I got my access to ChatGPT plugins, just over a week ago. Pleased to say that I got my first plug-in working yesterday. It’s an extremely simple plugin, but the plug-in technology became even more exciting to me when I used my plugin for the first time. Thank-you OpenAI for this opportunity.
In hindsight I now realize I could have done much of the work in advance of getting developer access.
so for those who do not yet have access, there is a lot you can do towards developing a plug-in.
- Read the documentation on how to develop a plug-in
- You can design and build your code, with one. or more endpoints.
- Create the OpenAPI specification file for your program. This is a requirement for the plugin.
- Test the functionality of your endpoint. If it works, it will likely work fine as a plugin.
- Create your
ai-plugin.jsonfile. You won’t make use of it until you have developer access to plugins but coding the specification forces you to think about how your plugin will work with ChatGPT.
I think there are a lot of opportunities out there for plug-ins, especially in more specialized domains whether they be corporate, academic or other.
