What Are ChatGPT Projects?

ChatGPT Projects is a feature that helps you keep your AI conversations and data organized. Think of Projects like folders or workspaces within ChatGPT. Instead of a long, cluttered list of unrelated chats, you can group related conversations together under a named Project. For example, you might have a “Marketing Ideas” project where all your ad copy chats live, separate from your “Learning Spanish” project with language practice chats. What’s more, Projects don’t just hold chats – you can also attach files and set custom instructions specific to that project. OpenAI introduced this feature to improve workflow management: each Project can have its own context. According to First AI Movers, OpenAI added Projects so you can group related chats, files, and even prompt instructions together – essentially personal AI folders for each topic. This means if you’re working on a coding project, you can upload your code files and have all related discussions in one place, or if you’re writing a report, keep the outline, sources, and drafts in one project. It makes ChatGPT feel more like an organized workspace rather than just a chat app.

Keep in mind that as of early 2025, Projects are available to ChatGPT Plus/Pro and Enterprise users (the feature initially rolled out during OpenAI’s “12 Days of OpenAI” event). In short, ChatGPT Projects help you stay organized by separating different tasks into their own spaces, each with relevant chats and attachments. No more scrolling through dozens of past conversations – everything for a given topic is neatly tucked into its Project.

Give Projects a try – organize your next ChatGPT task into a Project and see the productivity boost of a clutter-free AI workspace!
