OpenAI created a web browser plugin, making it useful for retrieving information. Browsing retrieves content from the web using the Bing search API.
The browsing plugin shows websites visited and cites their sources in ChatGPT’s responses.
The open-source retrieval plugin enables ChatGPT to access personal or organizational information sources (with permission).
It allows users to obtain the most relevant document snippets from their data sources, such as files, notes, emails, or public documentation, by asking questions or expressing needs in natural language.
The retrieval plugin allows ChatGPT to search a vector content database and add the best results into the ChatGPT session.
The code interpreter is ideal for solving mathematical problems, data analysis and visualization, and converting files between formats.
Expedia, FiscalNote, Instacart, KAYAK, Klarna, Milo, OpenTable, Shopify, Slack, Speak, Wolfram, and Zapier created the first plugins.
