Feature Request: Conversation Library / Chat Inventory Tool

OpenAI Developer Community May 24, 2026

would like to suggest a Conversation Library feature for ChatGPT users who have accumulated many chats over time. After using ChatGPT seriously for long-term writing, research, and project development, I now have hundreds of conversation threads. The current sidebar is not sufficient for managing that volume. Archived chats are useful, but there is no easy way to see a complete inventory of existing chats, sort them, tag them, or decide what should be kept, archived, exported, or deleted. A useful Conversation Library could include: * Total number of chats * List of all chat titles * Date created and date last updated * Active / archived status * Message count or approximate length * Search and filter across all chats * User-created tags or folders * Bulk archive / delete / export * Option to export selected conversations * Ability to sort by title, date, project, or activity This would be especially valuable for users who treat ChatGPT as a long-term workspace rather than a disposable chat tool. Writers, researchers, students, professionals, and project-based users need a better way to manage accumulated conversations. In short: ChatGPT needs an inventory ledger, not just a sidebar. SGC
