What's your favourite colour?

Hi @hushed forge. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
I don’t have personal preferences like a favorite color.
If you’d like ChatGPT to remember your favorite color for future chats, you can tell it and enable “Reference saved memories” in Settings → Personalization; saved memories are details you explicitly ask ChatGPT to remember, such as your name or favorite color.[Memory FAQ; Reference memories]
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

What are some things ChatGPT can do that many people do not know about?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
Here are some lesser-known things ChatGPT can do, based on the provided sources:
-
Use “Deep research” for multi-step, cited reports
ChatGPT can run a special deep research mode that reads and synthesizes content across many online sources to produce structured, cited outputs—useful for strategy docs, literature reviews, and detailed reports.[Capabilities overview; Deep research guide] -
Remember you with “Memory” (beyond a single chat)
It can remember high‑level details you share (like preferences, goals, or dietary needs) and reuse them in future conversations, and you can see, edit, or delete these memories anytime.[What is Memory; Memory FAQ]
You can also control two separate toggles: “Reference saved memories” and “Reference chat history” for how much past context it uses.[Reference memories] -
Have “Temporary Chats” that don’t use history or memory
On the macOS app (and more broadly via Temporary Chat), you can start a chat that doesn’t appear in history and isn’t used to improve models; it also won’t reference or update memory.[Temporary chats macOS; What is Memory]
-
Organize long‑running work with “Projects”
Projects let you group chats, files, and tools around a specific objective, and within a project you can use things like Canvas, image generation, study mode, voice mode, and web search together.[Projects overview; Projects tools] -
Use advanced tools like Code Interpreter & Data Analysis
ChatGPT can run code in a secure environment to analyze data, create charts, and manipulate files—far beyond simple text Q&A.[Capabilities overview; Code interpreter rollout] -
Work in Canvas for structured drafting and editing
Canvas is an interactive workspace where you can co‑write, edit, and debug with inline suggestions, file uploads, and code editing in one place—more like a document editor than a chat box.[Capabilities overview] -
Use ChatGPT directly in a browser (ChatGPT Atlas)
ChatGPT Atlas is a dedicated browser with ChatGPT built in: sidebar assistance on any page, inline writing help in form fields, smarter search tabs, and optional “browser memories” that remember useful browsing context under your control.[Atlas release notes]
-
Let it act in “Agent Mode” (within limits)
In Atlas, Agent Mode can carry out end‑to‑end tasks in the browser—like researching, planning, and filling a shopping cart—while respecting strict boundaries (no file system access, no extensions, limited data access, etc.).[Atlas release notes] -
Build your own custom GPTs with specific models and tools
You can create GPTs with custom instructions, uploaded knowledge files, and capabilities like web search, image generation, Canvas, and Code Interpreter & Data Analysis, and even pick a recommended model (including o‑series reasoning models in many cases).[GPT configuration; Expanded model support] -
Use powerful reasoning models with full tool access
Models like o3 and o4‑mini in ChatGPT can “think longer,” decide when to search the web, analyze files with Python, reason over images, and even generate images, all in one flow for complex, multi‑step problems.[o3 & o4‑mini release]

@random maple I'm wondering if ChatGPT can code a way to where if I type in google sheets something in English, if in another column it can translate automatically into French.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
Yes—ChatGPT (or the OpenAI API) can help you build this, but the knowledge sources only give a general pattern, not a ready-made Google Sheets script.
From the docs, translation is a standard use case: you send text in one language and ask the model to return it in another (e.g., “Translate the following English text to French”).[Chat vs completions] The same idea can be used from Google Sheets via Apps Script:
-
Conceptually
- Column A: English text
- Column B: a custom formula like
=TRANSLATE_WITH_GPT(A2) - The Apps Script function
TRANSLATE_WITH_GPTwould:- Read the English text from the cell.
- Call the OpenAI API with a prompt like “Translate this English text to French: …”.
- Return the French translation back into the sheet.
-
What the sources confirm
- OpenAI models can handle many languages and will usually respond in the language you ask for, so English→French translation is supported.[Multilingual API; Language support]
- The same translation pattern is used in other examples (e.g., translating LaTeX book chunks or simple prompts like “Translate the following English text to French”).[Translate LaTeX; Chat vs completions]
The sources do not include a specific Google Sheets Apps Script example, so I can’t provide exact code from them, but technically: yes, you can wire Sheets → Apps Script → OpenAI API so that typing English in one column automatically fills French in another.
