Why this topic matters
Big news: Sam Altman is doubling down on plugins. There are only 5,066 so far and your product could be next. ChatGPT now recommends them mid-conversation. They also work in dots, the new agents everyone will be trying. I've been building plugins since January, 2026 and already have one approved in the directory. I'll show you how to build it right, how to design it and what to watch out for when you submit. You get my prompts and a GitHub repo.
