OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, works silently in the background and impresses users with new features. A few weeks ago, ChatGPT got new features like a Web browsing mode, Plugin Support, etc. While the features introduced a few weeks ago were only available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, now the AI chatbot got a new feature that even a free user can use. Recently, ChatGPT got Shared Links support that creates a unique link address for the conversations. In this article, we will discuss this feature in detail and how to use it.
What are ChatGPT Shared Links?
ChatGPT is a great AI tool for having conversations. Sometimes, the AI chatbot can generate texts you may want to save and use later. But, the only way to share ChatGPT conversation is to capture a screenshot or use the ShareGPT Chrome extension. Due to this limitation, users have started to switch to ChatGPT alternatives that offer an option to save and export the conversation. After looking into the user demand, recently, OpenAI rolled out Shared Links to ChatGPT users. The feature generates a link for your ChatGPT conversation, and you can share it just like any other URL
How does the feature work?
ChatGPT Shared Links is available to both free and plus users. Hence, purchasing the ChatGPT Plus account is not required to generate a shareable link. After getting ChatGPT Shared links for your conversation, you just need to share them with others. Then, the person with the link can see your conversation with the AI chatbot.
You can share the link with your name or anonymously.
Yes! You read that right. After generating a Shared Links for your ChatGPT conversation, you will see a prompt showing you the conversation and an option to share with your name or anonymously. So, if you just want to share the conversation but don’t want to reveal your name, you can share it anonymously. Sharing the link anonymously would remove your name and profile picture.
Anyone with the link can continue your conversation.
Anyone with your shared links can read the conversation and continue the chat as if it were their own. This is an exciting feature as it allows users to resume the conversation from the point the shared link has been generated. The ShareGPT Chrome extension that did the same thing only allowed you to see how many people have bookmarked or viewed your ChatGPT conversation.
