Pros and Cons of Developing Your Own ChatGPT Plugin

I've been running ChatGPT plugin in prod for a month and sharing my thoughts about the pros and cons of developing it. Would I build a new ChatGPT plugin? 

 

Data Filtering and Aggregation with Receipt Assistant Plugin for ChatGPT

I explain Receipt Assistant plugin for ChatGPT from a user perspective. I show how to fetch previously processed and saved receipt data, including filtering and aggregation. Also, I show how you can fix spelling mistakes for Lithuanian language receipt items. At the end, numeric data is visualized with WizeCharts plugin for ChaGPT. 

 

Computer Vision with ChatGPT - Receipt Assistant Plugin

Our plugin - Receipt Assistant was approved to be included in ChatGPT store. I explain how it works and how to use it in combination with other plugins, for example, to display charts. Receipt Assistant provides vision and storage option for ChatGPT. It is primarily tuned to work with receipts, but it can handle any structured info of medium complexity. 

 

ChatGPT Plugin OAuth with Logto

You can setup OAuth for ChatGPT plugin, to be able to get user info. This is needed when the plugin works with user data, and you want to keep that data across sessions. With OAuth you can authenticate users. I explain how to setup it with Logto. Logto is an Auth0 alternative for building modern customer identity infrastructure with minimal effort, for both your customers and their organizations. 

 

ChatGPT Plugin Backend with FastAPI

This tutorial explains how to integrate FastAPI backend with ChatGPT plugin implemented in Python. Backend stores data from ChatGPT in MongoDB to be persistent and available across sessions. 

 

ChatGPT Plugin with Persistent Storage

Receipt Assistant is our ChatGPT plugin with persistent storage support. I show how it works to upload a scanned receipt and store OCR result converted to key/value pairs by ChatGPT. Load data back into ChatGPT, review it, and produce insights. In my future videos, I explain how it works from a technical point of view.

 

File Upload App for ChatGPT

ChatGPT doesn't provide a file upload option out of the box. I explained the app I built with Streamlit to handle file upload and allow ChatGPT to fetch file content through the plugin and unique key. 

 

ChatGPT/GPT-4 for Receipt OCR Data Analysis

I show how ChatGPT works with array data generated from OCR engine by extracting text from the receipt document. ChatGPT can parse and understand the data. What is great about it - GPT-4 model automatically maps key/value pairs without any additional metadata. For example, it matches the receipt item and item price. I'm using PaddleOCR to construct OCR input for ChatGPT. 

 

How I'm Using ChatGPT/GPT-4 as a Solo Python Developer

I'm working as a solo Python developer and using ChatGPT to speed up the development process. In this video, I explain how ChatGPT is helping me with various tasks, from code explanation to suggesting solutions.
