Newegg, the global online retailer for PC hardware and consumer electronics, has launched a PC Builder Plugin for users of GPT-4, OpenAI’s latest language model. The plugin, available for both the GPT-4 mobile and desktop platforms, allows GPT-4 users to customize their dream desktop PC by compiling their preferred components.
With Newegg’s PC Builder plugin, GPT-4 users can enter details such as component preferences, performance requirements, PC usage, and budget for their desired future PC build. GPT-4 will then generate a list of recommended PC components, including the name, price, image, and link for each one. Once the components have been assembled, users can find their PC Builder list on Newegg.com for additional customization and checkout.
The PC Builder Plugin is exclusive to ChatGPT Plus subscribers for GPT-4 and is available in the plugin store. ChatGPT Plus, a paid subscription plan, provides users with access to GPT-4 and additional AI benefits. It was launched earlier this year by OpenAI as an enhanced version of the free ChatGPT option, which utilizes GPT-3.5.
Lucy Huo, Vice President of Application Development for Newegg, highlighted the company’s commitment to integrating AI into its services: As a leader in implementing AI for e-commerce, Newegg continues to integrate AI into our services, including new entry points for users. We saw a great opportunity to create a ChatGPT plugin to enable subscribers to assemble parts for their dream machine directly within the GPT-4 platform.
Newegg aims to enhance the user experience by leveraging AI technology. The company’s developers are heavily invested in AI-related projects to improve the platforms and offer new AI-driven shopping experiences. Newegg also sees potential in utilizing AI platforms outside of its own to connect with users across different platforms and channels.
For GPT-4 users without ChatGPT Plus, the PC Builder is available on Newegg.com and the Newegg app, also powered by ChatGPT. This allows a wider range of users to access the PC Builder tool and build their dream desktop computers.
Newegg Commerce, Inc., founded in 2001, is based in the City of Industry, California. The company serves as a one-stop shop for PC hardware, consumer electronics, gaming peripherals, home appliances, automotive products, and lifestyle technology. Additionally, Newegg provides e-commerce solutions for businesses, including marketing, supply chain, and technical support.
The launch of the PC Builder Plugin demonstrates Newegg’s commitment to leveraging AI technology to enhance the online shopping experience for its customers. By integrating AI into their services, Newegg aims to provide more personalized and tailored solutions for users looking to build their ideal desktop PCs.
