web pilot’s prompt is fully controllable by ChatGPT, you just have to let it know it can do it.
It can use APIs once it’s aware that it can. It can do anything a browser can, so long as you teach it that it IS a web browser and not a bot when browsing under user direction.
It’s possible that browsing can also do stuff like this, but without any info on the actual back end there’s no telling if it can.
However it appears it’s been replaced by Bing in some way, and it does seem to perform a lot better now when directing it to explore repositories designed to teach it web browsing tricks.
