If you use Gemini regularly, you already have dozens of chats scattered across the sidebar, covering everything from work research to weekend trip planning. Finding an old chat can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
This is why Google is currently testing a new feature in Gemini called Projects, which would let you organize your chats into dedicated folders, much like how ChatGPT already handles this with its own folder system. The feature has started appearing for a small group of users, though it is not fully functional just yet.
How does Gemini’s Projects feature work?
A Reddit user (@medazizln) was among the first to spot the feature. He shared a screenshot confirming the “Add to project” option appearing in the Gemini chat menu.
When you hover over any chat in Gemini’s web interface, a three-dot menu button appears. Clicking it brings up a set of options you might already be familiar with, including Share Conversation, Pin, Rename, and Delete.
The new addition sitting alongside these is “Add to project.” Clicking that option opens a pop-up where you can select from your existing projects and assign the chat to one. However, there is no option to create a new project from within this pop-up, which means the feature is still in development.
TestingCatalog News also shared screenshots confirming the feature is appearing in menus, noting it may be “an unintended appearance” rather than a deliberate rollout.
When will Gemini’s Projects feature roll out to everyone?
Google has not shared any official timeline for when Projects will roll out more broadly. For now, the fact that it is showing up for real users at all is a promising sign that a wider release is not too far off. Once it lands officially, chat Projects will make Gemini much more useful for anyone juggling multiple ongoing tasks and conversations.
