Bing Chat AI now has access to plugins in addition to being able to use GPT-4 for free.

You can even disable web search to use it as ChatGPT.

I'll show you how to access and use the plugins:
1. Accessing plugins

Go to bing .com/chat

A new "Plugins" tab is available next to your conversation history.

Note:
This is currently being rolled out, but you may be able to access it later.

By clicking on it, you can scroll down to see all available plugins.

You can activate up to 3 at a time.

There are 6 at the moment:

- Instacart: get ingredients delivered to your store
- Kayak: plan a trip
- Klarna: compare prices online
- OpenTable: restaurant recommendations and reservations
- Shop: search for products
- Search: give the web access to Bing Chat

More to come (see below).
2. Use a plugin

Check the plugin(s) (up to 3) you're interested in.

Bing Chat will then be able to use it according to the prompt you write (like ChatGPT).

Example with the Klarna price comparison plugin:

Prompt → "Where to buy the cheapest white Nike Air Force?"

The plugin will give you websites to order from and the sizes available.
3. Enable / disable search

Until now, you couldn't use Bing Chat without web search.

Now you can disable it when it's not needed.

One advantage is that it makes Bing Chat faster at answering your questions.

Caution:

1. Dall-E 3 does not work when web search is disabled.

2. The recency of Bing Chat knowledge is limited to the GPT-4 one.
4. Future plugins

In May, Microsoft announced the arrival of plugins for Bing Chat.

Several others are already available in beta (Canary).

Canva, Adobe Express, Calendly or Wolfram could be added soon!

Here's the image that was published at the time of the announcement ↓ Image
Bing Chat now has many of the features of ChatGPT Plus :

- Web search
- Vision
- Voice
- Plugins
- GPT-4

It becomes even more interesting to use!

Gemini can turn any book into an interactive mindmaps

You can do it for books of hundreds of pages thanks to the massive context window and with a single prompt.

Perfect for those who memorize better visually (demo and prompt below): Image
Image
1. Upload your book

Open Gemini and upload your book in PDF format.

You can also use Google AI Studio by selecting the 1.5 Pro model.
2. Enter the prompt

Copy/paste the prompt from my own conversation:


Gemini will generate code that will allow you to view your mindmap. g.co/gemini/share/6…

Reasoning models are becoming the norm

So a friendly reminder that OpenAI has released a guide to writing prompts for them.

Few important points and example: Image
The most important thing is to use delimiters, for example XML tags that look like this:

<context>
Your text...
</context>

You should also nest tags, for example: <outer><inner></inner></outer>

A concrete example below:
Prompt example:


I'm building a simple Python calculator application. It's a command-line interface (CLI) application for now, focusing on basic arithmetic operations. I'm using standard Python libraries and haven't implemented any complex error handling or UI yet.

When I perform a simple addition, like '2 + 2', the calculator sometimes returns '5' instead of '4'. This doesn't happen consistently, but it's reproducible after a few calculations. It seems to be more frequent after performing a division operation.



Identify the cause of this incorrect addition result and ensure that basic arithmetic operations, specifically addition, always return the correct value. I need to find the bug in my logic that's causing this intermittent incorrect calculation, possibly after a division.

Google has just launched an AI feature capable of planning, reasoning and searching the web.

All this is done in a single prompt using Deep Research.

This is literally the first reasoning model that has access to the internet. Game-changer.

How to use it below 🧵
1. Select model

Open Gemini Advanced and select “Deep Research” from the list at the top.

Then type your prompt. Example:

“Research all the possibilities for running a small AI model (LLM/SLM) locally on a Chromebook, without an internet connection.”
2. Edit the plan

You can adapt the plan before launching the research.

Just ask Gemini to delete, add, or modify steps. E.g:

“Add a step after the 3rd one: “Find out if it is possible to install an Android app on a Chromebook and run AI models locally within that environment”.

Stop using Make or Zapier

You can use Replit to create and deploy any Python script instead.

- It's faster
- Much more flexible
- Lower cost
- You're in control

Just describe what you want the Agent to do (e.g. scrap a website).

Run and deploy in one click with Replit 🧵
1. Write your prompt

Open Replit Agent and write your prompt.

E.g. if you want to scrap a website:

“Write a Python script to scrap the [Website Name] documentation, starting with this URL: [Your URL]” Image
2. Paste the URL

Paste your base URL (to be scraped in my case).

Select “Copy page content” so that the agent can view the page. Image

I just built my 5th app using Replit AI and Agent.

Not a single line of code written by myself as I don't know how to code.

You have to follow the right methods and you can even create a full SaaS.

Here's how to create anything without coding 🧵 Image
1. Define your Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

- What core features do you want your app to have?
- To solve what problem?
- With which UI?

Keep it simple for the initial prototype.
2. Replit Agent is your coding assistant

Use it to build the foundation of your app.

Give it instructions in plain English, and it will generate the code.

But take it one step at a time:

It's IMPOSSIBLE to create a complete app with just 1 prompt.

Wow can't believe this AI model runs so fast locally on my $250 phone.

No internet connection. 100% private.

And the power of the model is surprisingly good for its small size.

iOS and Android tutorial below if interested:
1. Install PocketPal

Search for PocketPal on the App Store or Play Store and download the app.

100% free and open source.
2. Download Qwen 2.5 0.5B

Get the qwen2-0_5b-instruct model from Hugging Face with the link below.

You can take the q4_0 (lighter) or q8_0 (fuller). I use the 2nd one and it works well.
