I’ve always wanted better search and chat organization. But I’m at a place where I can’t determine if the ephemeral UX of chatting with AI (ChatGPT, Claude) isn’t actually better. Most chats I want to save these days are things like code snippets that I’m not ready to integrate yet.

You could join my native, cross-platform client waitlist[1] if you're looking to use your OpenAI API key. Work-in-progress but it's coming along pretty fast.

There are two technologies I use every day that demonstrate a company is capable of solving an incredibly hard problem, X, while completely dropping the ball on the presumable easier part of UX, Y. ChatGPT is one of those. Driving in my Tesla is the other. I'm not sure how or why it happens but I think it about it daily.

perhaps Y is harder to solve than you are assuming

The fact that you even need something like this shows how far we are from truly useful language models. Because ideally they should have all of the context of all of the messages in their mind, and so far we've had to manually manage that context for them.

But each chat has a unique link that you can just bookmark right?

To be fair this is less a language model problem, and more in the application layer around them.

Theoretically with an infinite context window a model would just work fine forever by shoving the entire conversation history into context with each request. But a message search/retrieval makes a lot more sense.

I think the long term AI chat is just relatively new as a UI pattern, and so it takes time to build patterns around it.

Ex: in 2023 I told GPT to answer all questions like a pirate. I never told it to stop doing that, so if we're loading every historical chat in memory, should it still be answering as a pirate?

Of course. But I use it dozens of times a day across dozens of projects. Many of the concepts are linked together. Intelligently indexing, linking, and referencing them seems like a pretty obvious feature. I doubt I'm in the minority in expecting this.

It basically offers a much better user experience, than manually bookmarking each link

Personally I'll wait for OpenAI to add this feature directly. I'm sure they're working on it. I don't want this solution delivered in the form of an extension (one practical reason is I use ChatGPT from mobile a lot of the time). I have 0 extensions installed in general.

Why do you subject yourself to web ads?

I wish I could search through my chats more easily. But I don't want to download extensions, they are too security-unfriendly.

I learned today, that o-1 is able to search through all chats and can find and verify if the findings are relevant to the actual context. i found that very usefull as i have a lot of very long chats regarding only one project. ChatGpt lists the findings with the date and context and searches further back if asked for it. (in my case summer 2024)
