All One Can Expect with ChatGPT Plugins
A Brief Introduction and Use Cases of ChatGPT Plugins
We’ve got to be amazed at the releasing speed of OpenAI. OpenAI has developed plugins that enable ChatGPT to interact with third-party applications, enhancing its capabilities and allowing it to perform a wide range of actions. The plugins allow ChatGPT to retrieve real-time and knowledge-base information or perform actions on behalf of the user, such as booking a flight or ordering food. The plugins are currently in limited alpha, but developers can create a plugin that allows ChatGPT to intelligently call their API.
Since this is a new release and at the time of this writing, under the alpha-limited version, but we can already take a sneak peek at how to use it and imagine the possibility of it integrating with many many new applications.
The Gist
To build a plugin, developers need to understand the end-to-end flow. They must create a manifest file and register it in the ChatGPT UI, and users must manually activate the plugin in the ChatGPT UI. When a user asks a relevant question, ChatGPT may choose to invoke an API call from the plugin and incorporate the API results into its response to the user.
