ChatGPT Projects keep related chats, files and instructions together. Here's how to set one up. Select New project in the sidebar.
Enter a name, then pick an icon and a color. Use one project per ongoing job, like a class or a trip. Add reference files, such as PDFs, spreadsheets, docs, images or pasted text.
Every chat in the project can use them. To add instructions, select the more options menu, then Project settings. For example: Act like my marketing mentor.
Be concise. Use bullet points. They apply only inside the project, and override your custom instructions.
Start new chats inside the project. To bring an old chat in, drag it onto the project, or open its menu and select Move to project. In Project settings, under Memory, pick Default memory or Project-only memory, then select Save.
With project-only memory, chats can't use conversations outside the project. A ChatGPT project holds only ChatGPT chats. Kortex Library folders can hold chats from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok.
Drag a chat onto a folder, or use Add to folder in its menu. One job, one project. Full steps and fixes are on our tutorial page.
