From Chat Tool to Dev Platform: Introducing Project-Aware Context in ChatGPT #1674

Feature Request: Project Context Memory for Long Conversations

As a developer using ChatGPT for project-based workflows, I often encounter these issues:

  1. Long conversations become slow (UI lag)
  2. Starting a new conversation loses all project context
  3. I have to repeatedly paste schema, code structure, and rules

Suggested solution:

When a conversation appears to be project-based, ChatGPT could:

  1. Detect and suggest creating a "Project Context"

  2. Automatically summarize key elements:

    • Tech stack
    • Database schema
    • Core modules
    • Naming conventions
  3. When starting a new conversation:

    • Prompt user to select an existing project context
    • Load it as initial context

This would significantly improve developer productivity and reduce repeated input.

Target users:

  • Developers
  • Long-session workflows
  • System design discussions

This feature would turn ChatGPT from a chat tool into a project-aware assistant.
