Got to take the main stage at OpenAI DevDay to talk about plugin extensions!

A few takeaways for developers building plugins:

1. Make your plugin part of how people work.
Plugin extensions let you build apps that open from ChatGPT’s sidebar, side panel, custom file viewers and editors, and settings for your plugin. Full spec here:

2. Put care into what happens after installation.
You can provide a custom onboarding skill to guide people through setup and help them learn what your plugin can do. Use that first experience to help someone accomplish something useful and give them a reason to come back.

3. Make it easier to get started.
Plugins can support Sign in with ChatGPT so people can connect using their existing ChatGPT account. A smoother sign-in experience can help more people get through setup and start using what you’ve built.

@vigyso wrote a great walkthrough of Sign in with ChatGPT for developers who want to learn more:

Here are some of the folks behind the platform: @mxstbr , @ShopifyVC , @tarstarr , and @glencoates . We’re listening to your feedback and excited to support more of the open ecosystem.

Hope these help you get building. I’d love to see what you make!

@kudochien @mxstbr @expo sending you a dm, send me your plugin submission ID

For AGI to benefit all of humanity, it should help people with the everyday tasks that matter most to them. So we built LifeVal, a new benchmark shaped by feedback from thousands of ChatGPT users on where they most want help from a personal assistant—from finding childcare to accessing government services to managing personal finances.

Over the past year, we’ve used LifeVal to measure and improve how well our models handle these everyday tasks.

ETA for plugin submissions dropped today

[martin @Foamyseal]

no more wondering when your @ChatGPT plugin review will finish! each submission now shows its own ETA.

[corey.ching @coreyching]

@aditabrm @reductoai Congrats @reductoai @aditabrm 👏🏼

[ChatGPT @ChatGPT]

By popular request, you can now text your dot.

Give it a task to take off your plate or something to keep an eye on, using text, photos, or even voice notes. It will text you proactively with relevant updates.

Safe, secure texting via iMessage or RCS. You’re the only one who can text your dot, and your dot can only text you. Rolling out now as a preview for Pro users in the US.

@capcutapp @ChatGPT Congrats @capcutapp on the new plugin. Looks great!

@amorriscode Congrats on the milestone @amorriscode! 🫡

Just wrapped up DevDay Exchange in Tokyo and led a Q&A panel with @barnali_c & @saitonian

A lot of developers came up after and asked questions and shared what they’re building in Japan.

Some insights / great feedback:

- People are excited about plugin suggestions! On ranking, our team can consider plugins that are popular during specific seasons (e.g. tax filing plugin) cc: @vibhor_chhabra @mxstbr
- enterprises have strict policies and permissive use of plugins that limit use of them at work. But I shared devs can build private plugins for just your team or workspace! That excited devs. We’ll work to make this more obvious for builders
- People love dots! Devs wanted more insight into what reasoning levels were being used on different tasks. something to consider: @TheRohanVarma
- chatgpt spaces had a lot of positive sentiment - devs were curious if we could open extension points on that surface cc: @tarstarr
- @wonforall and I shared that a good best practice for improved recognition on pdfs/images is to do a quick pre clean before sending it to our image models for best accuracy. over time we will work to make these better
