The “Show Me” ChatGPT plugin is designed to provide visual explanations and diagrams for a wide range of topics. Here are some of the best use cases:
- Explaining Complex Concepts: If you’re trying to understand a complex concept or process, the plugin can generate a diagram to make it easier to understand. For example, you could ask for a diagram explaining how a car engine works, or the process of photosynthesis in plants.
- Visualizing Processes: If you’re trying to understand a process, such as the steps involved in brewing beer or the lifecycle of a software development process, the plugin can create a step-by-step diagram to illustrate it.
- Summarizing Information: If you’re trying to summarize a large amount of information, such as the key points from a book or the main events in a historical period, the plugin can create a mind map or timeline to help you visualize it.
