Overview

We are excited to introduce a new feature in ChadGPT that enhances user interaction with your chat thread content by providing related images. With a simple toggle switch, users can now fetch and display two related images from Unsplash directly within their chat thread. These images come with proper attribution and are available for download at high-resolution.

Feature Details

1. How It Works

• A new on-screen control (toggle switch) has been added to the chat interface.
• When enabled, ChadGPT automatically fetches two images relevant to the thread context.
• Images are retrieved in real-time from the Unsplash API.
• Each image includes the standard Unsplash credit HTML for proper attribution.
• Users can click to download images directly.

2. Key Benefits

• Enhanced Visual Engagement – Users receive relevant imagery that complements their conversation.
• Effortless Integration – Images are fetched with a single toggle, requiring no additional input.
• Credited & High-Quality – All images are sourced from Unsplash with proper attribution.
• Downloadable Content – Users can save images instantly for further use.

3. User Experience

• The toggle switch is located at the bottom-right corner of the chat interface.
• Once activated, images appear within the chat thread in a structured side-by-side format.
• Users can click on the images for a larger view or download them.
• The feature seamlessly integrates with ongoing conversations, ensuring relevance and usability.

Implementation Notes

• API Usage – The feature leverages the Unsplash API for fetching related images.
• Performance Considerations – Fetching images is optimized to ensure minimal impact on response times.
• Compliance – All image attributions follow Unsplash’s licensing requirements.
• User Privacy – No additional data is shared beyond necessary API requests.

Known Issues & Limitations

• Images may not always perfectly match the context, as relevance depends on the API’s keyword matching.
• Some queries may return generic images if highly specific keywords are not available in the Unsplash database.
• Users should verify downloaded images for appropriate use cases, as ChadGPT does not moderate image content beyond Unsplash’s standard policies.

Future Improvements

• Enhancing contextual accuracy with more refined keyword extraction from chat.
• Expanding image sources for broader variety and higher relevance.
• Providing customization options to filter image styles or categories.
• Allowing users to fetch multiple sets of related images per query.

How to Enable & Use

1. Start a conversation in ChadGPT.
2. Locate the toggle switch in the bottom-right corner of the chat interface.
3. Switch it on to activate image fetching.
4. Two related images will appear in the chat thread.
5. Click on an image for a larger view or download it directly.

Unsplash License & Photographer Attribution

​Unsplash allows users to freely download, copy, modify, distribute, and use photos for both commercial and non-commercial purposes without needing permission or providing attribution to the photographer or Unsplash. However, the Unsplash license has specific restrictions:​

• Prohibited Uses:
  • Selling unaltered copies: You cannot sell photos without significant modification.​
  • Compiling images: You cannot compile images from Unsplash to replicate a similar or competing service.​
• Additional Considerations:
  • Depicted Brands or Identifiable Persons: If an image includes identifiable people, trademarks, logos, or brands, you may need additional permissions from the rights holders, especially for commercial use. ​
  • While attribution is not strictly required, it is appreciated as it provides exposure to photographers and encourages them to continue sharing their work. ​

For more detailed information, you can refer to Unsplash’s License and Terms & Conditions.

Conclusion

This feature aims to make AI interactions more engaging by visually complementing text-based conversations. Whether you’re brainstorming, researching, or simply exploring topics, Fetch Related Images enhances your experience with high-quality, relevant visuals.

We look forward to your feedback and will continue refining the feature for an even better experience!
