OpenAI has launched the GPT Store, an app store for developers to create and share custom GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) apps. This move is part of OpenAI’s strategy to incentivize developers and creators to provide fresh content for its platform and maintain its edge in the competitive AI landscape.
The GPT Store is currently available to those with a ChatGPT Plus subscription and users of the business plans ChatGPT Team and Enterprise. Users of the free version of ChatGPT cannot access the apps at this time. OpenAI refers to these apps as GPTs and claims that over 3 million users have already created custom versions of ChatGPT since November.
Similar to the app stores of Apple and Google’s YouTube, OpenAI’s platform aims to offer new and compelling features and experiences within a familiar interface. The GPT Store includes a search function to help users discover new GPT apps, as well as promote notable GPTs and publish leaderboards of the most popular ones.
However, OpenAI’s plans for paying app makers are still in development. This means that developers are taking a leap of faith in the hopes of favorable terms. OpenAI is relying on the hype around ChatGPT to attract builders to its platform, without offering a clear monetary payoff.
One example of a GPT app in the GPT Store is Consensus, a search engine for research papers. Its founder, Eric Olson, believes that launching the app within ChatGPT will help him attract new customers and maintain loyalty from existing paying customers.
OpenAI’s content policies and guidelines also apply to GPT apps, limiting the kind of content that can be generated. The company will soon introduce a payment model for app developers, but details on the criteria for payments have not yet been provided.
By creating the GPT Store, OpenAI is expanding its platform and encouraging developers to create innovative and useful applications. It remains to be seen how successful this new venture will be in attracting developers and generating engaging content for users.
