Now available to paying ChatGPT users, ChatGPT plugins are an exciting addition to the AI ecosystem. These plugins allow users to customize and enhance their ChatGPT experience by providing additional functionality beyond the basic capabilities of the model.

How are ChatGPT plugins used?
The use of ChatGPT plugins will depend on the user interface provided by OpenAI or the plugin developer. To activate them, all you have to do is use GPT version 4, select the desired plugin and activate it, in some cases identification is required.
In the case of WebPilot, which allows access to the Internet, we will see this component drop-down during the chat:
In some cases, when activating the plugin, it takes us to the page of the corresponding service, where it is required to create an account and identify ourselves.
Things to keep in mind
Before reaching out to the plugin store, they from OpenAi warn of three important points:
- Plugins work with third-party applications that are not controlled by OpenAI, so it is important to trust a plugin before installation.
- Plugins connect ChatGPT to external applications. If you enable a plugin, ChatGPT may send parts of your conversation and the country or state you are in to the plugin to improve your conversation.
- ChatGPT automatically chooses when to use plugins during a conversation based on which plugins you have enabled.
