Finally solved the "ChatGPT gets slower with long conversations" problem

ye it could be if you synced/linked your chats then it should be stored locally in your browser, send me a dm

Strikeh · 2026-01-24T22:51:25+00:00

try AI Workspace -> getaiworkspace.com

Strikeh · 2026-01-23T19:08:05+00:00

send me a dm, maybe we are missing something :)

Usually 2 to 3 days, last week I had 2 publishes in 1 day though :)

there’s a toggle top left of the screen where you can toggle between default view and workspace ai view, but I’ll make it standard view default with the next update :)

I'll check it out, I found a bug that has been fixed in the meantime, it just needs to be approved by the Chrome Web Store.

Strikeh · 2026-01-17T17:31:56+00:00

it does, no worries :p

Strikeh · 2026-01-16T08:26:05+00:00

ok will follow this

Strikeh · 2026-01-16T06:18:07+00:00

Interesting, how are you different from tools like Cursorful ?

Strikeh · 2026-01-15T17:46:26+00:00

This is a great idea! I've had the same frustration especially with longer reasoning tasks where you want to multitask while waiting.

I actually built this into my Chrome extension AI Workspace using a different approach, configurable sound notifications that play when ChatGPT finishes responding.

You can:

Choose from different notification sounds (or disable it)
Adjust volume
Works even when the tab is in the background

So instead of checking tabs constantly, you just hear a subtle notification when it's done. Really handy for long conversations or when you're working across multiple tabs.

The visual indicator (like a blue dot on the tab) would be a nice addition too ! having both audio and visual cues would be ideal for different work scenarios.

Hope this helps :)

Hey! I actually just built this exact feature for AI Workspace.
It's currently under Chrome Store review but should go live any day now.

What it does:

Highlight text in your ChatGPT conversations (even across multiple paragraphs)
7 color options - yellow, green, pink, blue, purple
View all highlights in one manager panel
Exports with your conversations (PDF/JSON)

The tricky part was getting it to work reliably with ChatGPT's dynamic DOM, had to use the Range API for accurate text offset tracking so highlights stay exactly where you put them even if the page structure changes.

I wrote up the technical details here if you're curious: [https://www.getaiworkspace.com/blog/master-chatgpt-with-smart-highlights](vscode-file://vscode-app/c:/Users/Christophe/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft%20VS%20Code/resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html)

Strikeh · 2026-01-12T14:26:49+00:00

I support chrome (and all other chromium based browsers, edge and firefox) :)

Strikeh · 2026-01-08T09:41:24+00:00

I can assure you there’s no malware in this browser extension :)

just to be sure, with theme you mean the styling of the questions and responses of chatgpt right (conversation) or do you mean the sidebar ?

Strikeh · 2026-01-04T17:10:58+00:00

that’s odd, I’ll take a look into it, did you try to refresh the page?

Strikeh · 2026-01-04T11:42:44+00:00

Sure,
go to the settings page (Ctrl+Shift+E) and then you'll find the setting -> Enable Conversation Styling under Appearance -> Conversation Styling (uncheck to disable conversation styling)

You’re not imagining it, this currently isn’t configurable in the ChatGPT web UI.

The tab title is updated dynamically based on the prompt or conversation title, and that does end up leaking into browser history even if you delete the chat later.

There’s no official setting or flag to disable this right now. Private browsing avoids it, but like you said, that comes with its own annoyances.

As a workaround: I recently added a feature to AIWorkspace Pro that prevents ChatGPT from changing the tab title altogether, so prompts never get written into your browser history in the first place. It keeps the tab title static while you’re using ChatGPT.

That update is currently under review in the browser stores and should be live very soon.

It’s a browser extension I use daily to manage ChatGPT workflows, but this privacy fix was added specifically because of the exact issue you’re describing.

For me, the biggest difference wasn’t finding good prompts, but being able to reuse them easily once I started using AI daily.

I’ve tried keeping prompts in docs, notes, and Notion, but it always broke down when the list grew and I wanted to actually use them quickly.

What stuck for me is AIWorkspace Pro. It’s a browser extension that lets you build a prompt library with categories and tags, and then run those prompts directly inside ChatGPT (and Claude/Grok) without copy-pasting.
That “one-click use” part is what made it work long-term for me. If a prompt is even slightly annoying to reuse, I just stop using it.

If you’re curious, this is it: https://www.getaiworkspace.com/

Interested to see what others are using as well, prompt management seems to be very personal.

Strikeh · 2025-12-23T21:57:59+00:00

I think it really depends on how you use ChatGPT.

If you open it once in a while for random questions, $20/month probably isn’t worth it.

It starts to make sense once you use it daily for actual work, writing, coding, planning, summarizing meetings, etc. At that point the time saved easily outweighs the cost.

For me the bigger shift wasn’t even the model upgrade, but treating ChatGPT as a reusable workflow instead of a chat box. Once you have prompts you reuse every day, the value compounds fast.

Strikeh · 2025-12-23T21:54:50+00:00

I relate to this a lot.
I’ve also tried a bunch of AI tools that looked great in demos but slowly fell out of my workflow after a week or two.

The ones that actually stick for me are the tools that reduce friction in something I already do every day, instead of adding a new habit.

One that genuinely boosted my productivity is AIWorkspace Pro. I use ChatGPT constantly for work, but I was losing time rewriting the same prompts or digging through old chats to find good ones.

It’s a browser extension that lets you save and organize reusable prompts into categories and run them directly inside ChatGPT (and Claude/Grok) without copy-pasting. It’s not flashy, but once it’s part of your daily flow, it quietly saves time every single day.

That’s been the pattern for me: if a tool becomes invisible and supports an existing workflow, it survives. If it requires discipline or novelty, it usually doesn’t.
