OpenAI, in a grand reimagining, has bestowed upon ChatGPT a Claude-like feature known as Projects. In a spectacle during Friday’s “12 Days of OpenAI” extravaganza, the company unveiled the integration of a folder system titled “Projects” within the chatbot. This innovative tool aims to assist users in tidily arranging their conversations and data. As the curtains rose, showcasing this marvel, Thomas Dimson, a luminary of OpenAI, likened these folders to intelligent allies designed to streamline organization.
Behold, as the ChatGPT Projects feature emerges, reminiscent of Claude’s essence. It empowers users to curate their documents and safeguard previous dialogues within designated Project folders, all centered around a particular theme. Imagine utilizing ChatGPT for research on a manuscript; envision consolidating your notes, manuscripts, and references into a single Project folder—no need to repeatedly share them in subsequent conversations.
Introducing Projects—a beacon of light illuminating the path to organized dialogues sharing common themes and contexts. This revolutionary feature debuts for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users worldwide. Stay tuned, for Enterprise and Edu users shall witness this marvel in January, while Free users shall partake in its wonders shortly.
In a stirring tale spun during the live broadcast, envision uploading home maintenance logs and appliance particulars to a Projects folder. Herein lies the promise of swift and efficient retrieval when seeking guidance from ChatGPT on tasks such as replacing your fridge’s water filter. Dimson expressed, “Users can now navigate their home projects with ease, ensuring seamless access to vital information at their fingertips.”
Unlike the grand reveals of other features unveiled throughout the 12 Days festivity, Projects commenced its endeavor during the live broadcast. The enchantment begins with ChatGPT Plus, Teams, and Pro subscribers, with access for Enterprise and Edu users set for early advent in the forthcoming year. OpenAI vows to extend the grace of Projects to its free users without delay.
The symphony of OpenAI’s seasonal gala plays on, reaching its midpoint. Thus far, the company has showcased the Sora video generator, the complete edition of the o1 reasoning model, a distinguished $200 Pro subscription tier, and enhancements to the esteemed Canvas feature. The performance shall continue until the closing act at the week’s end.
