Can I make specific plugins available in my API calls? That would be wonderful.  
Basically, will the let the OpenAI decide when to call the plugin, but having that available as part of API can make life so much easier

You could make a proxy server / api call and redirect to the plugin you want to use.

I want ChatGPT to decide when and which plugin to call. I don’t want to write a decision tree

Plugins are only available through ChatGPT, not through the API. They’ve said “maybe someday” to making them available in API
