This feature, once accessible to all paying subscribers of ChatGPT Plus, enables direct document uploads to the chat interface.

Step 1: Enabling code interpreter

[{"selector":"#anim-b2913fb4-5fb5-4999-8217-2937b25739db","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8ae3b652-ea58-4ac4-adc7-ef5b41f3575b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5b2e556a-5b11-46db-bf20-6a1418e1bd19","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Start by opening ChatGPT and navigating to ‘Settings’ at the bottom-left corner of the interface.

To access the exciting 'Beta features,' simply navigate to your settings and activate the toggle for the 'Code Interpreter.' This addition promises to enhance your experience and capabilities, unlocking a new world of possibilities within ChatGPT.

[{"selector":"#anim-46a73a59-a72d-4418-b381-9ec0ffae8209","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-17b5c452-ab1f-4647-bea3-8eba426cc71b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Step 2: Choosing the Code Interpreter model Now, switch to the ‘GPT-4’ model, and from the drop-down menu, select ‘Code Interpreter.’

[{"selector":"#anim-5c74cecf-4187-49c9-b46e-e306e5731087","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ecc0be35-a085-4dc1-8aea-3d24781eb0d9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Step 3: Uploading your documents

[{"selector":"#anim-3ff51f7b-3cc1-46e8-a98c-75dc9db85f85","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-446e2fc6-d1c4-4960-bf8c-dcee746532ae","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bc60065d-f012-4970-98bc-ad5ccc4272d2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] With Code Interpreter enabled, you'll notice a convenient ‘+’ button within the text field. Click on this button to initiate the document upload process.

[{"selector":"#anim-49c347de-b4d6-42f3-9fb4-1801c6fc7010","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e9aa1a7a-e3af-42b5-8f20-69070792ee34","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] You can seamlessly upload a wide array of document types. For instance, you can upload a PDF file to ChatGPT, where it can be processed for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to make it fully searchable within the chat interface.
