OpenAI Academy Publishes Guide to Using ChatGPT Projects
What shipped
OpenAI Academy published a guide on April 10, 2026 explaining how to use ChatGPT Projects to organize chats, files, and instructions for ongoing work and collaboration.
Smarter Work
Before: chats pile up in a flat list and context resets every session. After: Projects keep related chats, files, and custom instructions bundled together so ongoing work stays organized and doesn't require constant re-setup.
How a team used this
Tomás is a marketing strategist juggling four campaigns at once. Every week he'd spend 10 minutes at the start of each ChatGPT session re-explaining brand voice, uploading briefs, and digging through old chats for continuity. After reading the Projects guide, he sets up a dedicated project per campaign — each with uploaded assets and standing instructions baked in. Now he opens a project and the context is just there. He estimates he's saving 30–40 minutes a week, and the work actually builds on itself instead of starting over.
