Custom GPT Retirement Breaks a Writer's 'Knows the Project, Not Me' Workflow
ItsAGarbageAccount · reddit · 2026-09-16
A neurodivergent writer details how OpenAI retiring Custom GPTs breaks a workflow used in 60% of their revision process: fresh Custom GPT chats that know the project but not the author, enabling bias-controlled reader testing. They tested Projects with project-only memory — the model instantly knew their name, authorship, and family info — and Temporary Chat forgets both user and project, so neither is equivalent. They warn Custom GPT functionality may end up rationed behind Work/Codex metered surfaces, and frame this as an accessibility issue for users who rely on compartmentalized, fixed-context environments.
