ChatGPT plugins are an amazing new development from OpenAI.
They will dramatically expand ChatGPT’s capabilities rapidly.
If you’re curious what it is like to use the first batch of plugins, watch this video:
Approximate Transcript:
Hi, in this video, I want to go deeper into the plugins I shot another chat GPT plugins video, I didn’t go over all of them, I’m going to try to cover as many of them as I can. Many of my voice can hold up, I might pause to talk for a little bit because I do still have COVID. And, but also some of the plugins I noticed actually were working that weren’t working before specifically the Zapier plugin, and I’m going to show you as many of them as I can. So this one just didn’t couldn’t even figure out how that would work. Let’s go back, let’s do Zapier, we’re going to just uninstall everything so I can show you kind of from scratch. So he wants me to connect. Let me pull this window over. So it looks like I already have a bunch of actions. And that I have on here. But what we can do is let’s just add some new ones. And so right now, there’s still only six actions. I won’t show you all of them. But what I did before was these things didn’t work. I’m not gonna do the slack or the the Gmail was to do the Google Sheets one. I think that’s the more useful one. It still wasn’t working exactly correctly. And I’ll show you what I mean in a minute.
Enable action. Okay, so we got that one. Let’s also do the lookup
just have a I guess all these
Okay, so this should be working. And we’re just gonna close this now. Alright, so now we’ve got it enabled here. And I have a sheet when we pull it up. Okay, so here’s the sheet, Yoda isms. And what it what seems to do is it’ll repeat itself when it’s not supposed to. That’s when it lastly, the last time I did it, which was about a week ago, the first time I did it, it wouldn’t do anything. So what we’re going to do is we’re going to say, so we have wraps is the the I think they call us the sheet. And this is the worksheet, I don’t remember exactly how they name it. But let’s say please add, let’s see, ice cream, toast and pickles to kind of want to test see if it will do it on row six. And or it’ll just do the next empty row
to row six. Actually, here, let’s do
row six in cells in columns
A, B, and C respectively. Your pause while I finish typing this. So actually, I’m going to copy this. And I’m actually going to see if I need this last part because I believe it actually does need that last part. So let’s try this.
Let’s see what it does.
So I was not able to retrieve the information when I did it last time as well. Looks like I need to specify the worksheet. Okay, so you do need to specify that. All right, stop generating. Let’s try this again. See, even though there’s only one sheet within the Google Sheet or I’ll pause
I think it’s going to ask for confirmation. It’s going to show me a preview of the action.
Maybe a safety measure. So it’s weird Ice cream, ice cream, pickles. I could have edited it. But I just wanted to see if I just did it raw. And it didn’t do it on the correct row. It just did the next empty row which is interesting. So it’s better. But because in the past it did. I did three things as well. Excuse me, and it it it did one in all three. It got a little closer this time. But let’s see
what let’s try this. Now let’s try I
Okay, here’s the next next request let’s see if it can retrieve this information due to a variety of special rule being empty or the specific columns not containing any data
yeah that’s not what we’re looking for so it doesn’t it isn’t able to isn’t able to actually pull the information so it’s still not working but again this they haven’t released this publicly yet so I’m sure if they’re still testing and it’s already improved several times as I tried it let’s let’s go into some different plugins
the Wolfram Alpha one I did show that one successfully that that’s probably the best one so far that I’ve found let’s let’s just try this shot one. I can’t remember what what happened with this one. It’s too sharp turn off Zapier.
Let’s try this
I will show you how I was doing this it’s really interesting how it gives you sort of the some of the context there I don’t know how useful this is to be honest, because I wonder if it’s like if it’s actually finding like the best price is $109 million. What made them pick this this site? Over Amazon?
