I'd love it if it had a "zoomed out" tree-like view that makes all the different paths of conversation viewable at once

That's sort of a mind map. We are building/experimenting with something like this . https://iwtlnow.microschools.in/

You can either enter your GPT key, or fill in the form here https://learn.microschools.in/ and we'll give you access if you'd like to give it a spin.

crrriispy ui dude. This is like that custom prompt people were sharing for gpt where it would preempt three relevant follow up questions.

what heuristic are you using for making words clickable?

i recommend making the links just hardcode old-school blue and purple. make it obvious you can click these things. "dive on in" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DElxVXS7PD0

This is very good. I can't put my finger on it, but it seems more important than a mere "gimmick." I noticed that if you click on a topic already explored, it won't open again. That's cool, I'd make it snap back to the pane where it's open. Kudos! This is an interesting perspective on how we really need to put a little more effort into the UX of LLMs.

Let me see if I can articulate it.

You know how a human conversation can have multiple threads? And ten minutes in, you find the topic has totally changed and you're trying to figure out the original topic? Sometimes you can get back to it, sometimes you can't, right?

Obviously it's not quite the same when you can see prompt history, but the conversation is still pretty linear. This pre-empts that problem by letting you fork thoughts.

Perhaps have it not scroll down as it generates the text? Invariably I have to scroll back to the top to start reading. You could have a mini-hud (growing line, with a small rectangle at the top showing the first page of text) which would let you see at a glance how much text is being generated, without interrupting reading. Or not; ChatGPT just keeps on vibrating the phone (iOS app) during text gen, with hovering ar…

I'd hate that. YouTube turned on vibration (a subtle tap) for videos whenever it reached automatically generated "key concepts" in (some) videos, with no option to disable it[1] so I had to finally disable all vibration on the phone:

Settings -> Accessibility -> Touch -> Vibration (off)
