traffic is so high that unfortunately we'll run into OpenAI usage limits soon. Over 35.000 PDF chats so far! 🔥 For now the PDF size is limited to 50 pages, but we might have to lower it even further

ChatGPT could try to become more of a platform that allows Plugins to define their own UIs, becoming more of an app store. But that cannot work from within an app, something like that needs to integrate on the operating system level. If only OpenAI or Microsoft had a phone...
