Get inspired
All of the following types of plugins are monetizable, but the most valuable plugins will often include elements of each.
Workflow plugins
Workflow plugins help users perform a set of steps to accomplish some part of their work. They often connect to related apps via the integrations or browser tools offered by Claude & ChatGPT — pulling in needed data or content, or sending outputs where they go.
If your target customers were YouTubers, one of your plugin's skills might help them write a video's script, title, & description, while another might insert everything into YouTube.
Knowledge plugins
Knowledge plugins offer a well-organized knowledge base, either embedded as resources within the plugin itself or accessed via an MCP tool, which AI searches in order to provide advice, adhere to best practices, or offer better-informed responses.
If your target customers were young professionals seeking career advancement, you might offer actionable advice to help them get their work recognized & work toward a promotion.
Data plugins
Data plugins connect to a dataset that the AI models don't have access to. This could be a global dataset (e.g. MLS data for real estate agents), or an external customer-specific dataset (e.g. data from their stock brokerage) or one you help them populate (e.g. job postings to apply for).
If your target customers were content marketers, you might offer an MCP tool that takes a base keyword and returns a list of related keywords, as well as a skill for processing that list.
Utility plugins
Utility plugins offer features that help users with one or more specific well-defined tasks. They often transform an input into an output, frequently by passing the input to an MCP server tool that returns the transformed input.
If your target customers were college students, you might offer an MCP tool that transcribes lecture recordings, and a skill that turns them into cleanly formatted class notes.
