“One more thing…”
With those words, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, took the stage at OpenAI DevDay and unleashed the incredible new capabilities of ChatGPT (OpenAI). It was a moment that harkened back to the iconic product launches of Steve Jobs, filled with anticipation and excitement.
Altman didn’t disappoint. OpenAI has already made significant strides in recent months, introducing the Code Interpreter, now known as Advanced Data Analysis, which allows ChatGPT to analyze and refine data files with ease. Tasks that used to take days or weeks can now be accomplished in mere moments. And the integration of DALL-E has revolutionized AI graphic creation, solving the age-old problem of accurate text within graphics.
But Altman had something even more groundbreaking up his sleeve.
GPT Builder: Unleashing the Power of ChatGPT (OpenAI)
Altman unveiled the GPT Builder, a feature that allows external creators to develop plug-ins for ChatGPT. These plug-ins, called “GPTs,” can be designed for specific tasks and either used privately or marketed in a new app store under a revenue-sharing model. It’s a game-changer that opens up a world of possibilities for developers and users alike.
And then came the moment we were all waiting for…
One More Thing…
Altman may not have the same showmanship as Steve Jobs, but he certainly knows how to captivate an audience. With flawless live demos on a large screen, Altman showcased the new features of ChatGPT in real-time.
He even demonstrated how GPTs can integrate with existing platforms and software like Code.org, Canva, and Zapier. The integration with Zapier, in particular, stood out. Zapier is a leading tool for AI automation, connected to over 6,000 applications. Altman showed how ChatGPT can seamlessly work with Zapier, opening up a world of possibilities for automation.
But that wasn’t all. Altman also introduced a custom GPT that he created with ChatGPT’s assistance. In just minutes, he drafted an outline for a new app called “Startup Mentor,” based on his own experiences. By uploading transcripts of his past speeches, ChatGPT crafted a comprehensive and deployable app that offers guidance to startups. It’s an incredible example of the power of ChatGPT.
API Assistance: Empowering Developers
Altman didn’t stop there. He demonstrated how developers can design and integrate their apps with ChatGPT’s API using the new API Assistant. This tool automates processes that used to take weeks of coding and testing, allowing developers to produce a complete stateful API with enduring threads and built-in retrieval.
The API Assistant seamlessly integrates with the Code Interpreter, giving developers the ability to script and invoke functions in ChatGPT. This sets it apart from other models and opens up a world of possibilities for developers.
Altman showcased a travel app he created that interfaced with ChatGPT’s API. When he uploaded a PDF of a ticket to Paris, the app sourced a map of Paris from the internet and seamlessly integrated it. And when Altman asked ChatGPT for sightseeing recommendations, it not only retrieved information but also generated code to update the map with site locations. It’s AI-powered magic at its finest.
Superpowers on Demand: The Future of ChatGPT
In his closing remarks, Altman left the audience inspired and hungry for more. He declared, “We want you all to have superpowers on demand.” It was a powerful message that resonated with everyone in the room and those watching virtually.
Altman set the stage for the future, promising that what they launched that day would seem quaint in comparison to what’s to come. It’s an exciting time to be part of the OpenAI community, and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next year.
