Exploring ChatGPT Plus: Plugins, Promise, and Potential
TL;DR If you’re keen on squeezing even more value from ChatGPT Plus, consider this your go-to guide. Plugins are here!
The advent of OpenAI’s ChatGPT has sparked a transformative wave throughout the AI landscape. Powered by the advanced GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 large language models, this AI chatbot has evoked a range of emotions, from exhilarating excitement to lingering anxieties, across industries and regions.
ChatGPT Options: Free Access vs. $20/month for Plus
OpenAI continues to offer free access to ChatGPT-3.5, providing powerful AI capabilities even without the use of plugins.
However, for those seeking an enhanced experience, there’s ChatGPT Plus. Priced at $20/month, ChatGPT Plus not only grants access to a suite of over 150 plugins at last count, but it also offers a number of additional benefits.
Subscribers can enjoy general access to ChatGPT even during peak times, faster response times, and priority access to new features and improvements. Upgrading from a free account to ChatGPT Plus is straightforward, and this one-minute tutorial can guide you through accessing plugins for the first time.

A Missed Opportunity, a Transformative Journey
I’m eager to share my early learnings with ChatGPT Plus plugins. (Plugins, for the record, are software enhancements that extend the existing program’s capabilities.)
Before diving into the plugins, let me share a quick personal reflection.
As a sixth-grader in South Central Los Angeles, financial constraints deprived me of a much-desired, after-school computer class.
However, a change of school the following year introduced me to a no-cost computer programming class, igniting a lifelong passion for technology. This journey — from my BASIC programming days to exploring the extraordinary capabilities of ChatGPT — exemplifies how accessible and transformative technology has become.
Now, let’s dive into how these plugins can continue to revolutionize our interaction with technology, and more specifically, how they can transform our talent acquisition workflows.
Note: The use cases below do not involve entering any personal candidate data into the system. A friendly reminder to check your IT/employee handbook for best practices on using ChatGPT before exploring.

Use Cases for ChatGPT in TA
Let’s start with a few simple ideas on integrating ChatGPT into your existing workflows. I will explore this topic in more detail in an upcoming article.
- Data & Analysis: Conducting market research
- Job Offers: Role-playing negotiation scenarios
- Communication: Drafting engaging social media posts

“GPT-4 and other systems like it are good at doing tasks, not jobs.” - Sam Altman, CEO of Open AI
Starter Kit: 15 Plugins for TA Pros
Starting with these use cases in mind, I’ve tested plugins made by individual creators and established companies like Wolfram Alpha, Redfin, and EdX.
From the larger pool of over 150, I’ve selected 15 plugins that you can start with to boost your day-to-day productivity and efficiency.
To activate plugins, visit your settings > Beta > plugins (as pictured in the referenced help article).
Note: Plugins can be used individually, in pairs, or in groups of three to enhance your chats for optimal outcomes. Once you’ve selected your plugins, they cannot be edited. You’ll have to start a new chat to select others.
