AI overview

OpenAI Developers announced plugin extensions that let developers build more interactive ChatGPT plugins, which can be launched from the sidebar, respond to @ mentions, and include file viewers.

The announcement, posted on X by OpenAI's developer account, promotes the features and points to a walkthrough with developer @coreyching.

A later first-party OpenAI YouTube video, titled "Build Plugins for ChatGPT: Developer Guide to Custom Interfaces Beside Conversations," describes how a custom interface can run beside a conversation and bring selected context into a user's work with ChatGPT. Both sources are OpenAI's own promotional material, so they describe the intended features but do not independently show how well they work or how widely they are adopted.
