ChatGPT can use the "Projects" feature to organize conversations: upload files, customize instructions, and tailor a dedicated ChatGPT experience for each conversation. It can also simply be used as a folder to group related conversations for better management.
This feature has been available in Claude before and is very practical.
” event, ChatGPT officially released this feature on the 7th day (Day 7).
Key features:
Integrate resources for easier management
Projects are built on custom GPTs (of type "Snorlax") and can consolidate conversations, files, and custom instructions, making them perfect for handling ongoing work or simply keeping everything organized.
Personalized project settings
Name your projects and add custom instructions to adjust ChatGPT's response style at any time. This allows ChatGPT to focus on specific topics or use a particular tone and format. The custom instruction can be up to 8000 characters long. File Management
Add documents, code files, images, etc., and ChatGPT can access these file contents within the project. It is worth noting that when there are a large number of files in the project, it may lead to a decrease in response quality. Migrate conversations easily
You can move existing conversations into a project for better unified management and reference.
The possible predecessor might be an improved version of the previously discovered "Gizmo Rolodex"!
User settings example
On X.com, many users have shared their Project setup methods. Projects have turned ChatGPT into a productivity + project management tool. Some common setup ideas include:
A new project for each department
Categorize relevant conversations into corresponding department projects to facilitate team collaboration and management.
Organize chat content by topic
File related chat records into the corresponding project to prevent information fragmentation.
Store frameworks and ideas
Place frameworks or inspirations that may be needed in the future into projects for easy access and reuse.
Trial experience
I recently tried out the Projects feature, and it really is convenient!
For example, I submitted the materials for a 4-day course in Cambridge and our company's relevant introduction into one project. Then, within the project, ChatGPT provided various specific suggestions based on the theories from the course, tailored to our company's actual situation.
