Building a ChatGPT Plugin for Lex Fridman Podcasts

From the creator

I built a Lex Fridman podcast search plugin for ChatGPT. Here's how I did it. Using the plugin, we can ask OpenAI's ChatGPT any question about the content of Lex Fridman podcasts and get accurate answers than even cite the podcast episodes so that we can go in and check the original source of information. The Ask Lex plugin is based on the chatgpt-retrieval-plugin template from OpenAI. 🔗 Links: Ask Lex Plugin: https://github.com/jamescalam/ask-lex-plugin Upserts notebook: https://github.com/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/learn/generation/openai/chatgpt/plugins/ask-lex/ask-lex-indexer.ipynb 26:32 ChatGPT Plugins video: https://youtu.be/hpePPqKxNq8 27:21 ChatGPT Plugins waitlist: https://openai.com/waitlist/plugins 🎙️ Support me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/JamesBriggs 🎨 AI Art: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/IntelligentArtEU 🤖 70% Discount on the NLP With Transformers in Python course: https://bit.ly/3DFvvY5 🎉 Subscribe for Article and Video Updates! https://jamescalam.medium.com/subscribe https://medium.com/@jamescalam/membership 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 00:00 ChatGPT plugins for YouTube videos 00:19 Ask Lex ChatGPT Plugin so far 03:56 How ChatGPT is searching the podcast 06:58 How the Ask Lex ChatGPT plugin works 15:58 Finding the plugin code 16:40 Instructions for ChatGPT plugin 19:15 Creating and indexing the podcast transcripts 21:32 Hosting the API on DigitalOcean 22:33 Installing the plugin in ChatGPT 23:41 Having a conversation with "Ask Lex" 25:54 Final notes on ChatGPT plugins

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
