MediumGPT is an AI tool that leverages ChatGPT plugins to provide access to up-to-date content on the internet. These plugins enable platforms like Medium to expose their content to ChatGPT, overcoming the limitations of its training dataset and internet access. Currently in private alpha, Medium has been granted access to explore the possibilities of making their content retrievable by ChatGPT. The tool’s technical exploration, as detailed in the “Building a ChatGPT Plugin for Medium” article, explains how to construct a ChatGPT plugin using a well-known/ai-plugin.json file. This file contains essential information for ChatGPT to recognize plugin support, link appropriate descriptions, icons, and links to end-users during installation. Additionally, the article delves into the OpenAPI YAML file, which exposes the schema enabling ChatGPT to comprehend the API, and highlights the use of Go language to develop the MediumGPT service. By converting hardcoded GraphQL queries into REST APIs, MediumGPT demonstrates its functionality and showcases the technical aspects of building a ChatGPT plugin.
