ChatGPT needs a modular workspace for long-term thinking, not just infinite chat

I came across a statement recently that auto-compaction has pretty much solved long chat memory, but I do not agree with that framing. It does not take much complexity for an AI to forget or skip important parts of a conversation, especially when those parts are tied to the model’s own reasoning process. In the context of this feature request, I do not think there can be one solution that fits every workflow. As the operators, we know what matters when and need to implement methods to regularly remind the model to consider the relevant context. If the model then still fails to account for the important parts of the conversation, we can at least reassess where the workflow needs to improve.
