ChatGPT Plugins is OpenAI’s latest upgrade to their ChatGPT product with over 922 verified plugins. Each plugin offers authorization for ChatGPT to query their data or manipulate their own software.

Leading the Israeli startup ecosystem is Tomorrow.io, an AI-powered weather and climate platform, the first of the group to gain entry onto the GPTChat Plugins store. This milestone follows the launch of their first Generative AI tool in March, Gale. Gale, a premium feature available to select customers (when launched), is an interactive AI assistant that simplifies complex climate and weather data into a concise, visually engaging, and easily shareable format. Gale's capabilities include automatic filtering and prioritization of weather data based on variables such as location, severity, and frequency of weather events. This data is then synthesized into a summarizing outlook, providing users with shareable, business-centric insights.
Similarly, a considerable number of startups and corporations have beelined to integrate ChatGPT into their own offering, across many sectors, like business productivity or enhanced software development. However ChatGPT Plugins are operated on the ChatGPT web app.
