  "textContent": "Feature Request: Nested Projects / Sub-projects in ChatGPT\n\nI would like to suggest a feature that allows users to create Projects inside existing Projects, following a folder and sub-folder structure.\n\nProblem\n\nCurrently, a Project is useful for maintaining a specific context, files, instructions, and sources around a broader area of work. However, complex work often requires multiple sub-tasks that each need their own dedicated context, sources, files, and instructions.\n\nIn many cases, I need to work on a complex task that belongs to a larger Project, but the task itself requires a separate and more specific workspace. If I create a completely separate Project, I lose the broader context of the main Project. If I keep everything inside the same Project, the context can become too crowded, mixed, or difficult to manage.\n\nProposed Solution\n\nAdd the ability to create sub-projects inside a main Project.\n\nA sub-project should be able to:\n\n  * inherit the context, files, and instructions from the main Project;\n  * have its own additional instructions, files, sources, and conversations;\n  * stay logically connected to the parent Project;\n  * allow users to organize complex work into a hierarchy, similar to folders and sub-folders.\n\n\n\nFor example:\n\n\n    Main Project: Company Strategy\n      ├── Sub-project: Market Research\n      ├── Sub-project: Competitor Analysis\n      ├── Sub-project: Financial Model\n      └── Sub-project: Investor Presentation\n\n\nEach sub-project would use the general context of “Company Strategy”, while also maintaining its own specialized context and sources.\n\nExample Use Case\n\nSuppose I have a main Project for a company, product, or research initiative. Inside that Project, I may need to run several complex tasks: market analysis, legal research, technical documentation, financial planning, content strategy, and presentation development.\n\nEach of these tasks needs different files, sources, and instructions. However, they all depend on the same broader context from the main Project.\n\nNested Projects would allow me to keep the global context at the parent level, while creating focused workspaces for each specific task.\n\nWhy This Matters\n\nThis would make Projects much more useful for users who work on complex, long-term, or professional workflows.\n\nThe main benefits would be:\n\n  * better organization of complex work;\n  * cleaner context management;\n  * less confusion between unrelated sub-tasks;\n  * easier handling of task-specific sources;\n  * stronger continuity between a broad project and its individual workstreams;\n  * a more scalable Project structure for research, business, product development, writing, legal work, education, and consulting.\n\n",
