Introduction

OpenAI released today ChatGPT Plugins¹. The new feature includes built in web browser and code interpreter — I think impacting a heavy way on how internet is used today. OpenAI is apart open sourcing knowledge retrieval plugin, to let developers build on top of it.

Plugins integrate inside ChatGPT:

  • Taking actions: reserve a restaurant, hotel rooms, etc
  • Real-time services like sports scores or weather information.
  • Include knowledge from documentation: a contract, process etc.

Few plugins are already available: Expedia, FiscalNote, Instacart, KAYAK, Klarna, Milo, OpenTable, Shopify, Slack, Speak, Wolfram, and Zapier. Most interestingly, developers can built their own plugin inside the platform — enabling major market opportunity.

Let’s take a closer look!

The best way to start building Plugins is via the waitlist³, because it lets alpha-testers to share their plugins with additional 15 testers. OpenAI will later enable a “Submit plugins for review”-form to add new plugins. So, the waitlist gives a head up for developers.
