Feature Request: Inline "Mini-Chat" Pop-up for Quick Clarifications
OpenAI Developer Community
May 17, 2026
Hey @adhavgarg! Totally get the friction here. I can see how jumping all the way back to the bottom input box can break the flow when you just want to ask about one specific part of a long response.
The closest workaround right now is to branch into a new chat, which makes it easier to explore a side question or different direction without losing the original thread. It’s not quite the same as an inline mini-chat, but it can help keep the main conversation cleaner for now.
I can’t share a timeline right now, but I’ll pass this feedback along internally.
