Security News > 2023 > November > OpenAI confirms it's not killing off ChatGPT plugins for now
During its inaugural developer conference, OpenAI unveiled GPTs, short for Generative Pre-trained Transformers.
In a recent blog post, OpenAI shed light on the ability to extend the built-in features of GPTs by incorporating custom actions through API integration.
These actions empower GPTs to amalgamate external data or interface with the tangible world.
While the present support for ChatGPT plugins continues, the mention of ChatGPT's plugins' future has an air of uncertainty.
Logan from Developer Relations at OpenAI hinted on X that the long-term vision includes transitioning plugins into the realm of GPT actions.
Logan advised developers that they will be able to take existing plugins and convert them into actions within their personalized GPTs. This move signifies a clear direction towards seamless integration and flexibility, though it suggests that the current form of ChatGPT plugins might evolve or be phased out in future iterations.
