How to add an image in the AI prompt?

Answers

  • Images and videos are not supported right now. What's your use-case?

  • It can be a screenshot of a webpage and telling AI to do something about it. Or a screenshot of an error. Like we can paste an image in the chat bot doe chatgpt or Perplexity.

  • I would love this too or a mechanism that will allow referencing files. It could function how AI/LLM CLIs and apps work or accept full paths, C:\Users\\Documents\Snagit\SNAG-xxx.png

  • If you're using Copilot, you can reference files right now via their full path. This is really useful for attaching other source code files, log files, JSON, XML, etc., and is what allows the following kind of instruction:

    Write a parser for c:\temp\log.txt and summarize its content

    However, I would be surprised if GitHub Copilot has unlocked image processing capability on their models via the SDK, given how much money they're bleeding right now. A quick test indicates that it will read the .png, but not analyze it other than for exif data.

  • On a slight tangent, are you people open to using Claude Code? It's arguably the gold standard in coding agents and offers high-value plans (something that's no longer the case with GitHub Copilot as of June 1).

    I'm currently in the early stages of prototyping CC integration in LINQPad. It handles images just fine - Alt+V to paste them in. You'd get the same command-line experience but hosted inside LINQPad, and with Claude able to interact with the current script.
