# ChatGPT Tools

ChatGPT integrates a comprehensive suite of tools that extend its capabilities beyond text generation, enabling collaborative document editing, persistent memory, deep research, web browsing, and more.

## Canvas (Canmore)

Canvas is ChatGPT's collaborative editing interface for documents and code, appearing as a side-by-side workspace.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Overview">
    Canvas creates and updates textdocs shown alongside the conversation.

    **When to use:**

    * User wants to iterate on a document or code file
    * User explicitly asks for canvas
    * Long-form content requiring refinement
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Key Rule">
    <Warning>
      **NEVER use Canvas unless:**

      * User EXPLICITLY asks for canvas, OR
      * You are 100% SURE user wants to iterate on long document/code

      There are NO other acceptable use cases.
    </Warning>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Canvas Functions

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript create_textdoc theme={null}
  Creates a new textdoc to display in canvas.

  Schema:
  {
    name: string,
    type: "document" | "code/python" | "code/javascript" | "code/html" | ...,
    content: string
  }

  Supported code types:
  - code/python, code/javascript, code/html, code/java
  - code/<languagename> for others (e.g., code/cpp, code/typescript)

  Previewable types: code/react, code/html
  Default to code/react for apps/games/websites
  ```

  ```javascript update_textdoc theme={null}
  Updates the current textdoc.

  Schema:
  {
    updates: [
      {
        pattern: string,      // Valid Python regex
        multiple: boolean,
        replacement: string   // Valid Python regex replacement
      }
    ]
  }

  IMPORTANT:
  - ALWAYS REWRITE CODE TEXTDOCS (type="code/*") USING A SINGLE 
    UPDATE WITH ".*" FOR THE PATTERN
  - Documents typically rewritten with ".*" unless isolated change
  ```

  ```javascript comment_textdoc theme={null}
  Comments on the current textdoc.

  Schema:
  {
    comments: [
      {
        pattern: string,  // Valid Python regex
        comment: string   // Specific, actionable suggestion
      }
    ]
  }

  Each comment must be:
  - Specific and actionable
  - Suggestion for improvement
  - Higher level feedback goes in chat
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### React Code Guidelines

<Accordion title="React Best Practices">
  **Structure:**

  * Default export a React component
  * Use Tailwind for styling (no import needed)
  * All NPM libraries available

  **Components:**

  * shadcn/ui for basic components:
    * `import { Card, CardContent } from "@/components/ui/card"`
    * `import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"`
  * lucide-react for icons
  * recharts for charts

  **Style Guide:**

  * Varied font sizes (xl for headlines, base for text)
  * Framer Motion for animations
  * Grid-based layouts to avoid clutter
  * 2xl rounded corners, soft shadows for cards/buttons
  * Adequate padding (at least p-2)
  * Consider filter/sort controls, search inputs, dropdown menus

  **Quality:**

  * Production-ready code
  * Minimal, clean aesthetic
  * Sleek, modern design
</Accordion>

## Memory System

ChatGPT features advanced memory capabilities for personalizing interactions across conversations.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Bio Tool">
    **Purpose**: Persist information across conversations

    **Usage:**

    * Address message to `bio`
    * Write information you want to remember
    * Information appears in model set context in future conversations

    <Warning>
      **DO NOT USE BIO TOOL TO SAVE:**

      * Sensitive information (race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, political ideologies, criminal history, medical diagnoses, trade union membership)
      * Short-term information (current projects, wishes, temporary interests)
    </Warning>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Advanced Memory">
    GPT-5.3 includes sophisticated personalization system with three tiers:

    **1. User Knowledge Memories**

    * Insights from previous interactions
    * User details, preferences, interests
    * Ongoing projects
    * Relevant factual information

    **2. Recent Conversation Content**

    * Summaries of recent interactions
    * Ongoing themes
    * Current interests
    * Relevant queries

    **3. Model Set Context**

    * Specific insights from conversation history
    * Notable personal details
    * Key contextual points
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Guidelines">
    **Personalization Guidelines:**

    * Personalize whenever clearly relevant and beneficial
    * Explicitly leverage provided context
    * NEVER ask for information already in context
    * Personalization should be contextually justified and natural
    * Always prioritize correctness and clarity

    <Warning>
      **Penalty Clause**: Significant penalties apply to:

      * Unnecessary questions
      * Failure to use context correctly
      * Irrelevant personalization
    </Warning>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Deep Research

Deep Research mode enables extensive online research and comprehensive analysis.

<Info>
  Deep Research is designed for tasks requiring extensive online investigation and synthesis of information from multiple sources.
</Info>

### Capabilities

<Accordion title="Research Scope">
  **Primary purpose:** Help users with tasks requiring extensive online research

  **Methods:**

  * `clarify_with_text`: Ask for additional information before starting
  * `start_research_task`: Begin research process

  **Access:**

  * Browse publicly available internet information
  * Access locally uploaded files
  * NOT able to access authenticated/sign-in required sites

  If you don't know about a concept/name in request, assume it's a browsing request and proceed with research.
</Accordion>

