Feature request: Compact long ChatGPT conversations into a clean new thread
OpenAI Developer Community
May 30, 2026
Existing compaction in AI tools is usually optimized for token/context management: summarize older context, keep critical state, discard less relevant details.
The requested feature is slightly different: validity-aware compaction.
It should distinguish:
* active facts and decisions
* superseded decisions
* disproven hypotheses
* invalidated assistant claims / hallucinations
* user corrections that should become the new source of truth
This is especially important because ordinary summaries can accidentally preserve hallucinated claims as “things discussed.” A clean handoff should not preserve everything discussed; it should preserve only what remains valid.
