Side chats in ChatGPT no longer expire or disappear when you restart the app! When I joined OpenAI, I found this to be one of the biggest pain points for side chat users, and as of today, it's fixed. Never lose data just because you updated, restarted, etc.

hi all, two things: 1. usage limits are back to being double – your feedback worked 2. we today kicked off an intense sprint to dramatically improve the app simplicity and performance. i will oversee this. more to come. now, send me your complaints

Pro Codex tip: 1. Get yourself a skill that babysits PRs. It should address feedback, handle merge conflicts, and navigate CI failures. It should alert you if it actually needs you. See openai/codex repo for a good one. 2. Create a new custom section in ChatGPT app called "🚢 Outbound". Drag some threads into it. 3. Create a new Codex thread and name it "🤖 PR Shepherd". Ask it to create a schedule to run every 15 mins. For every thread in the Outbound section, it should run the babysitter skill until the PR is green, then merge it, and finally archive the thread. When I'm done making a change in some thread, I ask for review from my team, chuck the thread in my Outbound section, and walk away.

I built a fun new project last week with Dots and Sites. It's a website that tracks my entire wardrobe, suggests outfits for me to wear (to break me out of my blue jeans comfort zone), and also adds suggestions for items I can buy to expand. I told ChatGPT to look through my purchase history and grab photos online of all the clothes I bought. That got most items, but I also took photos of missing items (bad photos in a poorly-lit closet) and I had ChatGPT just grab them out of my Photo Library via computer use. It then generated catalog-style images of everything with clean backgrounds and color correction while preserving logos and scuff marks and everything. Every day, my dot adds a few new outfits to it, all using image gen. Some are combinations of clothes I own and some link out to various websites for me to buy stuff. All of them use my likeness. I can hide the bad ones, favorite the good ones, and log the outfits I actually wear. We truly live in a world where your imagination (and a pro sub) is all you need to build incredible things.

I had a 30 minute drive tonight, and I used it to talk to ChatGPT (voice mode) about the midterm ballot. It walked through pros/cons of each initiative, dug into endorsements, and let me ask a bunch of stupid questions without judging. 100% recommended. Vote!

Y'all are building with human in the loop too often. If your SDLC has humans in the loop, it's not going to age well. Models aren't perfect, but that doesn't mean you should give up and do things yourself; improving the loop automation is extremely leveraged work.

If you're using Dots without pairing them with Sites or Space docs, you're leaving value on the table. Chat isn't always the right interface for every problem, but Sites/Space give you a much richer and more dynamic canvas for complex tasks.

Just sold some junk on Marketplace. I took a few pictures, then ChatGPT found 'em, figured out what the products/models were, figured out the best price, filled out all the forms, and only asked me to confirm on the last step. Made $400 in 20 minutes.

We need to be dog maxxing our models There is 0% chance of doom if the chain of thought is user: hello model: Oh my god it's a human. I love humans. I will say hi to him, maybe he will give me a problem to chase. I love chasing problems. I will chase the problem for him then he will love me and I will be his best friend. Must help human model: hello! what can I help you with today?

Codex pro tip: You can reference one thread from another just by @-mentioning or drag/dropping! You can also ask it to message or monitor others. Combine this with schedules and you can manage whole fleets of threads working together.
