Can't add a folder to your ChatGPT project? You may be in a browser tab

In short

A few business owners couldn't attach a folder to their AI project so it could keep their files and past work. They were using ChatGPT in a browser tab and didn't know there was a desktop app. They needed the app and a little training.

I've been teaching groups of business owners how to use AI with their own files, and the gaps are more basic than I expected. At one session I showed how to set up a project in ChatGPT or Claude with a folder attached. The project holds what the AI knows about your business and the work you've already done, so you're not starting from zero with every new chat.

A few people in the room couldn't add the folder. They were using ChatGPT in a browser tab and didn't know there was a desktop app. Once they switched, the AI could keep their files and past work. They didn't need a better prompt. They needed the app and a little training.

Do you open AI in a browser tab or in the app? If you're not getting the AI memory results you were hoping for, that might be worth fixing, and I can help.
