ChatGPT’s ‘Branching Chats’ Could Be Its Most Useful Upgrade Yet ...Middle East

According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the feature had been introduced by popular request, and it's not difficult to imagine ways in which it could be useful. Think if it like being able to create threads on Slack or Discord—you can follow tangents and related ideas without cluttering up the main conversation.

In any of your conversations with ChatGPT, click the three dots at the end of a response, then choose Branch in new chat. A copy of the current conversation will open up in a new browser tab, and you'll see an extra chat in the navigation pane on the left, with "Branch" added to the start of its name.

OpenAI hasn't implemented this in a particularly elegant way, and the chats you've opened can quickly get unwieldy if you're doing a lot of branching. To help bring a bit of order you can rename chats, or delete them if you're sure you don't need them—click the three dots next to a chat in the navigation pane, or in the top right corner when a chat is open, to find these options.

You can also make use of ChatGPT Projects to put your chats in different folders that are kept separate from each other. Your branched conversations all stay in the same project, though you can create new projects and move chats between them as needed.

Say you're composing an email to your boss, telling them you can't stand to work another second under their management—but in a polite way. You can use multiple branch conversations to test out the phrasing using different tones and approaches, without having the same text repeated again and again in one chat.

There are also obvious use cases for coders. Branched conversations let you test out separate debugging strategies or design ideas simultaneously in different browser tabs—and there's always the option of retracing your steps and going back to where the branches first started.

You could even use branches to supply ChatGPT with the same basic blocks of information, then get it to answer the same questions but in different tones, using different lengths of response, or with any other variation.
