OpenAI’s premium version of ChatGPT, known as ChatGPT Plus, offers users a range of extra features in exchange for the monthly subscription fee. ChatGPT Plus’s newest feature, GPT call-outs or mentions, may prove very useful to you if you use various GPTs within the ChatGPT interface. So, how does this feature work, and how can it benefit you?

What Is ChatGPT’s GPT Mentions Feature?

As a ChatGPT Plus member, you can enjoy custom GPTs from the Custom GPT Store . These are versions of ChatGPT that are tailored to help with specific tasks. Some popular custom GPTs include…

• KAYAK: uses the KAYAK travel website to provide you with relevant flight, hotel, and transport information.
• Canva: takes text-based prompts and uses Canva to create digital graphics.
• Consensus: uses the Consensus search engine to provide research data from prompts.

You can use any of the custom GPTs available individually, but what if you want to combine two or more custom GPTs in one conversation?

Enter ChatGPT’s new custom GPT Mentions feature. OpenAI began rolling out the GPT Mentions feature in late January 2023 for ChatGPT Plus users.

This feature, which is currently in Beta (i.e. a prototype of the feature is being used temporarily), allows you to mention one or more custom GPTs in a single conversation using the “@” symbol (as you would to mention people on Instagram or X). With GPT Mentions, you can only add custom GPTs you’ve already used to the conversation (i.e. custom GPTs you’ve had conversations with).

So, how can you use this?

How to Use the GPT Mentions Feature

If you’re using a few custom GPTs in separate conversations, you’ll now see the pop-up below displayed above your chat text box.

It’s super easy to use GPT Mentions, so let’s delve into an example of when it would be helpful.

Let’s say you wanted to gather some key data and then create an infographic to introduce what you’ve found. To find the data, you start a chat with the Consensus GPT. Once Consensus gives you the relevant information, you mention Canva in your chat, and click on the Canva GPT option.

Now, you’re chatting with Canva until you click “X” on the Talking to Canva tab that will appear above the chat text box.

You can talk to the Canva GPT while mentioning the above conversation you’ve already had with Consensus. Simply ask Canva to create a graphic introducing the research Consensus provided, and the GPT will get to work providing you with something useful.

Of course, if you’re not happy with Canva’s initial response, you can make more specific requests to highlight what you’re looking for. Maybe you want a specific font, or want a certain phrase used in the text of the graphic. Just ask, and the custom GPT should be able to comply.

Note that, before a custom GPT connects with any other platform to retrieve data, it’ll ask your permission to do so first. Just click Allow if you’re happy to go ahead.

You can also use this feature to find new places to explore. For instance, you can combine the KAYAK and AllTrails GPTs if you want to go on a hiking or cycling holiday.

To demonstrate this, we asked KAYAK GPT to find us the best spots to stay in Germany, as well as upcoming flights.
