[Solana Labs](https://twitter.com/solanalabs?ref=metatalks.ai), the company behind the development of the Solana blockchain, [has created](https://twitter.com/solanalabs/status/1650955017585606656?ref=metatalks.ai) an open-source basic implementation of a plugin for the [ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/?ref=metatalks.ai) chatbot, which enables interaction with the [Solana](https://twitter.com/solana?ref=metatalks.ai) network.

Once plugins based on this basic solution become available, users will be able to interact with the network through the ChatGPT neural network. They can check their wallet balances, transfer tokens, and purchase NFTs.

The chatbot will be able to retrieve a list of [#NFTs](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23NFT&src=hashtag%5Fclick&ref=metatalks.ai) associated with a specific [#Solana](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Solana&src=typeahead%5Fclick&f=top&ref=metatalks.ai) address and their corresponding metadata links. The ChatGPT plugin extracts information from online sources and interacts with external websites. The service allows users to view statistics on TPS and average ping, but currently, it only offers a maximum frame of 6 hours, which may not be that convenient.

Developers who want to test the software and launch their own version can find the code [on GitHub](https://github.com/solana-labs/chatgpt-plugin?ref=metatalks.ai).

At the same time, [Solana Foundation](https://twitter.com/SolanaFndn?ref=metatalks.ai) has set up a [$1 million fund](https://twitter.com/SolanaFndn/status/1650982737946222594?ref=metatalks.ai) to offer small grants for projects exploring the connection between the Solana blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI).

Projects exploring the intersection of the Solana blockchain and AI can apply for grants from the Solana Foundation's $1 million fund. Grants range from $5,000 to $25,000, and applicants must make their solutions publicly accessible with open-source code upon launch to be eligible.

Not everyone is thrilled with this news, though.

> One user on Twitter asked Solana to focus on – fixing its block explorer \*before\* adding fancy AI features. 🛠️

> Others are questioning what good it'll do for the ecosystem. 🤷‍♀️

But generally speaking, the launch of the ChatGPT plugin can be seen as Solana's first step towards finding effective synergy between AI and blockchain technologies.

> I don't know about you, but I can already see how in the not too distant future I will go into a search engine and google the volume of purchases solmadbears and tell the bot to buy 3, and in the evening I run my accounts in raffle through ChatGPT.

By the way, guys from [Helium](https://www.helium.com/?ref=metatalks.ai) asked ChatGPT these days about what could be built using [@solana](https://twitter.com/solana?ref=metatalks.ai) and [@helium](https://twitter.com/helium?ref=metatalks.ai).

So maybe one should follow suit.

> Every [@solana](https://twitter.com/solana?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=metatalks.ai) dev should consider hacking up a ChatGPT plugin over the weekend and make it available for OpenAI. [#SolanaGPT](https://twitter.com/hashtag/SolanaGPT?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=metatalks.ai)
