OpenAI has recently upgraded ChatGPT with new plugins, expanding its capabilities for Plus subscribers. With over 70 plugins available, the potential for ChatGPT-4 is vast, although some plugins are still in beta and may not perform as expected. Among these plugins, the “Scraper” stands out for its ability to extract information from any website URL provided. This tool simulates web scraping without directly interacting with real websites, making it a valuable resource for summarizing news articles or monitoring trends on platforms like Reddit.
On the other hand, the “I Am Rich” plugin may seem frivolous, offering only an image generation feature reminiscent of a pricey iPhone app from 2008. Despite its limited function, it delivers on its promise without any cost, earning a nod for fulfilling its purpose. Additionally, the “Playlist AI” plugin leverages AI technology to create personalized playlists based on user preferences. While it may prompt a subscription after a certain number of uses, the initial free service showcases its potential in crafting curated playlists.
Lastly, for those in search of a new home, ChatGPT offers various real estate plugins to aid in the apartment or house hunting process. Whether using Zillow, Zumper, or Rentable Apartments, these plugins can assist in finding suitable listings within specified parameters. Each plugin has its own strengths, such as detailed descriptions or visual aids, making them valuable tools for navigating the real estate market.

Just like PlaylistAI, the beauty of these plugins is that their usefulness comes from their foundational helpfulness. Basically, the Zillow plugin won’t rent out a house for you, but it will give you a list to start from, which can save a lot of time when starting your apartment/house-hunting journey.
Tic Tac Toe
Okay, maybe apartment hunting is too stressful for you right now (it is for me), how about a game? One of the more interesting additions from ChatGPT plugins is the ability for users to play games with AI. As of now, there are only three games being offered. Two of them are word-guessing games that task you with figuring out the word the AI gives clues for, and the other is Tic Tac Toe — pretty self-explanatory.
The way it works with ChatGPT is that the AI will create a visual board display from 1-9 with the ‘X’ and ‘O’ placed on whichever number the user inputs. There are three difficulty settings and the default board size is 3×3. The plugin does offer 4×4, 5×5, and 6×6 board sizes as well. The board is updated each time you and the AI make a move.

Having played a couple of rounds, the game is surprisingly fun and works as intended. And while it doesn’t provide any functional benefit other than preoccupying yourself for a couple of minutes, it shows just how far this little chatbot has come since its debut last October. These AIs sure grow up fast, don’t they?
