Feature Request: Favorite Chats in AI Panel

Feature Requests
1

Description

Currently, Cursor does not provide a way to mark chats as favorites in the AI Panel. When working with recurring conversations, users have to constantly search through the history to return to previously used chats. This creates unnecessary friction in the workflow and reduces productivity, especially for developers who regularly refer to specific AI conversations.

Most LLM interfaces (like ChatGPT, Claude, and others) already include functionality to bookmark or favorite conversations.

Proposed Solution

Implement a “Favorite” or “Bookmark” feature for chats in the AI Panel that would allow users to:

  • Mark specific chats as favorites with a star/bookmark icon
  • Access a dedicated “Favorites” section at the top of the chat list
  • Quickly switch between starred conversations without scrolling through history
  • Optionally, allow for organization of favorites into custom categories/folders

This implementation would be consistent with Cursor’s existing UI design language while providing significant workflow improvements.

Use Cases

  1. Project-Specific References: Developers working across multiple projects often have specific AI chats related to each project’s architecture, code patterns, or requirements. Being able to favorite these conversations would provide quick access when switching contexts.
  2. Code Review Templates: Many developers use AI chats as templates for code reviews. Marking these as favorites would save time recreating the same prompts repeatedly.
  3. Learning Resources: Conversations that explain complex concepts or provide educational value could be saved for future reference without having to search through chat history.
  4. Continuous Projects: For long-running projects, having quick access to previous design discussions or architecture decisions through favorited chats would maintain consistency and reduce the need to re-explain context.

Benefits

  • Significantly reduces the time spent searching through chat history to find relevant conversations
  • Provides structure to the chat interface, helping users manage their workspace more effectively
  • Eliminates the need to remember or search for important conversations, allowing developers to focus on their core tasks
  • Streamlines the development process by making contextual information instantly accessible

As a UI/UX developer, I agree that this is a needed feature. As simple bookmark icon within the chat, perhaps even at a specific point within a chat. Then you can click something to navigate your bookmarked chats.
