ChatGPT Missing Features

Gaps

• Search (on the web) to find the right previous conversation.
• Edit (on mobile) previous message in a conversation.
• Costs incurred so far

Unique

• Only pay for what you use: Great if you use it occasionally

• Having access to my gmail. Then I can ask it questions about past messages or people, or to summarize a thread, or to draft a new message and put it in my inbox so I can finish that and send it.
• Having access to my calendar so I can ask questions about my day, ask it to help me schedule meetings.
• A desktop app version could be more deeply integrated into my computer. I could ask it to change a setting within my Mac Settings. I could ask it to find a file on my computer. It could easily read my clipboard or add things to my clipboard or have a hot key to invoke it (like Cmd+space) from any place and it could live in the Mac menu bar.
• Ability to speak to it and have it speak back, on my desktop computer, rather than just my phone.
• Ability for it to know what I’m looking at on my screen and answer questions about it.
• Pin conversations in the sidebar to have them stick to the top, and then ideally you can drag to re-order your pinned conversations.
• Group conversations into folders maybe once you have at least one pinned conversation, then you can drag any other conversation on top of it and it creates a folder that you can then name. Groups/folders can then be dragged to be reordered.
• I like the Folders idea. I thought of those as Projects, and each Project could be shared with a different set of people.
• Delete a previous message & reply within a conversation. We can currently edit a previous message, and then that will trigger a new response. (“I know I can start a new chat, but sometimes I like having one long theme in one chat, and I'd love to be able to "toss" something in the middle at times that I can't seem to do.”)
• See which conversations have images within them. “Sometimes I generate an image within a thread and can't remember exactly where I did that, so if it had a way to show an attachment, like an email does, or some indicator that something other than text is in a chat, that would make it easier to search for! ”
• Allow importing conversation history from ChatGPT
• Show the answer as a Vizz.
• Knowing when the context window was not able to see the full conversation.
• When responding with HTML/CSS/Javascript code, 1-click "hosting" of the generated code so you can try it out in your browser. Could be expanded to other languages via Replit/Render integration.
• When coding, auto-check that the variable names and function names it expects to exist in the codebase actually exist.
• Ability to search Google Maps. e.g. Date night restaurants close to Acrosports SF.
• Ability to do multi-step research. "What's the best use of my 10,300 Alaska miles?" -- breaks down task into a miles-based search between many destinations over a date range.
• Ability to have a tiny web server that's listening on a specific port on localhost so it can talk to a chrome toolbar or a desktop app and give it instructions to go and do something outside of the chat interface. e.g. Send a message via web messenger or iMessage. Go join a Facebook group.
• Gather responses from multiple models for the same prompt so the user can choose which model to continue the rest of the conversation with. Different models might be better at different tasks.
• Fun report / graph showing dots for days you've used it, how many messages per day, etc (kind of like github commit graphic)
• Autosave text when you type something to your chat bot and then accidentally close the browser tab (or inadvertently refresh) it loses what you typed. It should auto-save and then reappear when you come back so you can finish typing and then submit.
• Make a sound when don't generating a response
• Add a SupportBot as a default assistant
