What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT

ChatGPT by OpenAI, introduced in November 2022, is a revolution in the world of conversational AI.  Based on the GPT-3.5 architecture, it can hold intelligent and engaging conversations, answer complex queries, generate content, and even write poetry!

This state-of-the-art technology has disrupted various industries, including customer service, education, healthcare, and marketing. ChatGPT has transformed the way we interact with machines, making it more human-like, personalized, and natural. With its advanced natural language processing abilities, ChatGPT is changing the game for chatbots and virtual assistants, making them smarter and more efficient.

What are ChatGPT Plugins?

OpenAI Plugins, also known as ChatGPT plugins, are add-ons that can be added to ChatGPT to enhance its capabilities.

These plugins are custom modules that can be integrated into the AI chatbot tailored to fit specific industries, including e-commerce, healthcare, finance, and education.

With ChatGPT plugins, you can now do more than just chat. You can book a flight, buy groceries, and perform various other tasks without leaving the chat window.

OpenAI has created two plugins itself:

  • Web browser plugin
  • Code interpreter plugin

These plugins are like magic wands that help mitigate some of ChatGPT’s current limitations, such as lacking knowledge about current events and poor mathematical and reasoning abilities, making it a more useful tool.

Why do you need a ChatGPT Plugin?

While ChatGPT is incredible as a conversational AI chatbot, it comes with limitations, including giving outdated and biased responses, being limited to text, having no voice support, and many more.

ChatGPT Plugins are the first step to working and overcoming some of these limitations.

  • The browsing plugin helps you generate updated responses with the most recent and customized information.
  • The code interpreter plugin minimizes the errors in code generated by ChatGPT by testing in a live environment.
  • The third-party plugin like Instcart, Slack, Zapier, OpenTable, and others help you automate redundant and boring tasks.

As OpenAI said, ChatGPT Plugins will be the ‘eyes and ears’ for language models, giving them access to personal, recent, or specific information.

Let’s dive in and learn about the 21 best ChatGPT Plugins to boost your productivity.

ChatGPT hosted Plugins

1. Browsing Plugin

The ChatGPT plugin – Browsing Plugin, is your super-smart assistant that browses the internet. With this plugin, ChatGPT can access the latest and most accurate information to answer questions that were previously beyond its capabilities.

The internet is flooded with ChatGPT browsing examples like generating the latest news and information about the Oscars, digging into the latest AI research, and more.

As always, safety is a top priority at OpenAI. ChatGPT uses Microsoft’s Bing search API and safety features to ensure the reliability and truthfulness of the information it provides. Additionally, it respects the preferences of website owners by avoiding sites that do not want to crawl their content.

Furthermore, ChatGPT always cites its sources and displays the websites it visited while generating a response to your questions. This feature allows you to verify the accuracy of ChatGPT’s responses, ensuring that you can always rely on the information it provides.

Want to get factually correct responses without installing any plugins? Chatsonic can be your go-to application! Directly integrated with Google Search, this generative AI tool can offer factually correct responses in real-time, that’s too, without any ChatGPT Plugin.

2. Code Interpreter Plugin

Code Interpreter ChatGPT plugin uses Python in a sandboxed and firewalled execution environment to handle uploads and downloads. When the Interpreter plugin is used, code is evaluated in a persistent session that remains active for the duration of a chat conversation, with a maximum timeout limit. The model supports uploading files to the current conversation workspace and downloading the work results.

With access to an eager, junior programmer operating at the speed of your fingertips, you can build efficient workflows effortlessly.Some of the initial use cases of Code Interpreter include solving mathematical problems (both quantitative and qualitative), data analysis, visualization, and file format conversion.

3. Retrieval Plugin by ChatGPT

Retrieval ChatGPT plugin is a self-hosted and open-source solution for developers to deploy their version of the plugin and register it with ChatGPT. The plugin utilizes OpenAI embeddings and allows developers to select a vector database (including Milvus, Pinecone, Qdrant, Redis, Weaviate, or Zilliz) for indexing and searching documents. Information sources can be synchronized with the database using webhooks.

Users can retrieve the most relevant document snippets from their data sources, such as files, notes, emails, or public documentation, by simply asking for them.

This process has no external effects, and the primary risk involves data authorization and privacy. Developers must ensure they are authorized to use the content they add to the retrieval plugin and share it in users’ ChatGPT sessions.

Here is an example of a Plugin called ‘ChatGPT memory’ built using the Retrieval code.

Start by accessing the retrieval plugin code.

5. Canva

The Canva ChatGPT plugin integrates Canva’s design capabilities directly into ChatGPT. Users can generate a wide array of designs including social media graphics, presentations, and various printables like brochures and T-shirt designs.

This tool is available at no extra cost, although it requires a ChatGPT Plus account for access. With the plugin activated within ChatGPT, users can leverage the combined power of AI text generation and Canva’s robust design platform to create diverse and professional-looking designs efficiently.

7. Link Reader

The Link Reader ChatGPT plugin enhances ChatGPT by enabling it to directly access, summarize, and interpret content from a range of digital formats such as web pages, PDF documents, images, and even PowerPoint presentations. This capability allows users to stay within their ChatGPT conversation while the plugin retrieves and condenses information from external links, offering detailed insights and translations when needed.

It’s particularly valuable for users who require fast and accurate understanding of content across different media, from news articles to academic papers. The plugin ensures that users can get a comprehensive grasp of complex subjects without the need to navigate away from their current ChatGPT session. This makes it a versatile tool for researchers, students, and professionals alike, simplifying the process of information acquisition and content analysis within the conversational AI framework.

8. Diagrams: Show Me

The Show Me Diagrams ChatGPT plugin is a visual tool that enables users to create, view, and edit diagrams within their ChatGPT conversation. It supports various diagram types such as flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and Gantt charts, catering to different needs, whether for educational purposes, business presentations, or technical documentation.

Users interact with the plugin through chat, requesting diagram creation or changes, and the diagrams are displayed within the chat only upon request. This feature facilitates a more dynamic and interactive way to learn and communicate complex processes and concepts.
