Feedback: conversation sidebar needs folders/tags + better, self-updating titles #26099

I'm a heavy Codex user and run into two conversation-management problems that really hold me back.

1. The conversation list is flat — no folders, tags, or nesting

With many conversations spanning different projects, clients, and topics, a flat time-ordered list is unmanageable. There's no way to group conversations into folders, nest sub-folders, collapse groups, or tag them. A true tree structure (folders within folders) or a tagging system would make archiving usable.

2. The auto-generated titles are low quality and never improve

  • Quality: many conversations are titled with a truncated copy of my first message rather than a real summary of what the conversation accomplished. For non-English conversations the titles often don't match what I'm looking for.
  • They're static: the title is set early and frozen. As the conversation evolves, it never regenerates into a better title, and there's no way to ask Codex to re-summarize the thread on demand. Long, substantive conversations keep a title guessed from the opening message.

What I'd love to see

  • Nested folders and/or tags for conversations — a real tree in the sidebar.
  • Editable titles that stay locked once I set them.
  • Better auto-titles that follow the conversation's language and summarize the outcome, not just the first message.
  • Titles that re-summarize as the conversation grows, plus a one-click "regenerate title/summary."
  • Bulk management (multi-select rename / move / tag).

Thanks for considering it.
