What Are ChatGPT Plugins?
ChatGPT Plugins are a new feature introduced by OpenAI to extend the capabilities of ChatGPT by allowing developers to create custom plugins using the OpenAI API.
These plugins can perform various tasks, such as language translation, code generation, and answering questions. By integrating with the ChatGPT API, developers can build powerful and versatile applications, contributing to a growing ecosystem of plugins to enhance user experience and provide more tailored solutions.
How Plugins Work
According to OpenAI’s official statement: “OpenAI plugins connect ChatGPT to third-party applications. These plugins enable ChatGPT to interact with APIs defined by developers, enhancing ChatGPT’s capabilities and allowing it to perform a wide range of actions.”
For example, by using the Browsing plug-in, chatGPT can directly access the network and grab the latest information as displayed below:
