OpenAI introduces custom AI assistants called “GPTs”
Create Your Own Chatbot Empire and Earn Money Through the GPT Store
OpenAI is giving everyone the opportunity to become a bot entrepreneur with their new GPT store and custom ChatGPT offerings. Soon anyone will be able to create their very own AI assistants, add their unique knowledge and skills, then sell them on the GPT marketplace to generate an income stream.
Through simple conversation-based building, OpenAI will allow users to craft personalised ChatGPT chatbots - now called GPTs - tailored to specific needs. Whether for individual use, within a company, or designed for a wider audience, crafting GPTs requires no coding expertise. Creators simply instruct the AI during dialogue on what capabilities they want it to have like web searching, image generation or data analysis.
Initially available to larger ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise customers, OpenAI plans to roll out the GPT builder tool to all users. But the big opportunity lies in sharing your creations publicly through the upcoming GPT store. By listing quality GPTs that solve problems or provide value, creators can earn money as their bots are discovered, downloaded and put to use by others.
OpenAI will highlight popular GPTs across different categories to boost visibility. And the more a GPT is utilized, the higher the payouts will be for its developer. With an easily searchable storefront and promotion of useful bots, the possibilities are vast for generating ongoing income streams from personalized AI.
Alongside unleashing the power of custom chatbots, OpenAI also debuted an upgraded ChatGPT model dubbed GPT-4 Turbo. Boasting a larger context window and knowledge up to April 2023, it provides a cheaper and more capable conversing experience for users. With both customization and monetization now accessible on the OpenAI platform, the future of chatbots as a business is wide open.
