. That could help create a super detailed version of your personality, and you could use it to work on self-improvement.

They can. Some extensions have search functions that work with just the chat titles, but they’re still helpful. As far as I know, old chats don’t disappear unless you manually remove them. It’s better to have them than not have them. I’m not sure why using a Chrome extension would be a problem.

What I noticed is that conversations appear in ‘chunks.’ You can’t load all your conversations at once. You have to scroll, wait for a chunk to load, then scroll again to get to the older conversations. I’m not sure if those extensions work around that or just store the conversations from the day they’re installed.
