If you came from the video, these are the four VISUAL codes. Upload the book once, then type each code in the same chat and ChatGPT draws it.

Pictures stick better than pages of text. One image of a book's big ideas is something you can look at again in ten seconds, long after you've forgotten the chapters.

Before you start

  • Upload any book you want to read: a PDF or ebook file you own, using the plus (+) button next to the message box.
  • Upload once. Every code below works on the same book in the same chat.
  • If a small menu pops up when you type the slash, ignore it, keep typing the whole code and press send.

Code 1: sketchnotes

PROMPT
/sketchnotes

You get handwritten summary notes of the whole book.

Code 2: educational comics

PROMPT
/educationalcomics

It turns the main idea into a comic book page, which is perfect if you like to learn with pictures.
