OpenAI opens a store of personalized UI bots

After a long delay, OpenaAI's GPT store is almost ready.

The GPT Store, i.e. a store where users can sell and share personalized and adapted UI agents to specific needs, which are of course based on OpenAI's large language models, will go live this week. All users who are logged into the GPT Builders program have received an email with this notification. In the message, OpenAI also asks that users verify that their GPTs meet the company's visual rules and guidelines, and that all GPTs are public.

OpenAI first announced at its developer conference in November that it will make it possible to build artificial intelligence agents, called GPTs, using its GPT-4 large language model. Available only to ChatGPT Plus subscribers and businesses, this allows you to create customized versions of ChatGPT-style chatbots, from ones that explain Generation Z memes to ones that guide people in negotiations. While custom-made GPTs created by OpenAI are available in the explore tab in ChatGPT Plus, the store would allow users to share and monetize their GPTs. OpenAI said it plans to find a way to pay GPT creators based on how much their AI agents are used in-store. So far, he has not released any other details about the plan.

The store was originally supposed to open in November, but the "opening" had to be delayed as OpenAI had a very busy month. We still remember, don't we? Among other things, CEO Sam Altman was fired and then rehired. The store's launch date was pushed back to December, then pushed back again.
