Feature request: intelligent chat history management Long-term ChatGPT users can accumulate hundreds or thousands of chats. The current tools — rename, archive, delete, search, and projects — are not enough to manage that history at scale. ChatGPT should be able to help users organize their own chat history intelligently, including: * Bulk archive/delete suggestions * AI-generated summaries for old chats * Automatic topic clustering * Project recommendations * Colour labels or tag labels * “Active / Archive / Junk” classification * Ability to create a master archive index * Safe review-before-delete workflow * Search by remembered topic, not just exact title/text * Migration tools for moving related chats into Projects Example user request: “Clean up my history. Keep active projects visible, archive old useful chats, delete obvious junk, and create a project index.” The assistant should be able to propose a plan, show the suggested changes, let the user approve, and then apply them. This would make ChatGPT feel less like a pile of old conversations and more like an actual long-term assistant.
