Summary

ChatGPT has introduced a new feature called "GPT Mentions" that allows users to interact with multiple GPT applications within a single chat interface, leveraging their individual strengths to create a more dynamic and versatile chat experience.

Abstract

The new "GPT Mentions" feature in ChatGPT enables users to engage with various GPT applications in one conversation by tagging them with an "@" symbol, which facilitates a collaborative and agent-like interaction between different AI models. This innovative feature is not yet widely available but has been demonstrated to enhance the chat experience by combining the unique capabilities of different GPTs, such as reading PDFs, writing poetry, and generating images. The feature's potential was highlighted by early user Karthik Ramasamy, who used it to read a PDF and generate Python code related to its content. Although there has been no official announcement from OpenAI, the feature was leaked on GitHub, and some users have experimented with enabling it manually. The author of the article expresses enthusiasm for the feature's possibilities while acknowledging current bugs and limitations, and looks forward to future improvements that could streamline the interaction with multiple GPTs.

Early user Karthik Ramasamy's experience demonstrates the practical utility of GPT Mentions in combining different GPTs to solve complex tasks.
The lack of an official announcement from OpenAI about GPT Mentions is noted, with the initial leak of the feature being tracked in a GitHub repository.
There is interest in the community for more information on GPT Mentions, with the author offering to write a tutorial on how to enable the feature.
The author expresses a desire for future enhancements that would allow asking one question to multiple GPTs simultaneously, to streamline the user experience.

ChatGPT’s New “GPT Mention” Feature Is Here And It’s Amazing

A brand new and incredibly exciting feature called “GPT Mentions” has just been released in ChatGPT today. GPT Mentions allows users to chat with multiple GPT applications in a single chat window, combining their outputs and chaining their responses together directly in ChatGPT.

This is an extremely interesting addition because it opens up the possibility to leverage different GPT applications’ strengths in creative new ways. Unfortunately, only a limited number of users currently have access to try out the feature. It’s unclear when GPT Mentions will roll out more widely to all ChatGPT users.

In this article, I’ll explain what GPT Mention is all about.

How to use GPT Mention?

GPT mention allows you to inline tag any other custom GPT by using the “@” tag followed by the name of the GPT application. This feature allows switching between different GPTs within the same conversation, taking an agent-like approach to chat.

Check out this new feature in action:

For example, you could start discussing a topic with ChatGPT, then bring in a separate GPT optimized for writing poetry to add a poetic flourish, and then inline tag another GPT app designed for generating images to bring the poem to life. The possibilities are endlessly exciting!

When is it useful?

Here’s an brilliant example of the power of this feature shared by early user Karthik Ramasamy on X:

Using the two GPT apps “Ai PDF” and “Grimoire”, Karthik was able to read and discuss a PDF file using “Ai PDF”, then write sample Python code for it using “Grimoire.”

First, he uploaded the PDF and asked Ai PDF if it contained any Python code for a specific task. Unfortunately there were no Python examples.

He then seamlessly switched to “@Grimoire” within the same ChatGPT conversation, asking it to generate custom sample Python code implementing the desired functionality.

The GPT app wrote the code for him. This is an amazing demonstration of how GPT Mentions enables combining GPTs in ways never before possible to solve problems creatively.

GPT mentions leak

There is currently no official announcement from OpenAI regarding the GPT Mention. It was initially leaked in a GitHub repository chatgpt-source-watch by user Glenn Grant (0xdevalias).

ChatGPT Source Watch is a meticulously curated repository that serves as a treasure trove for those interested in observing the evolution of ChatGPT’s webpack chunks. It gracefully preserves the historical webpack chunks in their original splendor, while also offering a breath of fresh air with unpacked and beautifully formatted versions of the chunk files. This thoughtful touch empowers you to effortlessly analyze the nuances between different builds.

To put it simply, ChatGPT Source Watch is a concise summary of the changes and updates in ChatGPT’s codebase over time.

Some users have found tricks to forcibly enable GPT Mentions by modifying HTTP responses, but this is complex for many. I’d be happy to write a tutorial explaining step-by-step how to try this if there is interest! Please let me know in the comments.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, I like the idea of having the ability to bring up multiple GPT apps in a single chat instance. However, since the feature is still new and not even rolled out to all users, there are bugs and limitations that need to be worked out.

I hope this feature improves in the future to let us ask one question to multiple GPTs at the same time, instead of mentioning each one separately. That would make things much easier! I’m sure a change like that is coming soon.
