Wolfram Alpha is a computational knowledge engine that provides users with answers to queries in a wide range of topics. Unlike traditional search engines, which retrieve lists of web pages that might contain relevant information, Wolfram Alpha computes answers based on structured data, algorithms, and other methods. It was created by physicist and mathematician Stephen Wolfram and his team at Wolfram Research, and was launched in 2009. Wolfram Alpha can be used for a variety of purposes, such as computing mathematical equations, generating statistical data, finding information about various topics, and more.
Wolfram alpha just released a Wolfram plugin to Chatgpt!. The combination between this two platfroms will make ChatGPT smarter by giving it access to powerful computation, accurate math, curated knowledge, real-time data and visualization through Wolfram|Alpha and Wolfram Language.
In the following post Stephen Wolfram, the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research, writes about adding “Wolfram Superpowers” to ChatGPT. In the post, Dr Stephen Wolfram explains how he collaborated with the OpenAI team to integrate the Wolfram Language into ChatGPT, which enables the model to perform computations and access Wolfram’s vast knowledge base directly from within its language processing pipeline. This integration allows ChatGPT to answer a wide range of queries, from simple factual questions to complex computations and data analysis tasks. Wolfram also provides examples of how ChatGPT with Wolfram Superpowers can be used in various fields, including education, research, and entertainment. At the post he demonstrates different prompts he wrote to ChatGPT with the new plugin, and shows what are the Abilities of this combination.
In order to start using this plugin you can enter the instructions by Wollfarm here.
At the following video Dr. Stephen Wolfram announces this ability and explains about his predictions fo the Future of AI.
