Key Takeaways:

After a delayed launch, OpenAI’s GPT Store is set to open next week. Users can sell and share personalized AI agents based on OpenAI’s large language models. An email sent to GPT Builders urged them to ensure their GPT creations align with brand guidelines and to make them public.

OpenAI initially announced the opportunity for users to build AI agents, known as GPTs, during its November developers conference. This feature is exclusive to ChatGPT Plus and enterprise subscribers, allowing them to create custom chatbots using the GPT-4 language model. These bots can range from explaining Gen Z memes to guiding people through negotiations. While OpenAI’s custom GPTs are available through ChatGPT Plus, the GPT Store enables users to share and monetize their creations. OpenAI plans to compensate GPT creators based on usage but has not provided further details.

Originally slated for a November launch, the GPT Store faced delays due to OpenAI’s busy month involving the firing and rehiring of CEO Sam Altman. The launch date was first pushed to December and then postponed again.
