OpenAI has rolled out customisable versions of ChatGPT, termed 'GPTs', enabling users to create and share their own tailored versions of ChatGPT for specific needs, be they personal or professional.
The creation of GPTs requires no programming skills, allowing for a broadened application for the AI.
For enterprise customers, OpenAI has launched internal-only GPTs, providing an option to custom-build AI capabilities to specific business needs.
OpenAI's new offering includes an initial batch of example GPTs for ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users, with plans to extend access more broadly in the future.
GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more helpful in their daily life, at specific tasks, at work, or at home — and then share that creation with others. No code required. https://t.co/SPV4TcMiQw pic.twitter.com/PcmorZwtMF— OpenAI (@OpenAI) November 6, 2023
What are GPTs?
GPTs are designed to automate and remember complex instructions and preferences that were previously managed manually by users.
This advancement reflects OpenAI's commitment to making AI more adaptable and user-friendly.
This platform will feature verified builders' creations and allow users to search and rank GPTs.
Additionally, creators will have the opportunity to monetise their GPTs based on user engagement.
GPT store - en route
The company will also debut a 'GPT Store' later this month, where users can publish their GPTs.
New systems have been implemented to review GPTs against usage policies, aiming to prevent the circulation of harmful content.
For developers, GPTs offer the possibility to connect with real-world APIs, allowing for integration with external databases, email systems, and e-commerce platforms.
This feature is an extension of insights gained from OpenAI's plugin beta.
Broader strategy
In a broader context, OpenAI invites more individuals to shape the behaviour of AI, aligning with their mission to build safe and beneficial artificial general intelligence (AGI).
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to involve the community in AI development, ensuring a more diverse and aligned range of AI applications.
Lastly, ChatGPT Plus has been updated with the latest information up to April 2023 and simplified for a more seamless user experience, consolidating various models and capabilities into a single interface.
