Chat GPT plugins have arrived, and they’re here to turbocharge your productivity! They tackle specific problems, and if you’ve got a bunch of these issues, they’ll multiply your efficiency. But let’s be honest, they’re not exactly intuitive. That’s why today, I’ll be showing you an approach that’ll get you results ASAP. Let’s unlock these hidden superpowers in Chat GPT together!
Chat GPT Plus Access
First, on accessing the plugins: Once you’re inside Chat GPT and have paid for the Plus plan, go to settings, then beta features, and enable plugins. The web browsing and code interpreter are rolling out this week, so if you don’t see this exact screen, just give it a few more days.
Once enabled, switch over to GPT-4, and in the dropdown, pick plugins. Now you’ll find a brand new dropdown underneath the model selection, where you can choose your plugins. You’ll find a plugin store where you can install these bad boys. If you head to “most popular,” you’ll see I’ve got all of these installed already. If you check out the “new” section, you can find the latest additions.
When you’ve got them installed and see that green checkmark, you’re all set. But here’s the issue: it’s not very intuitive. For example, if I want to use the Wolfram plugin and I’m not familiar with it, all I get is a tiny text description. So, how can we make the most out of these plugins?
Fear not! I’ve got a prompt that’ll change everything. It’ll help you get acquainted with the plugin’s full capabilities. The prompt is:
CHAT GPT Prompt For Plugin Details
“What can the [plugin name] plugin do? Output a table with every single available function and capability, a second column for a simple yet comprehensive explanation, and a third column with clear example prompts that show off the full capabilities of the plugin within GPT-4.”
Just replace [plugin name] with Wolfram, and you’re good to go. In the case of Wolfram, it doesn’t quite follow the prompt since it has too many functions, but it still works! You’ll get a comprehensive explanation of what it can do and how to put it to work.
For instance, Wolfram can do unit conversions, solve equations, do mathematical calculations, and so much more! All of this is outlined in your personalized tutorial created when you run the prompt. So, go ahead and dive into the world of Chat GPT plugins, and unleash your productivity like never before!
Alright, fair enough! But what do they mean by “interact”? Let’s dive in and explore. I’ll switch from Wolfram to Video Insights. Now, with the Video Insights plugin enabled and this nifty prompt asking for a table of functions, we get a full display of this plugin’s capabilities. Pretty cool, huh?
For example, I can retrieve the summary and metadata of a YouTube video just by using its video ID. This is something you can’t do with the browsing plugin, as it doesn’t allow access to transcripts on YouTube. But with this plugin, you’re all set! Just copy the example prompt, paste it in, customize it with your own video (like my latest one on Chat GPT and web browsing), and voila! You’ll get a detailed summary and analysis of the video’s metadata, complete with a link at the end.
Using YouTube Video Transcripts With Insights Plugin
Now, the amazing thing isn’t just that it can summarize a YouTube video – we’ve seen that before. The real magic is that, with two clicks, you can access those transcripts inside Chat and build on them. So go ahead, brainstorm ideas for future videos based on the context this video provides! The sky’s the limit!
And if you’re wondering about other platforms, don’t worry – there’s a function that retrieves full transcripts and metadata from non-YouTube video providers too. Just feed those videos into your conversation, and run your idea generation or campaign prompts with all that juicy context you’ve provided using plugins.
Now, let’s get back to Wolfram Alpha, because it’s a powerhouse that deserves more love. Here’s a hot tip: some of the best plugins are actually super powerful websites. If you’re not familiar with them, just head to their site, click on examples, and see all the things they can do for you. For instance, with Wolfram Alpha, you can get information about aircraft, like the F-14 Tomcat fighter, down to the name of the designer and its maximum weight. The possibilities are seemingly endless!
So, if I head to GPT-4 and ask who the designer of the F-14 Tomcat is, with the Wolfram plugin enabled, it should fetch the info from Wolfram and package it into a neat answer, even including a picture! It’s like unlocking a treasure trove of knowledge.
Under the hood, these plugins offer so much more than meets the eye. It’ll take some exploration from both you and me to uncover all the amazing possibilities with these plugins. But from what I can tell so far, Wolfram is one you’ll want to have on most of the time. It’s incredibly useful, especially when it comes to math, physics, engineering, or any technical subject. Trust me, it’s a blessing!
Alright, folks! Before we wrap up, I’ve got one more tip for you to get the most out of these plugins, especially when you’re just starting out. But first, let me remind you about my awesome Prompt Engineering course that I recently launched. In this community, we’ll be diving into each of these plugins, one by one, in live sessions. Trust me, this is the perfect chance for all of us to come together, explore the possibilities within GPT-4, and discover which plugins to combine for truly unique results.
Now, the course isn’t just about mastering prompts. It’ll teach you how to make them your own and get custom results, whether it’s for Bard, GPT-4, or any other language model that comes along. You’ll learn the art of communicating with these models to get the best results. And honestly, I hope our community becomes a place where we all grow and learn together.
So, if you’re serious about leveling up your skills and meeting like-minded people, check out the course in the description below. Now, let’s chat about that final tip I promised you, which, honestly, I initially overlooked.
Imagine you want to explore Physical Note. What’s it all about? What does it do? Start with the initial prompt I showed you, and you’ll get this incredible table that unveils the inner workings of the plugins. Now, let’s say you want to use a function to search for news articles related to Congressional people and proceedings. You can run the example prompt to find articles about recent healthcare bills in Congress.
Here’s where my final tip comes in: add “using Physical Note” at the beginning, so it knows that this instruction is meant for the Physical Note plugin. This allows you to add a second instruction for the second half of the prompt, like “using Wolfram, visualize the results in a graph analyzing the frequency of articles over time.” Wolfram can do so much more, but if you run this, it should be able to separate the functionalities of Physical Note and Wolfram, and perform these tasks separately.
Now, check this out! You’re using both Physical Note for up-to-date info and Wolfram for its graph-generating capabilities. And the best part? I’m just sitting here chatting with you while this magic happens! The result? It found five articles from Physical Note and created a graph showing that two of them happened recently, and three more in 2020. Sure, we could’ve been more specific with our requests, and a graph like this would make more sense with 20 to 30 data points. But we’re already combining the power of multiple plugins, and you know how to use and combine them now, thanks to this tutorial!
So go ahead, explore, and keep an eye out for other videos where I’ll dive deeper into these plugins. If you’re eager to learn more about specific plugins, join the list by clicking here and dropping your email!
