After facing delays, OpenAI is gearing up to launch its much-anticipated GPT Store, where users can sell and share customized AI agents based on the company’s powerful language models. The store, initially slated for a November release, will officially open next week, allowing ChatGPT Plus and enterprise subscribers to create and monetize personalized chatbots.
In an email sent to GPT Builders, OpenAI urged users to ensure their GPT creations align with brand guidelines and encouraged them to make their AI agents public. The GPT Store concept was unveiled at OpenAI’s November developers conference, promising users the ability to build AI agents, known as GPTs, using the GPT-4 large language model.
While customized GPTs developed by OpenAI are accessible through the explore tab of ChatGPT Plus, the upcoming store will provide a platform for users to share and potentially earn from their creations. The store’s launch was initially slated for November but faced delays due to organizational changes, including the departure and subsequent rehiring of CEO Sam Altman. Despite setbacks, OpenAI is now ready to introduce the GPT Store to the public next week.
OpenAI has expressed its intention to establish a payment system for GPT creators based on the usage of their AI agents on the store. However, specific details about the compensation plan are yet to be disclosed. As the countdown begins for the GPT Store’s debut, users eagerly anticipate the opportunity to engage with and contribute to the evolving landscape of AI customization.
