OpenAI has introduced Projects in ChatGPT, creating dedicated spaces for specific work areas. This feature helps users maintain context across conversations by storing chats, files, and instructions in one centralized location. Projects eliminate the need to repeatedly upload files or restate background information when continuing work over time.

The tool addresses scattered context issues in AI workflows. Users researching topics over days, refining drafts, or handling recurring planning processes can now maintain a stable working environment. Projects can be created from the left-hand menu, with options to set project instructions and move existing chats into the dedicated workspace.

For collaborative needs, Projects supports team sharing on certain plans, enabling multiple users to work from the same files and conversation history in real-time. Enterprise customers gain workspace-level management controls with role-based access, recognizing that ChatGPT usage extends beyond single conversations into ongoing projects requiring persistent context.
