OpenAI has recently rolled out the best ChatGPT plugins that will take your AI experience to a whole new level. We're sharing 10 of the best ChatGPT plugins from a huge new range of incredible tools to explore.


There's a caveat though. These plugins are currently being rolled out (May 2023) so not everyone may have access to them just yet. Don't worry though, as they'll be available to more users on the ChatGPT Plus Plan soon.


1. Prompt Perfect

First on the list is the Prompt Perfect plugin.


This extension facilitates creating immaculate prompts for the AI chatbot.


Users can enter a simple prompt, which is then elaborated behind the scenes by the plugin, making it more detailed and thus guiding ChatGPT to generate more precise and informative responses.


2. OpenTable

Restaurant reservations become a breeze with the OpenTable plugin.


It effortlessly integrates with ChatGPT, enabling users to make restaurant bookings with minimal input - date, time, location, and the number of people. The plugin does the rest, finding suitable restaurants and even pre-filling reservation details for added convenience.


3. Wolfram

The Wolfram plugin extends ChatGPT's capabilities by bringing advanced computation, real-time data, and math assistance to your fingertips.


This plugin allows users to tackle more complex queries beyond basic math problems, such as creating genealogical trees, illustrating anatomy, and even fetching real-time dates and times.


4. Zapier

For the professional user seeking to streamline workflows, the Zapier plugin is an excellent choice.


This powerful tool connects with over 5,000 work apps including mainstream platforms like Gmail, MS Outlook, and Slack. With a one-time setup, you can draft emails or send detailed Slack messages directly from ChatGPT.


5. Kayak

For travel planning, the Kayak plugin stands out. This tool enables users to book flights and hotels, and get travel recommendations.


All it needs is the basic information - origin, destination, arrival, and departure time - and Kayak presents a variety of travel options right within the ChatGPT interface.


6. Instacart

When it comes to culinary endeavors, the Instacart plugin shines.


Not only can it generate detailed food and drink recipes, but it also provides an option to buy ingredients in real-time through its main service page. It's like having a personal shopping assistant at your disposal.


7. MixerBox OnePlayer

The MixerBox OnePlayer plugin takes care of your music needs.


Based on user preferences, this plugin can compile songs and generate playlists. Direct links to songs are provided, leading to YouTube videos for hassle-free listening.


8. Show Me

For users requiring visual representations, the Show Me plugin is a game-changer.


This tool allows ChatGPT to create real-time diagrams of almost all types, based on the user's basic concept. From mind maps to flowcharts, visualizing concepts becomes simple and intuitive.


9. World News

The World News plugin is a valuable tool to stay updated with the latest global happenings. Users can ask for the latest news, and the plugin provides a neatly organized list of the top stories from around the world, even offering source links for detailed reading.

How to Install ChatGPT Plugins


ChatGPT plugins allow you to enhance the capabilities of your AI assistant, enabling it to perform a wide variety of tasks and provide a richer conversational experience. However, to install these plugins, a ChatGPT Plus subscription is necessary, as they are not accessible with the basic version.


Access to the plugins is being rolled out from May 2023 - some accounts may not have access to this feature yet.


Check out this super helpful tutorial How to Access and Use ChatGPT Plugins from Howfinity or follow the steps below.



Step-by-step instructions to install a ChatGPT plugin


Step 1: Open ChatGPT

  • Launch the ChatGPT application or access the web interface.

Step 2: Access Settings

  • Locate the "Settings" option in the bottom left corner of the interface. In the dropdown menu, select "Beta Features".

Step 3: Enable Plugins Setting

  • In the Beta Features section, find the "Plugins" setting. Toggle this setting to enable it. This will allow you to access the Plugin Store and use plugins with ChatGPT.

Step 4: Start a New Chat

  • Return to the main interface and select "New Chat".

Step 5: Switch the ChatGPT Model

  • When starting a new chat, ensure that the ChatGPT model is switched to GPT-4. The ability to use plugins may not be available in other models.

Step 6: Access the Plugin Store

  • Now, from the dropdown menu within the chat, select "Plugins". This should reveal another option, "Plugin Store". Click on it to open the store where you can browse through various available plugins.

Step 7: Install Your Chosen Plugin

  • Scroll through the Plugin Store and select the plugin you wish to install. Click on it, and the installation process should initiate. This should only take a few moments.


To uninstall a plugin, simply navigate back to it in the Plugin Store and select it again.

Currently, there are some limitations with the Plugin Store's user interface.


For instance, there's no "All Plugins" list for easy unsubscription, nor a way to sort the plugins. While the search functionality is planned for a future update, having to scroll through each page to find a particular plugin can be a little tedious.


Regardless, once a plugin is installed, you'll be able to take advantage of its specific features and functionalities, providing a richer and more tailored user experience with ChatGPT.
