OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT has been demoing and announcing new features since last week. As part of its ongoing ‘shipmas’ celebrations, the Sam Altman-led company announced it is rolling out “Projects” for ChatGPT, a handy tool that makes it easier for users to organise things they are working on.

In a demo video, OpenAI employees said that Projects would appear on the left sidebar and that users can customise things like the title and the colour of the project icon. Users can also add files and instructions to ChatGPT to modify how the AI chatbot responds to things in a project and even import previous chats to existing projects.

To create a new project, open ChatGPT and click on the + button that appears next to Project on the top right of the page. Now, give your project a name and proceed to tap on the “Create Project” button. OpenAI says Projects will use GPT-40 and that users won’t be able to change the default model.

OpenAI employees also shared examples of using ChatGPT’s new Projects feature to plan a Secret Santa gift exchange and keep track of home maintenance. ChatGPT Projects are currently available for Plus, Pro and Teams users and will be coming to Enterprise and Education users “early in the new year.” The company also said that the feature will be available for free users “as soon as possible.”

The new feature is unveiled as part of OpenAI’s 12-day-long ongoing shipmas. To give you a quick recap, previous releases include the much anticipated text-to-video AI model Sora, the new Canvas feature and a ChatGPT Pro subscription that costs $200 per month.
