Additional context
Plugin stores like ChatGPT's allow for a vast expansion of capabilities (e.g., Wolfram Alpha, Canva, Zapier integrations).
8. Expand to Multi-modal Capabilities
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The application primarily handles text. Expanding to other modalities (beyond just image generation) could open up new use cases.
Describe the solution you'd like
Explore and implement support for additional input/output modalities. This could include:
- Understanding and discussing the content of uploaded images (beyond just generating new ones).
- Processing or generating audio snippets (e.g., short voice notes, sound effects).
- Potentially interacting with video content in the future.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Remaining a text-focused application.
Additional context
True multi-modal AI can understand and generate content across different types of information, like Google's Gemini.
9. Improve Personalization and Long-Term Memory
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The AI may not effectively remember user preferences or context from previous conversations over extended periods, leading to repetitive interactions or a less personalized experience.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement mechanisms for:
- Long-term memory: Allowing the AI to recall key information and context from past conversations (with user consent and control).
- User profiles/preferences: Enabling users to set preferences that the AI can refer to for tailoring its responses, style, or behavior.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Each conversation being largely standalone.
Additional context
Enhanced personalization can make the AI feel more like a consistent and helpful assistant.
