10 ChatGPT Plugins to Keep You Ahead of the Trend

India has always been amongst the world's leaders in adopting evolving technologies. Artificial intelligence and ChatGPT are no different. India accounts for 15.7 percent of ChatGPT users globally [1].

You can ask ChatGPT to help you brainstorm ideas for academic papers, write social media posts, summarise books, review grammar, or write computer code, among its many tasks. Since its launch in late 2022, ChatGPT India’s users can query ChatGPT with various questions that can help them find answers for professional, personal, or educational use, depending on their needs.

The site’s advantages include the ability to efficiently execute a task, improve the quality of content, enhance productivity, or handle multiple queries at once. ChatGPT plugins may help streamline your tasks and help you enjoy an improved experience. Let’s explore ChatGPT and its plugins to understand the potential better. 

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a popular form of generative artificial intelligence (AI) that allows you to make queries and get answers in a conversational form. OpenAI created ChatGPT and launched it online in India in November 2022. The company followed that up with the launch of ChatGPT Plus in February 2023 to enhance users' experience who decide to upgrade their access for a fee of $20 a month, or roughly ₹1,670 [1].

Why use ChatGPT plugins?

You can use ChatGPT plugins to connect your favourite third-party services with the power of ChatGPT’s AI. Additionally, doing so enables you to get more from your ChatGPT experience. For example, users who upgrade their ChatGPT plans to access ChatGPT Plus can unlock the site’s upgraded GPT-4. Features in GPT-4 include using ChatGPT plugins to enhance your experience even more and earn focused answers that are more specific to your needs. For example, you can install and enable plugins to help you see a summary of different reviews for a product you’re interested in buying. You can also use it to find other flight and hotel accommodations for your next vacation.
