What are ChatGPT plugins? Here’s everything you need to know from PocketNow
By SANUJ BHATIA, OpenAI has been making headlines since the end of last year, primarily due to the immense popularity of its flagship service, ChatGPT. This AI-powered chatbot has taken the world by storm and has proven to be a useful tool for many people. The company has been on a run of announcements, recently unveiling its GPT-4 model, and has now introduced ChatGPT plugins. In this article, we’ll explain what ChatGPT plugins are, what they can do for you, and what plugins are available right now.
What are ChatGPT Plugins?
One of the limitations of ChatGPT is that it can reply to a user's query based only on the training data it has, which is limited to 2021. This means that ChatGPT is unaware of the latest events or even those that occurred in the last year. Plugins will essentially allow ChatGPT to access the world of the internet and retrieve information from it.
Think of plugins as apps for ChatGPT
Plugins will allow the service to interact with live data from the web and specific websites. Think of plugins as apps for ChatGPT. Using these plugins, the AI chatbot will be able to perform a number of tasks that it has not been able to do until now. OpenAI says that plugins are like ChatGPT's "eyes and ears" and have the potential to turn the chatbot into a versatile interface for a variety of services and websites.
Using the plugins, ChatGPT will be able call APIs of compatible third-party services to perform actions. In a post, the company wrote "For instance, if a user asks, "Where should I stay in Paris for a couple nights?", the model may choose to call a hotel reservation plugin API, receive the API response, and generate a user-facing answer combining the API data and its natural language capabilities."
