7 ChatGPT prompts that hunt down old photos of you across the public web

aitrendzxyz shares a prompt set for using ChatGPT's Agent Mode to track down your scattered online presence:
- Full sweep: have the model search the public internet for photos tied to your full name, current and old usernames, city, school, workplace and public profiles across image results, social pages, articles, directories, event galleries, blogs and archives — listing exact sources and separating strong matches from uncertain ones.
- Old usernames are the blind spot: people forget them, yet the accounts stay live. Prompts ask the model to cross-search usernames for avatars, tagged photos, forum and gaming profile images, flagging where the same identity reappears.
- Prerequisite: turn on Agent Mode first, or the model invents results instead of searching. Open a new chat → tap "+” beside the message box → enable Agent Mode.
