OpenAI is massively expanding ChatGPT’s capabilities to let it browse
the web and more
ChatGPT now supports plug-ins that let the chatbot tap new sources of
information, including the web and third-party sites like Expedia and

Up until now, ChatGPT has been limited by the fact it can only pull
information from its training data, which ends in 2021. OpenAI says
plug-ins will not only allow the bot to browse the web but also
interact with specific websites, potentially turning the system into a
wide-ranging interface for all sorts of services and sites.

OpenAI’s plug-in doesn’t just retrieve real-time information. It can
also tie into APIs, letting it “perform actions on behalf of the
user,” according to the company’s documentation.
