OpenAI Launches GPT Store for Custom ChatGPTs

OpenAI has announced the rollout of the GPT Store, a new feature designed to help users discover and share custom versions of ChatGPT. This comes just two months after the initial introduction of GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers), which have already seen over 3 million custom variations created by users. The GPT Store is initially available to ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Enterprise users, providing them with access to a curated collection of popular and useful GPTs.

What’s New in the GPT Store

The GPT Store introduces several key features that make it easier for both creators and users to engage with custom GPTs:

• Diverse Range of GPTs: The store showcases a wide variety of GPTs developed by OpenAI partners and the community. Categories include DALL·E (for generating images), writing, research, programming, education, and lifestyle.
• Community Leaderboard: Users can browse popular and trending GPTs on the leaderboard, which highlights the most widely used and highly rated custom models.
• Weekly Featured GPTs: OpenAI will highlight new and impactful GPTs every week. Some of the first featured GPTs include:
  • AllTrails: Personalized trail recommendations for hikers.
  • Consensus: A tool to search and synthesize results from over 200 million academic papers.
  • Khan Academy Code Tutor: An AI tutor to help users improve their coding skills.
  • Canva: Design tools for creating presentations and social media posts.
  • Books: Recommendations for your next read.
  • CK-12 Flexi: A math and science AI tutor.

How to Share Your GPT

If you’ve built a custom GPT and want to share it in the store, here’s what you need to do:

1. Save for Everyone: Ensure your GPT is set to "Everyone" (not "Anyone with a link") so it can be discovered in the store.
2. Verify Your Builder Profile: Go to Settings → Builder profile → Enable your name or a verified website to verify your identity.

OpenAI emphasizes compliance with their usage policies and GPT brand guidelines. To maintain the quality and safety of GPTs in the store, OpenAI has implemented a new review system that includes both human and automated reviews. Users can also report inappropriate GPTs through the provided reporting mechanism.

Earnings for Builders

In the first quarter of 2024, OpenAI will introduce an earnings model for builders based on the usage of their GPTs. This means creators can potentially earn revenue from the popularity and utility of their custom models.

Why It Matters to Practitioners

The GPT Store represents a significant step forward in democratizing access to AI tools. For developers and non-technical users alike, it provides a platform to share and discover innovative applications of GPTs. The store’s emphasis on community and collaboration can foster a more vibrant ecosystem of AI-powered solutions.
