OpenAI unveiled its GPT Store on Wednesday, a marketplace where paid ChatGPT users may buy and trade specialized chatbot agents based on the company’s language models.
Through its paid ChatGPT Plus service, the company, whose phenomenally successful product ChatGPT helped begin the AI revolution, already offers customizable bots. Users will be able to provide and monetize a wider selection of tools through the new store.
Chatbot agents with their own personalities or themes might be created using the new models, which include models for pay negotiating, lesson planning, and recipe development. According to OpenAI’s blog post announcing the debut, more than 3 million bespoke versions of ChatGPT have already been generated. It also stated that it intends to showcase essential GPT tools within the store on a weekly basis.
The shop has been compared to Apple’s App shop in terms of encouraging new AI development from a wider spectrum of users. In a similar vein, Meta provides chatbots with varying personalities.
The GPT shop was supposed to open in November, but it was pushed back due to internal corporate turmoil late last year, when OpenAI’s board ousted CEO Sam Altman. After a near-mass exodus of staff, he returned to the post a week later.
In a blog post, the business stated that it would introduce a revenue-sharing program in the first quarter of this year, with builders being compensated depending on user interaction with their GPTs. Details have yet to be released.
In a communication to platform developers last week, OpenAI advised users to verify that their chatbots adhere to usage policies and GPT brand requirements. In a news release accompanying the launch, the business highlighted numerous existing products, including those from the design tool Canva and the hiking software AllTrails.
The new store is available to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise members, as well as a new subscription tier called Team, which costs $25 per month per user. Team subscribers can also construct custom GPTs to meet their specific needs.
During its first developer demo day, Altman pledged to cover the legal costs for developers who may violate copyright laws while developing products based on ChatGPT and OpenAI’s technologies. For using copyrighted literature to train its massive language models, OpenAI has been sued many times for suspected copyright infringement. Altman stated in early January that it would be “impossible” to construct ChatGPT without include copyrighted information in the artificial intelligence’s training corpus.
ChatGPT, the company’s flagship product, was debuted with minimal fanfare in November 2022 but immediately grabbed on with consumers, amassing 100 million members in a couple of months. OpenAI also produces the Dall-E picture generating software, though it is unclear whether the store will accept custom image bots or only customized chatbots.