Okay, $540 million
All right. Maybe it’s like a classic shoe or maybe maybe they actually did find like the best one. Alright here’s, I guess this is eBay newish. Me It’s kind of cool. I like this, this image down here. It’s pretty, that’s pretty neat. I don’t see. I don’t see myself shopping this way. It feels like it still needs some more comparison aspects like maybe they pick a shoe. And they find several places where you can buy that shoe and give you several options as opposed to just one option. But it’s interesting. Oh, it’s so running in pause, not sure why this is still running like this because I did some other stuff for a few minutes. And it just seems like it’s done. So we’re just gonna try another one. I looked up some information on this right here. And it looks like they have I showed this last time they have joined the waitlist. It looks like it can’t even test it. So maybe they’re trying to put stuff in there that looks like maybe open I own some of it. Or maybe they just put that on there for fun. Or Y Combinator which I guess is a major thing in Silicon Valley. And there’s more information here. I can’t work I can’t really use it doesn’t see it doesn’t actually do anything as far as I can tell. Let’s try Expedia. I’m gonna actually tried this one yet. So
I would like to
I’m just gonna do this. Please help me plan a trip to Hawaii in July of this year. Always helpful to be polite to the to the robots. Okay, so it didn’t quite notice that. That that didn’t pull from Expedia. But did it ask some questions. So maybe it’s just waiting for the Expedia? What city let’s just do Honolulu
was actually pretty good. wasn’t quite sure. It didn’t have all the information with Expedia. Let’s see it. Let’s see what it does.
And pause. It is interesting that it assumed July 1, July 4, which is kind of weird. I didn’t give it any dates. What I might be able to do is say give it some specific dates it’s going to click through this while it’s finishing that up and see what see what this link does. So it has a location like a place to stay at Norfolk it hasn’t given flight information yet. It did automatically fill out the check in check out that’s kind of nice. That’s actually pretty useful. I think, actually, this is. This seems more useful than a shopping app just because I could see starting a conversation with chat GPT planning a trip, asking the questions about like, or giving it like, this is what I kind of wanted to trip. Where do you think I should go? Blah, blah, blah? And then midway through the conversation doing alright, that finally these things. Now, would that be more is that more efficient than then just doing the research yourself asking the questions in chat GPT or using GPS for for that, and then doing your own Google searches? Or just going straight to Expedia and doing the search? It’s unclear.
Let’s see. So you can also find flights activities, car rentals for your trip, actually.
Okay, so here’s my response. So it did change it to this. But I also wanted to test to see if it could kind of handle multiple options and do kind of comparisons, and least so far doesn’t look like it’s it’s done that when I click through, it does have the correct check in checkout times. I also wonder if there’s a way to limit it to guest rating of nine and above. I think that might be pretty useful. And I want to let it finish to see if maybe it gives additional options here. And then flight info.
Okay, so Alright, so here’s how I’m gonna do I’m gonna
add another message here. Alright. So can you give me only lodging options with a guest rating of 9.4? or greater? Okay, so it acknowledged the guests rating of 9.0 or greater, let’s see if it if it fulfills on that, that request. Okay, so it was successful at keeping all the guests ratings above nine. So that’s good. That’s for flights.
I’d prefer a direct flight. I think that there are some so I’m asking if it has some walls getting that there is a point? I think that’s important here is this seems to take longer than if I were just do a Google search and kind of poke around myself. And you know, each time ask a question, it kind of has to restart as opposed to like, if I was actually on Expedia, I do feel like this process would probably be faster. But that said, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a way to improve it in the future. And that this is just kind of a starting place for it. Okay, it didn’t quite follow the context of the on this, because actually returned direct flights. And maybe I should ask that again. Let’s try this. Are there any direct round trip flights, and that was faster than the hotel one it generated that let’s click through here
so did look like it did it correctly? These are all one stops. So it didn’t it didn’t filter for non stop. That’s fine. That’s a flight 115. And obviously, the flight numbers on there. Okay, let’s move on to something else. This seems like okay, but not necessarily an improvement over just doing it yourself through expedia.com.
So I guess this is this, we can compare Expedia kayak. Let’s do that. And actually, we’ll do go back here and copy this.
