OpenAI has introduced a new feature called Archive Chats for its AI-powered chatbot, ChatGPT. The feature allows users to organize and revisit their conversations, adding an extra layer of privacy and control.
Currently available on ChatGPT’s web and iOS versions, OpenAI plans to expand the Archive Chats feature to the Android version as well. By archiving chats, users can remove them from their sidebar without deleting them, keeping the main chat interface clutter-free.
The Archive Chats feature is designed like a digital filing cabinet where users can store their conversations with ChatGPT. OpenAI shared a GIF file demonstrating how the feature works, showing a new icon that users can click to access the archive menu.
From the menu, users can choose to archive either the entire conversation or specific chats. They can access their archived chats through the main menu or the dedicated Archive tab, making it convenient to find and retrieve old conversations.
To further simplify the process, OpenAI has included a search function in Archive Chats. Users can search for dates, keywords, or participants to quickly locate a specific archived conversation.
One significant advantage of the Archive Chats feature is its ability to help users recall important information from past conversations. By storing chat history, ChatGPT becomes a valuable tool for knowledge retention.
In addition to aiding users, the Archive Chats feature also contributes to their privacy. OpenAI is providing users with greater control over their conversations by allowing them to selectively archive and manage their chats, enabling them to decide which information remains readily accessible.
Addressing concerns over potential misuse of AI chatbots, OpenAI is committed to protecting its users. Recently, the company announced plans to pay researchers to study and control superintelligent AI systems, demonstrating its dedication to ensuring user safety.
By introducing Archive Chats, OpenAI has empowered ChatGPT users to maintain a tidy interface while easily retrieving older conversations when needed. With enhanced privacy control and knowledge retention capabilities, ChatGPT continues to evolve as a reliable AI-powered chatbot.
