  • What's the US unemployment rate, charted over the last 10 years?
  • Compare US and China CPI inflation year-over-year for the last five years.
  • Plot the US 10-year Treasury yield, monthly, since 2020.

Troubleshooting

No Plugins in the sidebar
Plugins live in the ChatGPT desktop app — not web, mobile, or the IDE extension. Update the app if you don’t see the Plugins item.
FactIQ marketplace missing
Confirm the repository is exactly defog-ai/factiq-plugin, then look for the factiq marketplace with your custom plugins. Restart the app if it doesn't appear. Directory changes can take up to six hours to refresh on Codex — restart Codex or refresh the plugin data before retrying.
OAuth gets stuck
Sign in to FactIQ in the same browser, then retry. You can also remove the plugin and add it again.
Tools missing in chat
Bundled skills load in new conversations after installation. Start a fresh chat and type @FactIQ to select it explicitly.
