ChatGPT's new shortcut feature lets you instantly switch between image generation, web search, and advanced reasoning tools directly in one chat—avoiding the need to reset chats.
Step-by-step:
- Start a new chat in ChatGPT and type "/" in the input field.
- Choose from three options: Picture (DALL-E), Search (web), or Reason (GPT-o1).
- For images, use "/picture [description]" (e.g., "/picture quantum computer").
- For web searches, use "/search [query]" (e.g., "/search quantum computer").
- For complex reasoning, use "/reason [task]" (e.g., "/reason Explain quantum computing").
When using the /search command, try adding "latest" or a specific year to your prompt.
