What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a chatbot that was introduced by OpenAI in November 2022. The chatbot is based on OpenAI's GPT-3 models and has been optimized through both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques. ChatGPT has gained notoriety for its comprehensive answers and impressive language capabilities across various domains. Nonetheless, its inconsistent factual accuracy has been recognized as a significant disadvantage. OpenAI's valuation was estimated to be worth $29 billion following ChatGPT's introduction as a prototype on November 30, 2022.

What do ChatGPT Plugins Mean? 

ChatGPT has previously struggled with solving complex mathematical problems due to its nature as a language model. However, this is set to change with the introduction of a new set of proprietary plugins, as well as third-party plugins, announced by OpenAI. These plugins will allow ChatGPT to browse the internet and provide relevant responses to users, and even enable tasks such as shopping and ticket booking. OpenAI plans to introduce an online plugin store where users can purchase third-party plugins. Plugins essentially act as "eyes and ears" for language models, allowing access to information that may not be included in the training data, such as recent or personal information. They can also assist in the decision-making and execution of tasks, acting as an automation tool. According to OpenAI, plugins will increase the usefulness of the system overall.

How to access ChatGPT plugins?

  • The availability of the plugins is currently limited to certain developers and insiders.
  • The plugins are not fully open to the public yet.
  • To increase your chances of early access, you can join their waitlist or subscribe to ChatGPT Plus, their paid service.
  • OpenAI has stated that they will give priority to a small number of developers and ChatGPT Plus users.

How to use ChatGPT plugins?

  • Presently, the ChatGPT plugins are only accessible to a restricted group of developers and insiders.
  • If you are interested in getting early access to the plugins, you can sign up for the waitlist.
  • People who have subscribed to ChatGPT Plus are more likely to receive priority on the waitlist.

How to join the waitlist for ChatGPT plugins?

  • The waitlist for ChatGPT plugins is open to anyone who is interested in joining.
  • The waitlist form is publicly available and appears to have no restrictions.
  • However, it's possible that developers or users with a specific or unique need to build a plugin may be able to provide more valuable information and feedback to OpenAI in specific areas they want to test.
  • Therefore, it's possible that priority may be given to these types of individuals when granting access to the plugins.
