OpenAI, founded by Elon Musk, is a cutting-edge AI company taking the world of machine learning by storm. With its groundbreaking AI-based chatbot, ChatGPT, OpenAI is changing the way people interact with their devices and the internet. On Thursday, OpenAI announced the launch of plug-ins for ChatGPT, a move that could revolutionize many aspects of daily life. With plug-ins, ChatGPT users will be able to book flights, shop online, search the web, and more — all from within the chatbot!
Elon Musk has been a driving force behind the development of OpenAI and ChatGPT. His vision of an “everything app” has come to fruition with the app store plug-ins, as ChatGPT now has the potential to act as an operating system and interface for its users — eliminating the need for multiple tabs and homepages. Thanks to the high demand in the market, ChatGPT already has more than 100 million users.
The current list of app store plug-ins is limited to a few well-known companies such as Expedia, Instacart, Kayak, Klarna, OpenTable, Shopify, and Slack. Additionally, ChatGPT users can also access financial and legal data, do mathematical calculations, and use video software for light editing. This enables ChatGPT to act as an all-purpose assistant, carrying out and concealing the process of accessing websites or applications.
The ambition of ChatGPT is huge: OpenAI is trying to reorient the entire internet around ChatGPT and make it the one-stop shop for all computer-related tasks. This is different from previous attempts of making popular services conversational, as ChatGPT is powered by advanced language models that can mimic human conversations and complete a wide range of tasks such as summarizing, translating, and explaining.
The success of ChatGPT solely depends on its ability to keep up with the user’s needs, something that previous chatbots couldn’t do. OpenAI is betting that ChatGPT will be the “everything app” of the future and will be able to replace your home screen, search box, and feed. If this works, ChatGPT will be the giant of the internet, with users unable to go to any other website for their tasks.
With the launch of the plug-ins app store, OpenAI is demonstrating its commitment to becoming a comprehensive platform and expanding its presence in online markets. On its way to becoming the “everything app” of the people, ChatGPT has made a strong foundation to be a potential success. With its groundbreaking AI capabilities, Elon Musk’s ambitions, and OpenAI’s grand plan, the future of ChatGPT looks hopeful and exciting.
