GPT Store

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The GPT Store is a platform developed by OpenAI that enables users and developers to create, publish, and monetize GPTs without requiring advanced programming skills. GPTs are custom applications built using the artificial intelligence chatbot known as ChatGPT.

History

[edit]

The GPT Store was announced in October 2023 and launched in January 2024. According to OpenAI, the platform aims to democratize access to advanced artificial intelligence and facilitate the creation of custom chatbot applications without requiring advanced programming skills.[1][2] The platform has garnered attention from developers and companies for its innovative potential and monetization opportunities.[3] Initially available only to paying customers, access to the GPT Store became free in May 2024.[4][5]

Features

[edit]

The GPT Store allows users to create and customize chatbots, known as GPTs, tailored to various needs such as customer service, personal assistance, video and image creation, and more. GPTs are categorized into various sections, including Programming, Education, and Research.[6] The platform is designed to be user-friendly, with intuitive tools that do not require advanced technical knowledge.[7]

Creators of GPTs will have the opportunity to monetize their applications through various business models, including subscriptions and pay-per-use.[8][9] The GPT Store also features a star-based rating system for users to evaluate GPTs, similar to other app stores such as Apple's App Store and Google Play.[10]

Controversy

[edit]

Despite its initial success, the GPT Store has faced criticism concerning potential copyright violations. Some users and companies have expressed concerns about the use of AI-generated content that may infringe on intellectual property rights. For instance, a teacher has alleged that some students created GPTs that provided access to content from copyrighted books.[11]
