What's the difference between projects and just opening a new conversation?

There's a projects feature in the sidebar, but I don't understand how it's different from just opening a new conversation. When should I create a project?

Hello, this is the administrator. In one sentence: 'a feature that eliminates the need to explain everything again each time.' Regular conversations start from a blank slate each time. On the other hand, when you create a project, you can keep two things fixed. 1. Knowledge files — if you upload reference documents, data, code, etc. to a project, all conversations within that project start knowing about these materials. You no longer need to attach files every time. 2. Instructions — if you write down conditions like 'answer in polite speech' or 'our company situation is like this,' they automatically apply to all conversations. That's why projects are great for these cases. - You repeat conversations on the same topic (running a blog, developing a specific project, writing a paper) - You're giving the same background explanation each time - You want to keep related conversations together in one folder On the other hand, for one-off questions, it's better to just start a new conversation.
