Can anyone share any use cases they've found for ChatGPT plugins?
Maybe it's because I don't have access to the Browsing plugin yet but the only use I've found for it was writing Wolfram Alpha queries for me like last week when I wanted to know how long it would take to get to the moon assuming a constant 1g acceleration (~3.4 hours iirc)
I found using Wolfram Alpha plugin is very powerful combination that makes ChatGPT able to do a calculations correctly. And solve a lot of equations that I might need to add later to a code that ChatGPT will produce. For example the last time I told it to solve a DE and then asked it to convert the units to natural units and then write a code that include this solution.
Without Wolfram Alpha, ChatGPT completely miss up the analytical solution and the units conversion. There is also a new Diagram it plugin which allow me to create and modify diagram inside ChatGPT which I'm currently trying and seems useful but did not integrate it in real life use case yet.
The Noteable plugin (disclaimer: I work there) allows you to create an entire computational notebook from a prompt. Load data, EDA, ML, viz, natural language description... all of it. It's the first thing I've done where when I've shared it with people not in tech they're legitimately wowed and a bit scared.
I'm biased of course but I think the fact that at the end you have an interactive document and not a static block of texts and figures makes it transformative.
Does the Browsing plugin imply you can ask ChatGPT about questions more recent than it’s training end date? I’m particularly working with some fairly bleeding edge open source technologies now and even though ChatGPT hasn’t been trained on their data it could probably make some pretty good inferences if it knew the newer software libraries I was working with. Right now my workaround is to give relevant snippets of the newer source code in my prompt to ChatGPT. ChatGPT4 seems to be good enough to be able to remember and use that source for later decisions. 3.5 is not.
I haven't used it yet but we utilize instacart in our household, I'll be very eager to see if I can feed it a few URLs for recipes i'd like to cook in the week, intelligently collect and organize the ingredients (and their proper amounts) needed, add it to an instacart account order where I approve the final list, and order.
It would save me a pretty manual repetitive task I do most weeks at least once or twice. If I can now basically just focus on the planning of meals by selecting recipes, that will feel like a real time saver that I can now do other things with.
I can second paprika. Its browser tool to search and save recipes is fantastic. It has some other tooling around pantry management that I’ve been meaning to try as well but even just the ability to put in a url and parse a recipe is absolutely worth the $5 on iOS.

Just read the announcement blog post[0]. I'm curious to play around with what you've been building soon.

Does it work with 3.5 or only 4? I'd love to try it out when I get access to plugins.
plugins now works only with GPT-4 model.
yep, they made the shift yesterday morning
I kept getting a plugin load error.
Reach out and we can try to fix it.

I don't know if you are on a mac - the but app Paprika works really well for the first part of this.
O_o....I did not know that, I'll have to try it out. Thanks for the tip!
