OpenAI rolled out the projects to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Teams subscribers on Friday. However, ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu users will have to wait until January to access the new functionality. The company said it will “work hard” to bring projects in ChatGPT to all users. Projects can be accessed on the ChatGPT website or the Windows desktop application.

However, users of projects on ChatGPT can still access other ChatGPT features in conversations, such as voice mode, web search, and canvas.
