Highlights

  • OpenAI introduces GPTs, allowing anyone to create their own AI without coding experience
  • Creators can make money by sharing their useful GPTs on the GPT Store
  • OpenAI's platform ambitions might challenge tech giants like Apple and Microsoft in the future

OpenAI has made a big move by allowing people to create their own AI, inspired by ChatGPT. They're calling these custom AI versions "GPTs" and are even planning to let you publish them on the GPT Store, where you might earn money.

OpenAI unveiled a tool that lets anyone build their own AI, known as GPTs, for various purposes. You don't need to be a coder to make these. You can make a GPT for something as simple as recipes or as complex as proprietary code (computer software code) for your company.

OpenAI is planning to reward creators whose GPTs become popular and useful. They're going to share a portion of the revenue with these creators, although the exact details are still evolving. There might be opportunities to charge for your GPTs or opt for revenue sharing.

 

We believe if you give people the tools, they will do amazing things

OpenAI's aspiring platform

OpenAI is aiming to become a place where people create AI, and that could put it in competition with big companies like Apple and Microsoft. They've clearly embraced a hands-off approach, allowing others to shine on their platform. Microsoft, with its upcoming Copilot models, might find itself in competition with GPTs for enterprise-level tasks.
