code-interpreterEnables the code interpreter for the session./?code-interpreter=true
image-generationEnables image generation for the session./?image-generation=true

Key Parameter Details​

1. Model Selection​

Use model or models to pre-select which AI models should be used for the chat. This is useful for sharing specific workflows or comparing model outputs.

2. Initial Query​

The q parameter allows you to start a chat with a predefined prompt. The AI will automatically respond to this query as soon as the page loads.

3. Media & Web Context​

  • YouTube: Use youtube=VIDEO_ID to automatically transcribe and analyze a video.
  • Web Content: Use load-url=URL to ingest the content of a specific webpage into the chat context.
  • Web Search: Set web-search=true to allow the model to browse the web for real-time information.

4. Temporary Sessions​

Setting temporary-chat=true initiates a disposable session. Conversations in this mode are not saved to your history, providing a higher level of privacy for one-time interactions.

5. Advanced Tools​

Parameters like code-interpreter and image-generation can be used to ensure specific capabilities are active and ready for your next prompt.


Combining Parameters​

You can combine multiple parameters to create highly tailored chat environments. For example:

/?model=gpt-4o&q=Summarize this video&youtube=VIDEO_ID&temporary-chat=true

This URL will initialize a temporary chat with GPT-4o, transcribe the specified video, and immediately ask the AI to summarize it.
