OpenAI Will Open Its Custom ChatGPT Store Next Week

OpenAI’s GPT Store is getting ready to open for business after a delayed launch. The store allows users to sell and share customized AI agents created with OpenAI’s large language models.

According to a report from Bloomberg, OpenAI will soon enable individuals to share personalized versions of its ChatGPT chatbot, referred to as “GPTs.” This information comes from an email sent by OpenAI to those actively involved in building GPTs.

OpenAI’s GPT Store Opening Soon

OpenAI initially revealed during its November developers conference that it would allow individuals to construct AI agents, known as GPTs, utilizing its GPT-4 large language model. This feature is exclusive to ChatGPT Plus and enterprise subscribers. It enables users to develop personalized versions of ChatGPT-style chatbots, ranging from those explaining Gen Z memes to those guiding people through negotiations.

According to an email sent to GPT Builders, the official launch is scheduled for next week. The email also reminded users to ensure that their GPT creations adhere to brand guidelines and encouraged them to make their GPTs public.

While customized GPTs built by OpenAI are accessible through the explore tab of ChatGPT Plus, the upcoming store will enable users to share and monetize their GPTs. OpenAI has expressed its intention to establish a method to compensate GPT creators based on the usage of their AI agents in the store. However, no additional details about this compensation plan have been released.

The store was initially set to launch in November, but it faced delays due to OpenAI’s busy month of initially removing and then rehiring CEO Sam Altman. The launch date was pushed to December but was further postponed.

OpenAI’s GPT Store, opening soon after a delay, lets users sell and share custom AI agents. A Bloomberg report, citing an email to GPT builders, reveals this option for personalizing ChatGPT chatbots, known as “GPTs.” Exclusive to ChatGPT Plus and enterprise subscribers, it allows customization, sharing, and monetization.
