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

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.
