| # Plugins Endpoint | |
|  | |
| The plugins endpoint opens the door to prompting LLMs in new ways other than traditional input/output prompting. | |
| The first step is using chain-of-thought prompting & ["agency"](https://zapier.com/blog/ai-agent/) for using plugins/tools in a fashion mimicing the official ChatGPT Plugins feature. | |
| More than this, you can use this endpoint for changing your conversation settings mid-conversation. Unlike the official ChatGPT site and all other endpoints, you can switch models, presets, and settings mid-convo, even when you have no plugins selected. This is useful if you first want a creative response from GPT-4, and then a deterministic, lower cost response from GPT-3. Soon, you will be able to use PaLM2 and HuggingFace models, all in this endpoint in the same modular manner. | |
| ### Roadmap: | |
| - More plugins and advanced plugin usage (ongoing) | |
| - **[ChatGPT Plugins/OpenAPI Specs (complete)](./chatgpt_plugins_openapi.md)** | |
| - More LLMs to choose from for both Thinking and Completion Phases | |
| - Alternative prompting methods such as Tree-of-Thought | |
| ## Using Plugins | |
| The LLM process when using Plugins is illustrated below. | |
|  | |
| **When you open the settings with the Plugins endpoint selected, you will view the default settings for the Completion Phase.** | |
| Clicking on **"Show Agent Settings"** will allow you to modify parameters for the thinking phase | |
|  | |
| --- | |
|  | |
| - You can specify which plugins you would like to select from by installing/uninstalling them in the Plugin store | |
| - See this guide on how to create your own plugins (WIP) | |
| - For use of actual **ChatGPT Plugins** (OpenAPI specs), both community-made and official versions, [read here.](./chatgpt_plugins_openapi.md) | |
| ### Notes | |
| - Every additional plugin selected will increase your token usage as there are detailed instructions the LLM needs for each one | |
| - For best use, be selective with plugins per message and narrow your requests as much as possible | |
| - If you need help coming up with a good plugin prompt, ask the LLM for suggestions before using one! | |
| - Chain-of-thought prompting (plugin use) will always be more expensive than regular input/output prompting, so be sure it meets your need. | |
| - Currently, the cheapest use will be to use gpt-3.5 for both phases | |
| - From my testing, the best "bang for your buck" will be to use gpt-3.5 for the thinking phase, and gpt-4 for completion. | |
| - Adding to above, if you ask for a poem and an image at the same time, it may work, but both may suffer in quality | |
| - Instead, ask for a poem first with creative settings | |
| - Then, ask for a good prompt for Stable Diffusion based on the poem | |
| - Finally, use the Stable Diffusion plugin by referencing the pre-generated prompt | |
| - Presets are only available when no Plugins are selected as the final review of the thinking phase has a specific system message. | |
| - ⚠️ The **Browser/Scraper, Serpapi, and Zapier NLA plugins** are official langchain integrations and don't work the best. Improvements to them will be made | |
| ### Plugins Setup Instructions | |
| - **[Google Search](./google_search.md)** | |
| - **[Stable Diffusion](./stable_diffusion.md)** | |
| - **[Wolfram](./wolfram.md)** | |
| - **DALL-E** - same setup as above, you just need an OpenAI key, and it's made distinct from your main API key to make Chats but it can be the same one | |
| - **Zapier** - You need a Zapier account. Get your [API key from here](https://nla.zapier.com/credentials/) after you've made an account | |
| - Create allowed actions - Follow step 3 in this [getting start guide](https://nla.zapier.com/start/) from Zapier | |
| - ⚠️ NOTE: zapier is known to be finicky with certain actions. I found that writing email drafts is probably the best use of it | |
| - there are improvements that can be made to override the official NLA integration and that is TBD | |
| - **Browser/Scraper** - This is not to be confused with 'browsing' on chat.openai.com (which is technically a plugin suite or multiple plugins) | |
| - This plugin uses OpenAI embeddings so an OpenAI key is necessary, similar to DALL-E, and it's made distinct from your main API key to make Chats but it can be the same one | |
| - This plugin will simply scrape html, and will not work with dynamic Javascript pages as that would require a more involved solution | |
| - A better solution for 'browsing' is planned but can't guarantuee when | |
| - This plugin is best used in combination with google so it doesn't hallucinate webpages to visit | |
| - **Serpapi** - an alternative to Google search but not as performant in my opinion | |
| - You can get an API key here: https://serpapi.com/dashboard | |
| - For free tier, you are limited to 100 queries/month | |
| - With google, you are limited to 100/day for free, which is a better deal, and any after may cost you a few pennies | |
