ChatGPT has already been turning many industries upside down by automating jobs once thought irreplaceable.
And now, OpenAIβs latest release β Plugins β is about to take things to a whole new level! π€―
Think of Plugins as an App Store for ChatGPT to connect to the internet and various 3rd party applications natively.
OpenAI is rolling it out to a select group of developers and premium ChatGPT Plus subscribers first, with larger-scale access coming later. Weβll go over the most exciting plugins in a bit π
The most intriguing plugin?
π OpenAI's first-party web-browsing!
Now, ChatGPT can access data from around the web to answer your questions, no longer limited to knowledge from before September 2021. π€
And it'll cite its sources, too! π
But, with great power comes great responsibility.
Web access for chatbots has its risks β just ask Meta's BlenderBot 3.0, which went off the rails, spouting conspiracy theories and offensive content. Thatβs why we need to be vigilant and careful, and weβll discuss how later in this article π¬
The live web is less curated and filtered than static training datasets. πͺοΈ Search engines like Google and Bing try to keep things safe, but bad actors can game the system.
Nevertheless, itβs exciting to see ChatGPT finally getting plugged into the internet and the various apps we use personally and for work.
Think about it. For the first time in history, a highly advanced conversational AI that can read, learn and build will be connected to the world wide web, and everyone will be able to use it.
What are the use cases and risks, and how will ChatGPT affect individuals and businesses? Letβs find out! π

The Power of ChatGPT's Plugins
The era of manual data entry in ChatGPT is over (though it only lasted a few months)!
If you've been using ChatGPT for work, you're probably all too familiar with the limitations and frustrations of manually feeding external information into the chat.
(By the way, weβre curious if you, dear reader, are using ChatGPT or other tools in your day-to-day work already? Reply to this email with βYesβ or βNoβ π Thanks!)
The tedious process of copy-pasting and dealing with character limitations can feel like a throwback to the early days of computing when data entry meant laboriously inputting information using punch cards. π
But fear not! Plugins are here to make our lives easier. With the release of ChatGPT Plugins, we're stepping out of this limbo and into an era where AI can access a wealth of resources and applications, and can parse through relevant information in company databases, and more.
This will enable ChatGPT to provide highly educated analysis, offer suggestions, and execute various repetitive (and even more creative!) tasks, all without the need for manual data entry or even active oversight! π
By connecting ChatGPT to various resources and platforms, users can extend its functionality beyond just conversation. Conversation -> Execution! How?
Take Zapier for example.
Ask ChatGPT to write and schedule a tweet through the Zapier plugin, all without leaving the dashboard.
Or have it read and update a spreadsheet, write an email, find contacts in a CRM database, or any number of tasks available for the 5000+ apps connected through Zapier. Incredible!
With a rapidly growing list of plugins (there seem to be 80 already), integrating ChatGPT into your daily workflow will become a breeze π
The death of Google and browser-based search is near. Someone hacked the ChatGPT API and found over 80 plugins that aren't available yet. Everything is about to change.

As more plugins are created, ChatGPT will only become more useful and versatile. Very soon, we will see some that enable ChatGPT to interact with IoT devices (Internet of Things), manage finances, become personal assistants for individuals and companies, or even assist in scientific research.
The possibilities are endless! π
However, as we integrate ChatGPT into more aspects of our lives, it's crucial to understand the potential risks and challenges this technology brings.
In the next section, we'll delve into the privacy and data security concerns that arise when dealing with powerful AI like ChatGPT. π
