OpenAI released a brand-new feature on 4th September... you can now branch conversations in ChatGPT.
That means if you want to take a chat in a different direction, you don’t have to lose your original thread. Just hover over a message, click More actions (⋯), and select Branch in new chat to start fresh from that point.

This is available today for all logged-in users on web.
👉 Have you spotted this feature yet? How do you think you’ll use it?
I’ll be honest... I’m still struggling to find super practical use cases myself, but if I do, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, I’d love to hear your ideas on where branching could really help.