Okay, so here’s our prompt. I added a little bit, a little bit more specifications to it. As I work through it, and ask me the questions. And yeah, this will hopefully give us all the answers we need right out the gate. Now the way that plugin interacts with chat up, some of that is up to 10, GPT. And a bit some a lot of it is up to kayak. So maybe there are options will be better. Maybe it’ll be faster. But notice how it’s just taking time and this is with GPT 3.5 GPT. Four will be even slower if they integrate that into their Okay, so I want to point out I did ask it a lot more in one question than I did with the other one but it’s already been a couple minutes and It’s still not done, it’s still kind of processing this. So I’m gonna pause it for a little bit longer. Interesting that there’s an error in here as well. Okay, it took a while and it does look like maybe this will be forever spinning just like the other one. I liked that it offered. So the the expediate plugin didn’t do as good of a job in understand that I wanted to look at two different timeframes. And also, I feel like the response here is much better, because instead of listing out specific flights, it doesn’t really make as much sense. It. It, it said, Hey, there’s there’s multiple options. And if we click book here, let’s see, let’s see what they if it’s actually filtered for. So it isn’t filtered for nonstop. But But where are the dates? Let’s see, it does have the dates correctly. So still still better, because the other one just was unnecessarily wordy, wordy. All of these do have a nine rating or higher. So that’s good. Let’s double check. The dates are correct. And it does match. Also, the link that I clicked here for the second option is accurate. So this is good. So far, I’m liking the kayak plugin more, I think it’s better. And it’s I feel like it’s more concise. Now maybe that has to do with the fact that I gave it a better question up front. Up in the air, I’m still questioning whether or not this as it stands now is more or less useful than just going to kayak.com in in filtering these things out. It could be useful in the context of a conversation. But it could also just actually add more time, because it does take quite a bit of time for this to run out. And hopefully they’ll speed that up. Alright, let’s try another one. All right, haven’t tried to open let’s let’s actually just uninstall these because I don’t really care. Straight Open Table. So open table selected. So because here’s my prompt, I would like to eat sushi for dinner tonight. And what’s planning? Can you give me some recommendations, please? Do want to unpause. So you can see how slow this is even with GPT 3.5? Because it does it is taking a long time. Right now I would say this is a far inferior experience versus just going to Google and typing in sushi restaurant. They’re not mentioning reviews, maybe I can ask them to give reviews to it, if I click through are actually used open table. So they do have reviews on if we can ask it to list the reviews for all the locations. It also appears to have gotten the location incorrect because it’s doing Singapore.
Singapore Yeah, that’s definitely not correct. Well, so there’s not really a city called West Point. Oh, it’s just playing it was really big. And over on the west side, and I was curious if it would get this right. So let’s try this again. Alright, I’m gonna try this. Yeah, this works. I kind of want the Google Maps location. I really don’t want the OpenTable. Link. I’m not trying to make reservations. Let’s see if it gets it right. Wow. Okay, so this is far superior to the initial response. Let’s see if the Google Maps link actually works.
Did a Google Maps? So didn’t actually find this is not bad. Actually. It’s interesting that it would I search this out it was still not bad. It wasn’t it was the wasn’t a direct link. Let’s see if this one worked. This one also did not work. But it’s still pretty fast. That’s actually not not that bad. It’s convenient. So it looks like there’s multiple locations.
The review count isn’t quite accurate. So 204.5. And wonder if we would need to have Wolfram Alpha integrated for that to get that exactly correct.
Overall, it’s okay. I think the biggest limiting factor here is really going to be the speed. It needs to be a lot faster for it to be useful. And it needs to give more comprehensive data right out of the gate instead of just listing this also it was weird that it did Singapore that doesn’t really make sense that it would pick Singapore I did make it a lot more clear with Plano comma, Texas, just to do a West maybe I could have said the west side of Plano, Texas, that might have gotten a better response. Okay, my voice is running out. So we’re gonna have to make to do just one more. Let’s see. This one didn’t really work.
kind of curious about that.
It’s really weird. Okay, I kind of want to do open Instacart and the shopping one.
Let’s try Instacart.
