Feature Request: Allow Per-Project Plugin Settings in ChatGPT #2438

📣 Title:
🧩 Feature Request: Allow Per-Project Plugin Settings in ChatGPT

📄 Body:
Hi OpenAI team,

As a frequent and serious user of ChatGPT, I’d like to share a clear and impactful usability improvement that would significantly enhance productivity for users who manage multiple workflows within ChatGPT.

💡 Request Summary
Currently, ChatGPT allows us to create project folders to organize conversations by theme or purpose. However, all plugin/tool settings (e.g. Web Browsing, Code Interpreter, DALL·E) are still applied globally across the entire account.

This creates a disconnect:

"If you're giving us project-based conversation management, the plugin/tool environment should also follow that context."

🔧 What We're Requesting

  1. Project-specific plugin configurations

Each project (or folder) should allow independent settings for tools.

Example:

📁 "Coding Experiments" → GPT-4 + Code Interpreter ON

📁 "YouTube Scriptwriting" → GPT-4 + DALL·E ON

📁 "Daily Journal" → GPT-3.5 + all tools OFF

  1. Automatic tool switching based on context (optional future enhancement)

Ideally, ChatGPT should be able to auto-activate relevant tools based on the user’s prompt (e.g., activate Web tool for real-time data, Code tool for calculations).

If that’s too complex for now, at least provide per-project tool presets.

  1. Folder-level search scope

Searching across all conversations returns too many loosely related results.

We need the ability to search within a specific project/folder only, to reduce irrelevant hits and improve precision.

🧠 Why It Matters
Reduces repeated tool toggling between sessions

Prevents context/tool mismatches that cause incorrect or incomplete responses

Matches the user's mental model of a "workspace" or "project environment"

Enhances multitasking between coding, writing, research, and ideation workflows

✅ Technical Feasibility
This seems technically straightforward:
Each project/folder already has a unique ID and metadata. Mapping tool preferences to that ID (via local state or stored settings) is a lightweight change.

Example structure:

{
"project_id_xyz": {
"web_tool": true,
"code_tool": false,
"dalle_tool": true
}
}
🙏 Conclusion
This is not just a convenience feature — it directly impacts how efficiently professionals, students, and creators use ChatGPT for real-world tasks.
We hope this gets serious consideration in the product roadmap.

Thanks always for your incredible work, and for listening to your users.

— A dedicated ChatGPT user
