OpenAI chief Sam Altman announced that GPTs are now live for all ChatGPT+ subscribers. GPTs are essentially customised chatbots that anyone, regardless of their technical expertise, can create using ‘Natural Language’ which is very much a part of Conversational AI. 

Furthermore, once users create their GPT, they can share them publicly on the upcoming GPT Store, set to launch later this month. The GPT Store is going to be pretty much similar to the Google Play Store or Apple’s App Store. 

The GPT Store will feature creations by verified builders, making it easy for others to discover and utilise these tailored AI agents. GPTs in the store will be searchable, and they may climb leaderboards based on their utility and popularity. Additionally, creators will have the opportunity to earn money based on the number of people using their GPTs.

At DevDay, Altman provided a brief example of how to approach building your own GPT using natural language on GPT Builder. He demonstrated this with the assistance of a GPT named ‘Startup Mentor’ which offers advice to startup founders

Furthermore, OpenAI has enabled developers to connect GPTs to the real world by defining custom actions through APIs. These actions allow GPTs to integrate external data sources, interact with databases, manage emails, or assist with e-commerce tasks. The flexibility provided by these actions empowers users to design AI agents that cater to specific needs, both at home and in business settings.

For enterprise customers, OpenAI has introduced internal-only GPTs, enabling businesses to create customised versions of ChatGPT tailored to specific departments, use cases, or proprietary datasets. Companies like Amgen, Bain, and Square have already leveraged internal GPTs to streamline various processes, such as crafting marketing materials, supporting customer inquiries, and aiding software engineers in their onboarding process.
