Browsing by Open AI is an innovative enhancement to ChatGPT, integrating third-party tools and services to expand its functionality. This AI tool allows ChatGPT to access real-time information, perform computations, and utilize various external services through its plugin architecture. The plugins are designed with safety as a priority, ensuring a secure interaction while leveraging the capabilities of language models.

Currently, the tool is being gradually rolled out to a limited user base, with developers able to create their own plugins using the provided documentation. Presently, ChatGPT features two main plugins: a web browser and a code interpreter. The gradual deployment aims to study real-world usability and safety challenges, fostering a community that will help shape the future of human-AI interactions.
