ChatGPT plugins

ChatGPT plugins enhance the functionality of ChatGPT, an AI language model, by offering users extra features and access to current information or external services.

These plugins are designed with a strong emphasis on safety and are being gradually introduced to a small group of users to assess their effects, safety measures, and alignment considerations.

The initial group of plugins was developed by prominent companies like Expedia, Klarna, Slack, and Wolfram. There are also plugins available for web browsing and code interpretation.

Plugins act as resources for language models by granting them access to more specific or tailored information that is not part of their training data.

Beyond simply producing text, they provide additional capabilities, allowing the language model to perform calculations, retrieve the latest information, or connect with external services.

ChatGPT plugins will become available to more users over time, and developers who receive an invitation from the waitlist can utilize the provided documentation to create their own plugins.

In addition, the code for a knowledge base retrieval plugin has been made open source, giving developers the choice to host the plugin themselves. ChatGPT plugins are intended to give the community the chance to influence how humans and AI interact.
