GPT Store launched

OpenAI's GPT Store, where users can share their customized chatbots, finally launched on Wednesday after several months of delays. The store brings additional potential use cases to ChatGPT and expands OpenAI's ecosystem beyond what the company builds for its clients.

Since announcing the GPT Builder program in November, OpenAI said over 3 million bots - called GPTs - have been created by users. (Including myself; I made a GPT that suggests synonyms for common words). The company said it plans to highlight useful GPTs weekly inside the store.

The company originally intended to open the GPT Store in November before postponing to December and finally January. The platform allows people who have created their own chatbots to publicly share their versions of ChatGPT. So far, only subscribers to OpenAI's paid tiers can make and use customized GPTs.

OpenAI also announced it will initiate a revenue sharing program with GPT creators in the first quarter of the year. GPT builders will be compensated based on user engagement with their chatbots, but the company has not yet shared specifics on what that looks like in practice.
