That's a game-changer! It seems like factuality issues with ChatGPT might be fixed. We wrote a blog post on how to get started with a custom plugin: https://qdrant.tech/articles/chatgpt-plugin/

>It seems like factuality issues with ChatGPT might be fixed.

Is that really possible to fix that just from a plug-in? All it has to do is admit when it doesn't have the answer, and yet it won't even do that. This leads me to think that ChatGPT doesn't even know when it's lying, so i can't imagine how a plug-in will fix that.

The rate of improvement with GPT has been staggering. In just January I spent a lot of time working with the API and almost everything I've done has been made easier over the past two months.

They're really building a platform. Curious to see where this goes over the next couple of years.

Smart way to remain the funnel owner. Let everyone build a plugin, before they integrate your product into theirs.

OpenAI is crushing it in terms of product strategy

Well, of course.

They are led by GPT4 and their CEO is just a Text To Speech Interface ;-)

(Zapier cofounder) Super excited for this. Tool use for LLMs goes way beyond just search. Zapier is a launch partner here -- you can access any of the 5k+ apps / 20k+ actions on Zapier directly from within ChatGPT. We are eager to see how folks leverage this composability. Some new example capabilities are retrieving data from any app, draft and send messages/emails, and complex multi step reasoning like look up data…

The problem with Zapier is zaps are to expensive at scale.

A plug-in can detect when text comes up that is in a specific domain and whether or not ChatGPT believes it is hallucinating, the plugin can be invoked to provide additional context to ChatGPT. That is, in order to fix the problem, ChatGPT doesn't even need to know that it has a problem.

Well, that and you trust Zapier with a lot of stuff.

This sounds like a game-changer for any kind of API interaction with ChatGPT.

At present, we are naively pushing all information a session might need into the session before it might be needed in case it might be needed (meaning a lot of info that generally wont end up being used, like realtime updates to associated data records, needs to be pushed into the session as they happen, just in case).

It looks like plugins will allow us to flip that around and have the session pull information it might need as it needs it, which would be a huge improvement.

I would be interested to play with a long term memory plugin. It could be a note-taking system that would summarize prior conversations and pull their context into the current conversation through topic searches. This would enable the model to have a blurry long term memory outside of the current context.

I played with some prompts and GTP-4 seems to have no problem reading and writing to a simulated long term memory if given a basic pre-prompt.
