Installing and Enabling the WebPilot Plugin

Using the WebPilot ChatGPT plugin requires first installing it from the plugin store and then enabling it before generating outputs. Here is a step-by-step guide to getting WebPilot ready to use:

First, you need to enable third-party plugins in your ChatGPT account settings. Go to profile > settings > AI > Enable plugins. This gives ChatGPT permission to execute plugin code.

Next, install the WebPilot plugin itself by going to the plugin panel, searching for "WebPilot" and clicking "Install". This downloads the plugin so ChatGPT can call its code.

Finally, make sure to enable WebPilot each time you want to use it. In the plugin panel, find WebPilot under the installed list click the toggle on. With the switch enabled green, WebPilot will activate when called.

Enabling ChatGPT Plugins

ChatGPT plugins are third-party add-ons containing extra code and functionality. To use any plugins, the first requirement is enabling the plugin system itself:

  • Go to your ChatGPT account profile
  • Click on "Settings" then open the "AI" tab
  • Check the box for "Enable Plugins"
  • This grants permission for plugins to access ChatGPT on your behalf Once the overall plugin system is enabled, you can start installing and managing individual plugins like WebPilot in the plugin panel.

Installing the WebPilot Plugin

With plugins enabled in your ChatGPT settings, you can now install WebPilot:

  • Open ChatGPT and start a new chat
  • Click on the puzzle icon to open the plugin panel
  • Search for "WebPilot" and click on it when it appears
  • Click the "Install" button to download WebPilot to your account
  • WebPilot is now installed and can be enabled as needed This one-time plugin installation makes WebPilot accessible going forward whenever you need its web page analysis capabilities.

Activating the Plugin Before Use

As a final setup step before using the WebPilot plugin, you need to explicitly enable it each time:

  • In the plugin panel, navigate to the "Installed" list
  • Locate WebPilot in the list of installed plugins
  • Click the toggle switch to turn it from grey to green
  • WebPilot will now be active for that ChatGPT session Leaving plugins disabled by default prevents accidental overuse. So turn WebPilot "on" green when needed before entering prompts relying on it.

Using the WebPilot Plugin: A Step-By-Step Example

Once WebPilot is installed and activated in your ChatGPT account, using it is very straightforward. You simply enter the URLs you want to analyze, specify the desired action in plain language, and WebPilot handles the rest.

Here is a step-by-step example of using WebPilot to translate a website article into Spanish:

First, I'll provide the URL of the website page I want to process:

"https://www.myarticlesite.com/webpilot-chatgpt-plugin/"

Next, I'll ask WebPilot to translate the page content into Spanish using natural language:

"Using WebPilot, please translate the full text of the article at that URL into Spanish"

Finally, WebPilot will fetch the page content, run the text through translation software, and return the Spanish version for me to use or refine further.

Entering a Web Page URL

The starting point for using WebPilot is providing one or more web page URLs as the source content you want to process. For example:

Specifying the Desired Action

After supplying page URL(s), the next step is using natural language to tell WebPilot what action you want performed:

  • Summarize the key points of those pages
  • Translate the content into German
  • Identify all contact info available for outreach
  • Answer the question "What year did this product launch?"
  • Generate a new 800 word article compiling the research WebPilot can parse extremely nuanced commands related to summarizing, translating, analyzing, scraping data from, querying, or compiling content based on what you provide.

Generating Output

Once valid URLs are provided and the desired action is stated clearly, WebPilot will go to work:

  • It will fetch the full content behind the page URLs
  • Analyze the content as necessary to address the requested task
  • Generate a useful output like summaries, translations, scraped data, question answers, or fully new content The output produced by WebPilot will be returned directly in the chat for immediate use. For longer content like generated articles, a Google Docs link allows easy access.
