INSIGHTS
Boost Your Productivity: Weekly Generative AI Insights for Work
The AI community is abuzz with the recent introduction of ChatGPT Plugins, which offer new capabilities such as internet access, complex math, grocery ordering, and Zapier integration.
Unfortunately, access is still highly limited. You can request access here.
Since we don't have access yet, our understanding is based on the ChatGPT Plugins docs and a hacked list of plugins. It seems that ChatGPT aims to establish an entire app store filled with plugins, connecting GPT-4 to the internet and a wide array of services.
Here are some insights to consider for your business:
Insight #1: Explore Creating a ChatGPT Plugin
What if, in the near future, ChatGPT plugins become more important than SEO? The quality of your ChatGPT plugin could determine whether it's automatically recommended by OpenAI or not. Consider the type of plugin you'd develop, how you can start building it now, and ways to promote and integrate it into your existing business.
Insight #2: Strategize on Educating Your Team
Invest in upskilling and reskilling initiatives to prepare your workforce for a future where they'll collaborate with AI tools effectively. ChatGPT plugins like Zapier will unlock new possibilities. Envision AI handling emails, booking meetings, scheduling trips, creating proposals, and more, and the immense impact it could have on your business.
Insight #3: Identify New Services to Offer
Plugins will enable entirely new services. New plugins could allow you to take on 3-10 times more contract jobs or expand your business offerings. Think about what is possible now that wasn't possible before.
ChatGPT Plugin Resources
As ChatGPT Plugins become more widely available, we plan to use them in our business and share what we learn. In the meantime, here are some helpful resources for understanding ChatGPT Plugins:

A member of our community, Kris Kashtanova, demonstrated how to generate personalized variations of the widely-circulated Midjourney-generated Pope Francis photo, which many initially believed to be authentic.
You probably saw on the news A.I. generations of Pope Francis wearing a white cozy jacket. I’d love to see your generations inspired by it.
Here’s a prompt by the original creator Guerrero Art (Pablo Xavier):

FEATURED TOOL
The Most Useful Generative AI Tool We Discovered This Week
LangChain is a tool that helps you create applications using language models, like AI systems that can understand and generate text. It allows these language models to connect with other data sources and interact with their surroundings.
Here's a breakdown of what LangChain offers:
Prompts: Helps you manage and optimize questions or instructions you give to the language model.
LLMs: Provides a way to work with different language models.
Indexes: Helps you organize your text data so the language model can use it effectively.
Memory: Allows the language model to remember information between different tasks or questions.
Chains: Connects multiple tasks or steps together for more complex applications.
Agents: Lets the language model make decisions, take actions, and learn from the results.
LangChain also provides helpful guides, examples, and resources for building your application, troubleshooting, and deploying it for real-world use. Additionally, there's a community where you can share and discover prompts, chains, and agents created by others.
