How to create efficient ChatGPT plugins on Blobr?

Some details on how to create and share your ChatGPT plugins.

TL;DR: 
Plugins help ChatGPT access up-to-date information to give the most appropriate answers to your questions. You can easily create your ChatGPT plugins by flagging them when creating your API Products on Blobr.
ChatGPT Plugins unlock a vast range of possible use cases. By adding a plugin to ChatGPT, the model is instructed about how to use the data you've allowed the model to use. 
How to create your ChatGPT plugin on Blobr? 
Connect your API and make sure you do that by adding an enriched Open API file. As Chat GPT will scan your Open API file to understand how to perform actions and give you the most appropriate answers it can. The richer your API file, the better.

When your API Product has been created, make sure you stay on the API Product edition page and add a tagline to your API Product. To do this, click on "Edit" on the Preview section. 
Fill in the field called "Tagline". The tagline will both be used in the manifest for the fields called "description for human" and "description for model". It should be a description tailored to the model, that gives insights about what the plugin does.

What other tips to follow to create the best plugins? 
Reduce response payload size
Trim down the size of the API responses to include the most relevant and necessary information. That will ensure your plugin works within the context of ChatGPT and delivers faster responses.
Optimize API query parameters
Use the most efficient query parameters in your API to reduce the amount of data being processed and returned. This can help improve the performance of your plugin and reduce the likelihood of reaching rate limits. 
Test several descriptions and instructions
Find the most effective way for the LLM to understand and use your plugin. 
Maintain and iterate on your plugin
Work on improving the descriptions in your OpenAPI specs. The specs will be used by ChatGPT to interact with your plugin. Monitor your plugin's performance and feedback to identify issues and areas of improvements. Keep your Open API file up-to-date so that it keeps providing your teams or your end users value.
