Description:
Currently, BetterChatGPT allows the creation of folders to organize different types of work. To enhance this functionality, I propose the ability to save a unique system prompt for each folder. This feature will allow for better separation and context-specific interactions. For example, a folder dedicated to UI/UX work will have a system prompt related to UI/UX, and when a new chat is created within this folder, it will automatically initialize with the relevant system prompt.
Motivation:
This feature will provide several benefits:
  • Improved Organization:
    Users can maintain distinct contexts for different types of projects without manually setting the system prompt each time.
  • Efficiency:
    Streamlines workflow by reducing the need to repetitively configure system prompts for new chats within a folder.
  • Contextual Relevance:
    Ensures that all interactions within a specific folder are relevant and consistent with the folder's purpose.
Proposed Implementation:
  1. Folder-Level Settings:
    Add an option in the folder settings to specify a system prompt.
  2. Default Initialization:
    When a new chat is created within a folder, it automatically initializes with the folder’s system prompt.
  3. Override Option:
    Allow users to override the default system prompt at the chat level if needed.
Example Use Case:
  1. Create a folder named "UI/UX".
  2. Set the system prompt for the "UI/UX" folder to: "You are a helpful assistant specializing in user interface and user experience design."
  3. Any new chat initiated within the "UI/UX" folder will start with the specified system prompt, ensuring relevant assistance.
Additional Context:
  • This feature should be intuitive and seamlessly integrate into the existing folder management system.
  • Consider adding an option to edit the system prompt directly from the folder view for quick adjustments.
Potential Challenges:
  • Ensuring backward compatibility with existing folders and chats.
  • User interface adjustments to incorporate the new settings option.
Priority:
