Overview
You can accomplish a lot with ChatGPT just by typing commands into a website, but ChatGPT also exposes a REST API that makes it possible to embed its intelligence into your apps. Imagine writing tools that translate product manuals to other languages or convert VB.NET code to C#. Or what about putting a ChatGPT frontend on your company’s SharePoint documents? The ChatGPT API makes all this possible.
ChatGPT plug-ins are bits of code that tell ChatGPT how to use an external resource on the internet. They can direct ChatGPT to access up-to-date information, run computations, or use third-party services and to interact with APIs defined by developers, enhancing ChatGPT’s capabilities and allowing it to perform a wide range of actions. Done right, they can help businesses provide exceptional customer experiences, increase sales, automate redundant tasks, enhance brand loyalty, and much more.
Plug-ins represent an opportunity to build an “app store” for ChatGPT. Along with the ChatGPT REST API, they’re the sweet sauce that infuses modern apps and sites with the wizardry that ChatGPT and large language models seem to be bringing to the forefront of computing today.
Join Fixie.ai’s Matt Welsh, Nicole Butterfield from O'Reilly and other leading experts in the field to learn more about these plug-ins and get in on the ground floor of this explosive new technology.
