OpenAI plans to launch a store for GPTs, custom apps based on its text-generating AI models (e.g. GPT-4), sometime this week.
Some or most GPT builders have been receiving emails asking users to double-check that their GPT creations meet brand guidelines and reminding people to make their GPTs public.

In case you missed it, last year in early November, ChatGPT had its first developer conference dubbed DevDay and announced several new features and developments for the coming period, but some like the GPT stores deployment were held back due to the OpenAI drama in terms of leadership shakeup. (CEO Sam Altman was forced out by OpenAI’s board of directors and then — after investors and employees panicked — brought back on with a new board in place.)
What you need to know is that GPTs don’t require coding experience and can be as simple or complex as a developer wishes. One can model a GPT to give specific geographical information like a syllabus textbook or make a GPT in the form of a mathematical quiz game. It uses the GPT-4 model which means you need to pay to access the GPTs and the GPT Store if you're a ChatGPT Plus and enterprise subscriber.
These customized GPTs have different styles and versions from the developers which can cater for specific user needs in the form of chatting in special chatbot versions. OpenAI has said it plans to figure out a way to pay GPT creators based on how much their AI agents on the store are used, but more of that monetisation plan is yet to be set in motion.
Are you a ChatGPT 4 subscriber and got to build a GPT or planning on building one? Let us know in the comments.
