A better way to ask contextual questions

OpenAI Developer Community May 9, 2026

Feature Request: Inline Side-Chat for Explanations Problem: When studying or coding in long chats, asking about a single confusing line, error, or concept in the same thread disrupts the main conversation and makes the chat cluttered. Proposed Solution: Allow users to highlight text and open a temporary floating or side mini-chat for explanations, debugging, translation, or follow-up questions without affecting the main thread. Benefits: * Keeps the main chat clean and focused * Improves study and coding workflows * Enables faster contextual learning * Reduces context disruption during long conversations Optional: Allow users to send useful answers back into the main chat if needed.
