URL query param to open chat with initial message

ChatGPT
1

Hello

I would like to redirect my users with their query directly to chat gpt like:
https://chat.openai.com/chat?q=some+initial+question

I have new tab chrome extension and would like to provide ChatGPT like google on start page.

That would be an excellent idea to be implemented on ChatGPT App

3

Will incorporate this feature in our software within a day when this is released!

4

For other searching for this knowledge, it has been implemented as requested.
Certainly appears to work for me.

5

It works with custom GPTs too!

Is this new functionality?

6

I used it for a little website of mine. It worked a week ago, but now it doesn’t. Anybody got updates on that?

7

I am using this feature to begin new conversations with ChatGPT, but is there also a way to continue a running conversation? I have tried [base url] /c/ds92abfd-cb72-981a-bd0e-6dd134560ffe?q=Hello, but that didn’t work.

8

It would be great if we can have this feature working again!

9

I just tried it and it seems to work for me!

How did you get this working for your custom GPT? I’m trying /g/g-my-custom-gpt-slug?q=some+query and it’s not working …

To be clear, maybe you both can also write how it is not working for you.

For me, if I visit a URL with the q parameter (example URL below), the buggy behavior is as follows:

Example URL:

https://chatgpt.com/?q=Summarize%20https%3A%2F%2Ffrontendmastery.com%2Fposts%2Frethinking-react-best-practices%2F%20in%205%20bullet%20points
  1. Visit the URL above
  2. Initial message appears correctly
  3. Response from ChatGPT starts appearing
  4. After 2 or 3 seconds, it redirects back to the empty “new chat” view

Sometimes this is reversed (not ideal but much better, because the final page is :

  1. Visit the URL above
  2. The empty “new chat” view appears
  3. After 2 or 3 seconds, it redirects to a new chat
  4. Initial message appears correctly
  5. Response from ChatGPT appears correctly

This looks like an unintentional bug, not some new preventative measures introduced by OpenAI.

?q=Prompt goes here

changes the string to

?prompt=prompt goes here

And works

I’m attempting to use this functionality inside a iOS shortcut. I would like the shortcut to accept voice dictation, convert to text, and pass the text to the ChatGPT app as a prompt INSIDE a saved chat. It is mostly working in that it does launch ChatGPT and opens the saved chat. It even populates the prompt input field with my dictated text. But it doesn’t actually execute the prompt. I have to manually tap the send button in the prompt input window. Any ideas how to automate executing the prompt so that ChatGPT will respond without me needing to tap the send prompt button?

Shortcut steps:

  1. Dictate text
  2. Set url: com.openai.chat://chatgpt.com/c/xxxx-xxx-xxxx/?prompt={Dictated Text}
  3. Open url