All right. Okay, here we go. I did add Wolfram Alpha, because it might want to calculate certain things about healthy stuff. So just in case, and let’s see, let’s see how it does with us. Now, it might actually be better to do the meal plan separately in GPT. Four. But we want to make this as easy as possible for the user. And I do think that they will integrate this into GPD. Four, I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t. Okay, so it actually did a pretty good job. It did get the correct the basic meal plan. I’m not sure how easy or hard these are, I’m not much of a cook. We’ve got one vegetarian, one salmon and three chicken. It didn’t really give me instructions. But that’s fine. It didn’t really ask for instructions. And then it asked for me to add to Instacart. Now I don’t have an Instacart account. So we’ll just kind of see what happens. Maybe I’ll create a free one just to test it. Okay, so actually, I did have an old one. And I think I’m gonna be able to finish all the plugins because the cough drop is working for me. Okay. So I’ve already logged in. Let’s see this link the same looking at the bottom left. Okay, so it’s the same link was clicked. Martin logged in, was not my actual address. So add zero items to cart. Is it still loading? I can’t quite tell. No, it doesn’t appear to be still Oh, there we go. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Okay.
Who used to shop for lease?
Let’s see, let’s find the car. Stop. Okay.
And then this is actually incredibly useful. I would rather it not use Instacart or revenue, something else. Not a, it’s useful, it was very useful during the pandemic. But, you know, if I find it to be pretty wasteful, I’d rather just go to like, Kroger to go, or you know, pick up, that would be less expensive, faster, easier. But that said, this is pretty cool that this actually is, you know, commented on the other ones not being very useful. This is incredibly useful to just add all of this with the right quantities to create a meal plan from scratch. And to just add, if the car does have, I could just buy it right now and have it show up at the door. And boom, that’s very, very useful in already. And I could actually see some improvements on this as well. It could, you know, there could be, you could have your preferences or something already in the app or something, to where like, what kind of stuff you like, or kind of balance with your meals that you want. And it could just be like, Alright, make me a new meal plan. And, and go from there. This is really, really useful and cool. If especially if I was, you know, if I used Instacart on a regular basis, which I it’s been a very long time since I have used it. I would love to see Kroger make an app for this, or you know, maybe all these or something. It was a quarter right next to my house. So that would be more useful. And I think it would be much less expensive, and less wasteful, to do it that way. But you know, that’s this is still really, really cool. Alright, let’s go back here. And fill out we’ll leave Wolfram Alpha in there. Because it seems like sometimes that needs to be integrated. Let’s check this one out. We already did a shopping app. It’s actually go to basketball shoe shopping. Let’s do the same comparison there. So let’s see what this gives me is the first the exact thing I did on the first one, I think it would be better to do like a prompt. And I’ll build the prompts separately. That involves like, compare it you know, automatically comparing multiple places. So don’t just give me a product in one place. Give me a product in three places where I can buy that product at a low price. For Good price or whatever. And that it is interesting that it’s giving me some of these properties. That’s, that’s pretty useful. I don’t remember if the other one did that. Oh, see, but it’s okay. 10.5 is here. I’ll pause, let it finish. Okay, let’s see what it did. And we can also compare the results to this one seems a little weaker, just to be honest. I kind of liked the detail. It does. They didn’t do the pictures, right. So that wasn’t as good. And they also just gave me a bunch of different. Let’s see, it’s, I guess it’s all what is Klarna? So it’s just all okay, so it’s an aggregator. Okay. So this actually, I think, makes more sense. Because instead of linking directly to the different pages, it gives me a comparison so I can actually go on here and find the lowest price. And it looks like it’s 131 Did it list that correctly? 131 Okay, so this is definitely superior. I like this a lot more. And I think this is actually useful again, it’s very, very slow. And yeah, I think this is pretty interesting, and has some potential. Alright, let’s move on. To uninstall this. So this one didn’t work. Also just seems really really not useful at all. Access market leading real time data sets for legal political and regulatory. Okay. I wonder if we can just do
please tell me what fiscal chat
GPT to plug in to. This should be a part of every plugin so far actually. I don’t think that they’ve done this I should go test this on the other plugins as well. Okay, so it’s giving us a good answer. Okay, this is interesting
So, this is really weird. I guess this is like SQL. I don’t know what what this what this is right here. Maybe somebody else knows if you do put it in the comments about the White House calendar this is really interesting. I have to try this on the other ones now. So let’s look at like
please give me
let’s see what this is let’s see let’s see who’s doing their job and who’s not who’s who’s at work and who’s who’s playing hooky.
