OpenAI has officially launched its GPT Store, a platform that allows users to create custom versions of ChatGPT in just minutes and share them with others. This exciting feature was first hinted at by Adam Goldberg during the AI Summit in New York last December, and since then, it has garnered significant attention. Currently, over three million unique versions of ChatGPT have been built, and users can potentially earn money if their bots gain popularity.
### Accessing the GPT Store
The GPT Store is available for users subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, Enterprise, and the new Team plan. To dive into this innovative platform, simply visit [GPT Store](https://chat.openai.com/gpts).
### Customizing ChatGPT for Teams
The Team plan offers businesses the ability to tailor the chatbot specifically for their needs. Team members can access a private section of the GPT Store, enabling them to create customized versions of ChatGPT in a secure environment. The pricing for the Team plan is $25 per user per month when billed annually, or $30 if billed monthly.
### Creating Your Own GPT Made Easy
Building a custom GPT is a straightforward process, requiring no programming skills. For example, a simple creation like the Beaver Bot—which generates images of beavers in response to any query—has been crafted using only text inputs.
To create your GPT, you start by describing your desired features in plain language. From there, the system takes over. You can assign a name, design a logo, and outline the instructions for how you want your bot to engage with users.
### Expanding Your GPT’s Capabilities
As part of the creation process, users have the option to upload reference files, further enriching their GPT's knowledge base. Other powerful features, including web browsing, DALL-E for image generation, and the Code Interpreter tool, can also be integrated into your custom bot.
Additionally, GPTs can retrieve information from outside sources by incorporating external APIs. A preview of your bot will be available on the right side of the screen, allowing for real-time adjustments as you refine its functionality.
### Showcasing Your GPT in the Store
Once your GPT is ready, you can feature it in the GPT Store by following a few simple steps:
1. Save your GPT as viewable by 'Everyone.' If you choose 'anyone with a link,' your GPT won’t be shown in the store.
2. Verify your Builder Profile. This involves visiting the settings and enabling your name or linking a verified website.
Among the top featured GPTs at the store's launch are **Consensus**, a research assistant tool for academic papers; **Ai PDF**, which can manage PDF files up to 2GB; and **Grimoire**, a coding tool specifically designed for website creation.
The GPT Store categorizes its offerings into various sectors, including image generation, writing, research, programming, education, and lifestyle, catering to a diverse audience.
### Monetizing Your Creation
A revenue program for GPT builders is set to launch in the U.S. in Q1, with plans to expand to other regions. Creators will earn income based on user engagement with their custom GPTs, providing an exciting opportunity for innovation and financial reward.
