What does HackerNews think of chatgpt-retrieval-plugin?

The ChatGPT Retrieval Plugin lets you easily search and find personal or work documents by asking questions in everyday language.

Language: Python

Is it made using the retrieval plugin (https://github.com/openai/chatgpt-retrieval-plugin) and a custom knowledge base?
Congrats on launching! Does Metal compete with https://github.com/openai/chatgpt-retrieval-plugin or does it provide a different value?
OpenAI already has it, it’s part of the retrieval plugin:

“A notable feature of the Retrieval Plugin is its capacity to provide ChatGPT with memory. By utilizing the plugin's upsert endpoint, ChatGPT can save snippets from the conversation to the vector database for later reference (only when prompted to do so by the user). This functionality contributes to a more context-aware chat experience by allowing ChatGPT to remember and retrieve information from previous conversations.”

This is huge, essentially adding what people have been building with LangChain Tools into the core product.

The browser and file-upload/interpretation plugins are great, but I think the real game changer is retrieval over arbitrary documents/filesystem: https://github.com/openai/chatgpt-retrieval-plugin
