New Feature / Update: ChatGPT’s Browser and Code Interpreter
What is it?
Just a tick under the last month, OpenAI announced two significant features for ChatGPT that make this clever assistant all the more helpful. First up, the browser function allows ChatGPT to pull in fresh data from the internet instead of just relying on its built-in knowledge, which only goes up until September 2021. Second, there’s the code interpreter (or advanced data analysis, as they call it) that enables users to run complex calculations and solve problems right there in the chat.
Why does it matter?
Now, you might be wondering why this is important, especially when your workday is already chock-full of emails and meetings. Picture this: a marketer sitting at their desk, developing a campaign based on the latest trends. With the new browser feature, they can ask ChatGPT to find the latest news articles about consumer behaviour or emerging social media platforms—all without leaving their chat interface. Likewise, a developer can use the code interpreter to debug snippets of code on-the-fly, rather than toggling between applications and getting lost in the maze of tabs. How’s that for a time-saver?
In short, these updates make ChatGPT a more versatile tool in your digital arsenal—perfect for anyone looking to smarten up their workflows and add a bit of finesse to their tasks. Just like a comfy chair and a warm cup of tea, it brings ease into the hustle and bustle of modern life.
