Free extension for ubiquitous AI inputs.

ChatGPT is a Chrome extension that enables users to add the ChatGPT AI bot by OPENAI to any text box on the Google Chrome browser. With this tool, users can type queries for ChatGPT and view answers instantly without leaving the page they are on.

The CHATGPT browser extension is similar to the Spotify Chrome extension, as it produces search results instantly on Chrome. Using Travis Fischer’s Node.js wrapper to circumvent OPENAI’s Cloudfare protection, this Chrome extension makes quick work of queries with its built-in Ask ChatGPT right-click menu option.

What is the ChatGPT extension?

ChatGPT is software that adds the functionality of OPENAI’s ChatGPT bot to Google Chrome. After installing the repository, getting a token, and adding the extension to the browser, users can carry out conversations with the chatbot from any text box on any page. Plugins can be used to adjust its behavior and expand functionality.

What can ChatGPT do?

Aside from being able to carry out interesting conversations with ChatGPT, one of the most advanced chatbots out there, this extension can also be used to write tweets, proofread, go over emails, fix coding bugs, and add Lexica images. With plugins of their own, users can add to the tool’s list of features on the go and customize its behavior.

Additional features for premium users

Users who are subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, the premium version which uses GPT-4 instead of GPT-3, gain access to new and experimental features ahead of everyone else. This includes the web-browsing feature that allows the AI to use more up-to-date information. Prior to that feature’s roll-out, the tool was only able to utilize data published before 2021, hence it’s not capable of answering questions about current events.

Besides that, premium users also get access to over 70 third-party plug-ins for a number of websites. Some of these include Expedia, Instacart, OpenTable, and more. These plug-ins enable the AI to make recommendations or answer questions based on the user’s query as well as the information present on the website. In sum, it decreases the need for a person to scan through web pages manually. Instead, they can just pop a question into the tool and get the answers they need, pronto.

Accessibility on mobile devices

The introduction of ChatGPT on mobile devices represents a significant step in OpenAI’s mission to make artificial intelligence accessible to everyone, whether in personal or professional settings. Now, individuals can take advantage of the advanced capabilities of this state-of-the-art language model while on the go. This achievement also underscores the developers’ commitment to ensuring user engagement that is aligned with people’s lifestyles and needs.

On a broader spectrum, industries spanning from customer support and content creation to education and research can readily harness the enormous potential provided by this program on mobile devices. This empowers collaborative efforts, irrespective of geographical limitations. Moreover, the ubiquity of mobile devices combined with the accessibility of this software amplifies productivity across various fields that involve generating ideas and implementing processes.

Must-have extension

As the ChatGPT bot gains popularity, users are bound to come up with new and exciting features through free Chrome extensions. However, ChatGPT is a language model with limitations that can extend to any browser, including algorithmic bias and finite resources. It’s also unlikely to stay free for long, making this extension a must-have for tech enthusiasts.