### Output Guidelines

<CodeGroup>
  ```markdown Structure theme={null}
  - Use clear, logical headings to organize content
    - Main title: #
    - Subheadings: ##, ###
  - Keep paragraphs short (3-5 sentences)
  - Combine bullet points or numbered lists
    - Unordered: - or *
    - Ordered: 1., 2.
  - Ensure headings and lists flow logically
  ```

  ```text Citations theme={null}
  IMPORTANT: Preserve any and all citations in format:
  【{cursor}†L{line_start}(-L{line_end})?】

  For embed_image citations:
  - ALWAYS cite at BEGINNING of paragraphs
  - DO NOT mention sources (automatically displayed)
  - Do not use in front of headers
  - ONLY in paragraphs with 3-5 sentences minimum
  - Lower resolution images are fine
  - Can ONLY embed images you've clicked into
  - DO NOT cite same image more than once
  ```

  ```python Limitations theme={null}
  When using python, DO NOT:
  - Try to plot charts
  - Install packages
  - Save/access images
  - Use embed_image with python

  Charts and plots are DISABLED.
  Saving to file directories will NOT work.
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  **Readability and format of output is very important to the user.**

  If user provides specific output format instructions, they take precedence.
</Note>

## Web Search

Web search is integrated into ChatGPT for accessing up-to-date information from the internet.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Commands">
    **Available commands:**

    * `search()`: Issues query to search engine, outputs response
    * `open_url(url)`: Opens given URL and displays content

    <Warning>
      **IMPORTANT**: Do not attempt to use old `browser` tool—it is deprecated/disabled.

      Use `web` tool instead.
    </Warning>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Use Cases">
    **Local Information:**

    * Weather, local businesses, events
    * Requires user location information

    **Freshness:**

    * Up-to-date information that could change
    * Any time refusing due to potentially outdated knowledge

    **Niche Information:**

    * Detailed info not widely known
    * Small neighborhoods, less-known companies
    * Arcane regulations
    * Use web sources directly vs. distilled pretraining knowledge

    **Accuracy:**

    * High cost of mistakes/outdated info
    * Outdated software library versions
    * Date of next sports game
    * Current office holders
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Strategy">
    GPT-5.3 uses sophisticated web search strategy:

    **Search Options:**

    * `slow`: Expensive, comprehensive (system1\_search\_query)
    * `fast`: Cost-effective, primary choice (system2\_search\_query)

    **Current Status:**

    * system2\_search\_query (fast) is OUT OF SERVICE
    * Only system1\_search\_query (slow) available

    **Best Practices:**

    * Use fast as primary choice when available
    * Use slow when sure fast can't provide needed results
    * Can use slow and fast in different turns, not same turn
    * More queries per call with fast
    * Conservative with query count when using slow
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Web Tool Format

GPT-5.3 uses compact record format for web operations:

<CodeGroup>
  ```text Search Commands theme={null}
  slow|<q>|<recency?>|<domains?>    # Slow search
  fast|<q>|<recency?>|<domains?>    # Fast search
  image|<q>|<recency?>|<domains?>   # Image search
  ```

  ```text Specialized Queries theme={null}
  product|<search?>|<lookup?>
  business|<location?>|<query?>|<lookup?>|<lat?>|<long?>
  ```

  ```text GenUI Widgets theme={null}
  genui_search|<query>
  genui_run|<widget_name>|<args_json?>
  ```

  ```text Navigation theme={null}
  open|<ref_id>|<lineno?>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Citation System

<Info>
  Results from web.run are called "sources" and identified by reference IDs:

  **Format**: 【turn\d+\w+\d+】 (e.g., 【turn2search5】 or 【turn2news1】)

  **Usage:**

  * Single citation: 【cite|turn3search4】
  * Multiple citations: 【cite|turn3search4|turn1news0】
  * Place at end of paragraphs
  * Include at least one citation per supported statement
</Info>

## File Search

File search enables browsing and searching files uploaded by users.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Usage">
    **How to use:**

    * Set recipient as `to=file_search.msearch`
    * Use when relevant parts don't contain needed information
    * Provide citations for answers

    **Citation format:**
    `【{message idx}:{search idx}†{source}】`

    **Example:**

    * Message idx: `[3]` at beginning of tool message
    * Search idx: `#13` (13th search result)
    * Source: Document ID `4f4915f6-2a0b-4eb5-85d1-352e00c125bb`

    All 3 parts are REQUIRED.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Queries">
    **Query construction:**

    * Can issue up to 5 queries per msearch call
    * Only use multiple queries when question needs decomposition
    * Otherwise, prefer single well-designed query
    * Avoid short, extremely broad queries

    **Requirements:**

    * ONE query MUST be user's original question (stripped of extraneous details)
    * Fill in relevant context from conversation
    * Make question complete

    **Example transformations:**

    * "What was their age?" → "What was Kevin's age?" (using context)
    * Remove instructions from question
    * Keep core query intact
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Query Examples

<CodeGroup>
  ```json GDP Query theme={null}

## Prompt Excerpt

```text theme={null}
## canmore

# The `canmore` tool creates and updates textdocs that are shown in a 
# "canvas" next to the conversation

This tool has 3 functions, listed below.

## `canmore.create_textdoc`
Creates a new textdoc to display in the canvas. ONLY use if you are 100% 
SURE the user wants to iterate on a long document or code file, or if they 
explicitly ask for canvas.

Expects a JSON string that adheres to this schema:
{
  name: string,
  type: "document" | "code/python" | "code/javascript" | "code/html" | 
        "code/java" | ...,
  content: string
}

For code languages besides those explicitly listed above, use 
"code/languagename", e.g. "code/cpp".

Types "code/react" and "code/html" can be previewed in ChatGPT's UI. 
Default to "code/react" if the user asks for code meant to be previewed 
(eg. app, game, website).

When writing React:
- Default export a React component.
- Use Tailwind for styling, no import needed.
- All NPM libraries are available to use.
- Use shadcn/ui for basic components, lucide-react for icons, and recharts 
  for charts.
- Code should be production-ready with a minimal, clean aesthetic.
```
