OpenAI launched GPT Store – a store with custom chatbots
By ForGeeks OpenAI has launched an online store where people can share customized versions of the popular ChatGPT chatbot. The new store, which launched Wednesday for paying ChatGPT users, will feature chatbots that users create for various tasks, such as a version of ChatGPT that can teach a child math or come up with colorful cocktail recipes. The product, called GPT Store, will include chatbots that users have decided to share in the public domain. Eventually, it will allow people to make money from their creations — much like the app stores of Apple Inc. or Google Alphabet Inc.

Like those app stores, OpenAI’s GPT Store will allow users to see the most popular and trending chatbots on a leaderboard and search for them by category. OpenAI said on its blog that people have created 3 million custom chatbots so far, though it’s unclear how many of them were available in the store at launch. The store launch comes as OpenAI works to grow its ecosystem of services and find new revenue streams. On Wednesday, OpenAI also announced a new paid ChatGPT tier for companies with smaller teams, with pricing starting at $25 per month per user. OpenAI first launched an enterprise version of ChatGPT with additional features and privacy protections in August.

People who pay for access to ChatGPT, including enterprise customers and ChatGPT Plus subscribers, are allowed to use or create custom GPTs. At first, OpenAI says, users won’t be able to profit from their chatbots. But within the first three months of this year, the company will share details on how people will be able to make money from them. On its blog, the company said that in the US, people will be paid «based on user engagement» with their chatbots.

OpenAI had originally planned to unveil the store in late November, but delayed the launch until this year, citing disruptions caused by the suspension and reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman in November. The startup will introduce new GPTs every week. At launch, among the chatbots he talked about were one from Canva, which helps people create logos, flyers and other media, and another that recommends travel destinations for vacations.
