The power and ease of use of ChatGPT should not be mentioned any more. Nowadays, many people will use it to help with work and academic matters, especially some paperwork. And some people must want to say, is there no way to fill in the ChatGPT reply directly into the Word file? Of course there are. A while ago, the well-known foreign open source Office software “OnlyOffice” announced that it officially supports the ChatGPT plug-in function. People in need can try it. The following will teach you how to install and use.
The first open source Office software that supports ChatGPT is available!This article teaches you how to use
OnlyOffice is an open-source Office software that supports many platforms. There are web version, desktop version, and mobile version. Below I will take the Windows desktop version as an example. The web version is more troublesome and requires registration to use it, but the desktop version does not. The mobile version does not yet support the ChatGPT plug-in function.
After entering the download page of OnlyOffice official website, select your operating system, Windows section, x64 is on the left, x86 is on the right, don’t make a mistake, if you are interested in knowing what features this version has, you can click “New” on the right side of the version Add content”, there is a description in Chinese:
This version has a simplified Chinese interface, but not traditional ones. If there are no special requirements during the installation process, just keep pressing the next step:
The picture below is the Windows desktop version interface of OnlyOffice. Overall, it is pretty good and very simple. Please create a file first, and click the file on the left:
Click the plug-in on the upper toolbar, and you will see that there is no ChatGPT plug-in yet, and you need to install it manually. Click Settings on the left to find the function of adding a plug-in, but the ChatGPT plug-in file needs to be downloaded from OnyOffice’s GitHub:
Click me to go to the OnlyOffice download pageclick the green Code on the right, and press the “Download ZIP” option:
After downloading, unzip it, then go to the path “onlyoffice.github.io-masteronlyoffice.github.io-mastersdkjs-pluginscontentopenai” and select all the files:
Open the right-click menu to see which compression tool you use, I use 7-Zip, click “Add Compression File”:
Confirm that the compression format is Zip, and press OK if there is no problem:
Change the .zip extension to .plugin. For those who cannot see the extension, you can open the file in the upper left corner of the file explorer -> View -> untick “Hide extensions for known file types”, This will see:
The file name will change to this:
After returning to OnlyOffice, press Add plugin:
Going to the path just now, the strange thing is that I typed the extension name correctly, but it still doesn’t appear on the list. If you are in the same situation as me, it doesn’t matter. Change the lower right corner to display all files:
You will see the openai.plugin file, open it:
You will see ChatGPT at the bottom! An icon of ChatGPT will also appear in the toolbar:
Click this icon when you want to use it:
You need to enter your API Key before use, press “OpenAI API keys” in the above instructions:
It will open the OpenAI website. After logging in to the account, it is reasonable to say that you should not have created API keys, just copy them directly, if not, please click Create new secret key:
Then this window will pop up, click the green icon on the right to copy the obtained API key:
The created API keys will also be stored for your convenience. In addition, I want to remind you that API keys are charged by tokens, but each member will get a quota of 18 US dollars when they register, which can basically be used quite a few times. At the end of the article, I will tell you how to check how much quota you have used:
After pasting the API key, click Save below:
This will get you started:
Enter the content you want ChatGPT to give you, and press Submit to submit:
The content will be automatically answered in the Word file on the right. The speed is not bad, but when I test the Chinese, if it reaches the fourth line, it often happens that there is no complete answer, that is, it reaches half of the middle, and it is useless to continue typing. Therefore, it is more suitable for short answers at present, and more attention should be paid to this point:
In addition to asking questions, you can also let it help you rewrite the content, like I asked to rewrite this text, in a more colloquial way:
The whole text looks more like human writing:
You can also ask it to help translate English. Remember to post the text in the input field on the left. If you select all on the right, the AI will directly overwrite the text after answering:
The translation quality is also quite good:
As for the free 18 USD part of the tokens mentioned earlier, you can find out how much you have used in the “Usage” of the account background on the OpenAI official website. Like the three paragraphs I just demonstrated above, it only cost 0.09 USD, so 18 USD is indeed Can be used many times:
Also, I would like to remind you that although OnlyOffice calls this a ChatGPT plug-in function, it is actually not the same as the ChatGPT we use on the Internet. The API key obtained here is not ChatGPT, but other models. The ChatGPT API was officially launched recently.For details, please click me to the OpenAI official website to see moreso now we are using other models of OpenAI. For a detailed list, click “Show advanced settings” under OnlyOffice ChatGPT to see which model is currently being used. Now there are 7 options:
- text-davinci-003
- text-davinci-001
- curie-instruct-beta
- text-ada-001
- text-curie-001
- text-davinci-002
- text-babbage-001
So, the content of the answer here is likely to be different from what you get in ChatGPT.
