OpenAI announced support for ChatGPT plugins , or tools for businesses to plug the AI model into their systems to complete specific tasks, such as booking flights or recommending products.
The first plugins, introduced last week, are compatible with Instacart, Slack, Expedia, Wolfram, and other platforms and brands .
- Developers can create ChatGPT plugins to interact with other internet services and offer more features beyond the basic chatbot.
-
Users will be able to access the plugins from a ChatGPT plugin interface or
"store,"
allowing them to select and install the plugins.
- Klarna Bank AB's plugin uses ChatGPT to make product recommendations for purchases.
- Expedia created a plugin for trip planning, and Instacart will offer one for grocery orders.
- A waitlist to access ChatGPT plugins is available online. OpenAI said it's prioritizing access to a small number of developers and users who have a ChatGPT Plus subscription.
