Newegg, a renowned global e-commerce leader for technology products, has recently unveiled its PC Builder ChatGPT plugin, making it the first-ever ChatGPT plugin specifically designed for computer shopping. This ground-breaking plugin harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to assist ChatGPT Plus subscribers in assembling the perfect components for their dream desktop PC. Excitingly, Newegg is also among the pioneering retail brands to create a ChatGPT plugin.
The PC Builder plugin is currently accessible on both the GPT-4 desktop and mobile platforms. Users of GPT-4 can input details regarding their desired future PC build, including component preferences, performance requirements, PC usage, and budget. GPT-4 will then showcase the name, price, image, and link for each recommended component for the PC build. Once GPT-4 has assembled the components, users can find their PC Builder list on Newegg.com to further customize their selection and proceed with checkout.
OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Plus earlier this year as a subscription plan that offers access to GPT-4, along with additional AI benefits that go beyond the free ChatGPT option, which is based on GPT-3.5. ChatGPT plugins, which expand the capabilities of the AI program, are exclusively available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers for GPT-4, and can be found in the plugin store.
Lucy Huo, the Vice President of Application Development for Newegg, expressed the company’s commitment to integrating AI into their services, particularly through new entry points for users. Huo emphasized the opportunity they saw to create the ChatGPT plugin, providing subscribers the ability to assemble the parts for their dream machine directly within the GPT-4 platform. Huo also mentioned that Newegg’s programmers dedicate significant amounts of time each week to AI-related projects, including the development of a new AI shopping experience. Furthermore, Huo mentioned the potential for utilizing AI platforms outside of Newegg to connect with users wherever they may be.
The PC Builder ChatGPT plugin can be accessed through the plugin store by ChatGPT Plus subscribers. Users without ChatGPT Plus can still utilize the PC Builder on Newegg.com or the Newegg app. It’s worth noting that the PC Builder on Newegg.com is also powered by ChatGPT.
By launching the PC Builder ChatGPT plugin, Newegg is revolutionizing the way people shop for PC components. This innovative implementation of AI technology streamlines the process, enabling users to effortlessly create their dream desktops. With the ease and convenience offered by this plugin, Newegg continues to establish itself as an industry leader in the integration of AI for e-commerce.
