Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence company OpenAI has announced a new “Projects” feature for its chatbot ChatGPT. As part of its ongoing “12 days of OpenAI” announcements, the newly introduced Projects feature offers a more efficient way to organise chats in ChatGPT.
ChatGPT Projects: Details
Projects in ChatGPT function like a folder, enabling users to save all their chats on a specific topic together for easier access.
Projects appear in the side panel on the left, where users can edit the title, set a colour for the project icon, and customise the project to make it more recognisable. In addition to grouping chats on the same topic, users can upload files and save instructions to customise ChatGPT’s responses within that specific project. Users can also add existing chats to a newly created project.
The new Canvas interface and ChatGPT Search are also accessible within Projects.
