Hi Glean team,
We have been using Glean Chat heavily at Amanotes and it has become a key part of our daily workflow. While it works very well overall, we have run into some usability limitations when managing a large number of chats.
I would like to propose two related feature requests, with rename as the higher priority:
1. Allow users to rename chat titles (higher priority)
Right now, Glean automatically generates a title from the first prompt, and that title cannot be edited. In the chat list’s context menu, we currently only see “Share chat” and “Delete chat” as actions.
In practice, this makes it difficult to:
- Keep track of important conversations over time
- Quickly find the right chat when there are many threads on similar topics
- Use the chat list as a “knowledge inbox” for ongoing projects
Proposed improvement:
- Add a “Rename” action to each chat (beside Share / Delete), or allow double‑clicking on the title to edit it.
- Persist the custom title and use it for search/filtering in the Chat view.
Benefit:
This would let users label chats by use case or project (e.g., “PO article analysis”, “ThinkingData for new game launch”), making it much easier to search, revisit, and organize past conversations.
2. Group chats by topic / folder / project (lower priority)
The current Chat view is essentially a flat, time‑based list (Today / Recent). For power users working across many initiatives, it becomes hard to organize related threads.
Challenges today:
- Multiple chats related to the same project, topic, or document set are scattered across the list
- There is no simple way to visually group workstreams (e.g., per product, investigation, or team)
Proposed improvement:
- Support grouping/organizing chats, for example:
- Allow users to create folders/projects and assign chats to them; or
- Allow tagging chats by topic and filter by those tags.
- In the UI, a sidebar or “Projects/Folders” section could list groups, with the chats displayed inside each group.
Benefit:
This would make it much easier to manage a large volume of conversations, especially for users who rely on Glean Chat to collaborate across multiple projects in parallel. It would also improve discoverability and re‑use of previous chats as a knowledge base.
Thank you for considering these enhancements. We believe renameable chat titles plus basic grouping would significantly improve the day‑to‑day UX for teams who use Glean Chat extensively.
