San francisco: OpenAI announced that Projects in ChatGPT are now available to free users. Projects let you organize chats with the company’s AI assistant around a specific subject, and were previously one of several privileges only enjoyed by paid subscribers.

According to Qatar News Agency, Projects allow users to create custom workspaces where they can group chats, upload files, and manage research in a more structured way. Custom instructions can also be added within the project to specify the style of response or how to handle interactions, and this framework will apply only within that project and not elsewhere.

The feature comes with integrated memory, as ChatGPT remembers previous conversations and files, allowing users to continue work without needing to re-explain the context. Practically, this useful feature can be used in many situations and scenarios, such as creating a project to prepare for an exam by uploading textbooks and requesting review questions, or setting up a project for a marketing strategy by uploading notes, documents, and instructions for the AI to act as a marketing consultant based on the inputs.
