ChatGPT Plugins: Deciding What Gets a UI vs Staying in Chat
Paoli99 · reddit · 2026-10-13
A developer at MCPJam building a recipe plugin for ChatGPT Plugin Extensions shares his framework: browsing (scanning lists, clicking) belongs in a UI view; asking questions ("what replaces coconut milk?") suits conversation where the model explains tradeoffs; editing tasks (scaling ingredients) are ambiguous — chat is faster to state, view easier to verify. His v1 strategy: one view, a few read/save tools, validating each tool's I/O before expanding, and he solicits other plugin builders' experience.
