URL query param to open chat with initial message

ChatGPT
11

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.
