GPTs (GPT Store)
GPTs (GPT Store) is an OpenAI platform for building, publishing and sharing custom chatbots based on ChatGPT.
Overview
The GPT Store is a platform built by OpenAI where you can create and publish GPTs, chatbots based on ChatGPT and tailored to specific uses. It was announced in October 2023 and opened in January 2024. It is designed so that GPTs can be built without programming knowledge.
Creators use the editor on the ChatGPT site to set a GPT's name, image, description, instructions, external API connections (Actions) and visibility. The store groups GPTs into categories such as programming, education and research, and users can rate them with stars.
It suits practitioners and teams who want to quickly build conversational assistants for repetitive work. Creators must follow OpenAI's usage policies, such as not revealing private information without permission.
