"Enable Direct URL Query Support for Custom GPTs"

ChatGPT Feature requests
1

I would like to request a feature that allows users to send a prompt directly to a specific Custom GPT via a URL parameter.

:rocket: The Goal:

Currently, when accessing a Custom GPT (such as “DaVinci Resolve Helper”), users must manually type their query into the input field. I want to streamline this process by using a direct search URL, allowing users to open a Custom GPT and immediately have a query pre-filled and sent.

:small_blue_diamond: Proposed Feature:

Enable support for URL-based queries to specific Custom GPTs. Example format:

bash

KopieraRedigera

https://chat.openai.com/g/{custom-gpt-id}?q=How+do+I+make+a+subclip

This would: :white_check_mark: Open the specified Custom GPT
:white_check_mark: Automatically insert the query into the chat
:white_check_mark: Optionally send the query immediately

:small_blue_diamond: Why This is Needed:

  • Faster and more efficient workflows for users who frequently ask questions in Custom GPTs.
  • Enables browser shortcuts and search engine integrations (e.g., using Chrome’s custom search engines).
  • Improves third-party app integration, where users could link directly to a GPT with a pre-filled question.
  • Useful for power users, professionals, and developers who want seamless automation.

:small_blue_diamond: Example Use Case:

I created a Custom GPT for DaVinci Resolve users. I want to be able to:

  1. Type d How do I create a subclip? in Chrome’s address bar.
  2. Have it instantly open my Custom GPT and start the chat with the question.

Right now, this is not possible. Attempts to pass parameters via ?q= do not work.

:small_blue_diamond: Suggested Implementation:

  1. Enable ?q= URL parameters to pre-fill the input field.
  2. Optional: Allow &send=true to automatically submit the query upon page load.

This would greatly improve usability and enable many new ways to integrate Custom GPTs into workflows.

:small_blue_diamond: Thank You!

I appreciate all the great work OpenAI is doing, and I believe this feature would enhance the user experience for many users. Please consider adding this functionality! :blush::rocket:
