ChatGPT Projects: your chats and files in 1 place
What a project does
Shared context: files and chats in 1 project work together.
Own instructions: you give the project fixed guidelines, for example the tone it should write in.
Overview: everything about 1 topic is in one place.
How to start
Create a new project with the plus icon.
Upload the files that belong to it and set your instructions.
Start a chat. Everything in the project is connected.
You move existing chats into a project through the options next to the chat.
Also in Claude
Claude has the same idea under the name Projects. It works the same way: fixed context and instructions per topic, so you keep building on them. We work this way every day. First set the context right, then ask your questions.
What your team gains
A good project is a fixed partner for 1 task: writing quotes, answering customer mails, drafting meeting notes. Your team does not have to start from scratch every time.