May be better served with a Google search not really sure exactly what to do with this I do feel like there’s probably some usefulness to it if you’re in the government news this could give you an enable to chat with it I don’t definitely don’t see myself using it. We’re actually going to do is we’re going to go in and we’re going to look to this for everything please tell me what the Wolfram Alpha let’s just make sure that they all can do this. Because they should definitely do this there should be a way to be like I think the Meelo one is the one that did it didn’t do it last time it didn’t it didn’t understand what was going on okay, this is this is this is pretty good
by entities such as countries Oh really? I didn’t know that. Yeah, this is this is this is one of the coolest parts
so you don’t necessarily need Wolfram Alpha to do this unless maybe it gets more up to date information. And maybe, I guess you could have also done this with GPD for Alright, let’s try a different plugin. Let’s go ahead and uninstall this one. Alright, let’s let’s see if they fix this because this this was the worst performing one so far. Okay. What’s it called? Nilo? Famy from the
NEMO
okay, it didn’t do this correctly last time. Again, you know, I noticed this is the In alpha, and they haven’t released this publicly, I have developer access. I tried to get a, a plugin developed in their timeline, they had like a cutoff date of April 11. And I had just gotten access like a week before, put my developers and I have a big team but but my developers on on it as we without trying to drop the other urgent things we had, and couldn’t quite get something delivered in a week. It sounds like it was from a developer’s that it was a little more less straightforward than it seemed to actually create a plugin that worked fully. So good that good on them that they that this is actually working, because it was not working before. Let’s see what I’m going to read this. Okay, what’s magic today?
This isn’t quite what? Oh.
This isn’t quite what the website sold it as so it actually seems pretty different. The website more seemed like to help you manage your family. So shopping lists to do lists schedule, that actually sounds more useful than this, because I just go to GPT four and be like, give me a fun thing I can do with my kids today. So now maybe if this includes that in there, and it’s better than like what GPT four or Google will provide, then maybe that’s useful. Or maybe as part of a greater conversation it could actually be useful but at least it passed that that test we just talked about Alright, let’s go through this process again.
Close action settings to Zapier.
Okay and action called conversation
Okay, that’s pretty good enough. I’m actually just kind of curious if any of them are unable to give a response. Let’s just install them all actually.
Close
this is interesting. I should probably ask this first before I did it before I did anything. It is giving some pretty good detail here and I think some reasonable ideas on how to how to use these things. Expedia, if I can ask both
ah no conflicting that’s funny
it seems like a better type of response something that doesn’t seem like it’s made for coders. It’s something that’s made for actual people to to look at is a good response actually, it’s not too long but not too short. It gives an I like the number of things it makes very easy to read and see what it actually does. Let’s compare that to kayak
Okay, not quite as good as Expedia one is kind of giving it in, like coding this endpoint. That’s a that’s a coding type of reference. It’s still not terrible All right. So far they’ve all been able to do that. That’s good. That lets me do open table and I guess there’s two different ones at the same time.
Okay, this was pretty cool. Save me a couple steps. Okay, so so far they’ve all been able to enter that.
Speak in this will be this speak in Klarna. Quantum shopping. What? Speak to one.
Okay, let’s see what it did here.
Okay, so they all have it now that’s great in, it’s actually pretty useful thing and maybe I can expand it over time. Okay. Okay, that’s all the plugins right now, at least at this point, I know that they’re trying to add some more plugins. They’re still a little bit rough around the edges in some of them. And hopefully you found this helpful. I really didn’t see I haven’t seen any information out there other than just real quick, you know, that original video that opening I shot and really not much else on what what it’s really like on the back end here. And the experience overall, there’s a lot of potential, it’s very slow, and so and wonderful because it doesn’t use the legacy. Remember, if it uses the legacy, it’s possible that it’s because it uses the legacy which is much slower than the turbo. But it’s just very slow. I tried to posit for every single one because you this video would have been three times longer. Otherwise, it’s already a pretty long video. Well, if you’ve made it this far, I appreciate you. Thank you very much. And hopefully, you know if made it this far, subscribe and like and comment and send smoke signals and everything. Thank you very much. Hope you have a great day. Bye
