Have you noticed that there isn't a single, official master list of all slash (/) commands inside ChatGPT? That is because OpenAI manages these commands dynamically. Depending on your current pricing tier, client platform (Web, iOS, Android, macOS/Windows Desktop app), account-specific features, and active experimental updates, the commands you can use might differ completely from someone else's.
The definitive way to check which actions are currently active for your account is simple: type / in a new chat. A popup overlay will immediately appear detailing your specific command registry.
However, to help you stay ahead, we have compiled the most comprehensive and up-to-date registry of all ChatGPT slash commands discovered in 2026—including experimental features and niche tools.

Key Factors to Keep in Mind
- Feature Availability: Not every command is active on every account. Subscriptions like ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, or Enterprise usually see a broader range of experimental tools compared to free tiers.
- Beta Tests & Experiments: OpenAI frequently changes or disables certain commands depending on user feedback, platform constraints, and scaling strategies.
- Document Integration: Some tools (like
/pdfor/spreadsheet) dynamically show up in the menu list only when a corresponding attachment has been successfully uploaded to the current prompt box.
Pro Tip: How to Discover and Use Commands
- Open a fresh chat container in ChatGPT.
- Type the slash symbol:
/. - A pop-up menu list will render. Press the Up (↑) and Down (↓) arrow keys on your keyboard to browse the active entries, or type letters to instantly filter options.
