Mailto: Sam Altman – Could ChatGPT Support Threaded Side Chats?

1 oolu_bunmi 0 6/16/2025, 7:02:14 AM

Hi Sam.

Sometimes when I’m deep into a ChatGPT convo, I have a small follow-up question — like “what's a webhook again?” — but asking it derails the flow.

What if we could open a mini thread off a specific message — like Discord or Slack — to ask side questions without messing up the main conversation?

Could the current “temporary chat” feature evolve into something like this — a side convo anchored to a specific part of the main thread?

Feels like it’d make ChatGPT more useful for builders and deep work.

Thanks
