OpenAI just opened its custom GPT Store to all free ChatGPT users, unlocking access to millions of tailored bots previously kept behind a paywall. The move massively widens the audience for GPT creators, though you'll still need a paid subscription if you want to build and publish your own.
OpenAI just got caught with a major moderation headache as TechCrunch found its official GPT Store overrun with spam, copyright infringements, and tools designed to bypass AI detectors. Despite automated and human review tiers, unregulated bots mimicking Disney franchises or celebrities like Elon Musk continue to pass through. Why it matters: If OpenAI wants the store to be its lucrative App Store moment, lax quality control and looming IP disputes could kill developer monetization before it takes off.
OpenAI just updated the GPT Store with a 1-to-5 star rating system and private creator feedback. Builders can now also link their LinkedIn, X, and websites on expanded profile pages while tracking total conversation stats. The promised revenue-sharing model, however, is still nowhere to be seen.
IKEA just launched an official AI assistant exclusively in OpenAI's GPT Store to help users design their living spaces. You can tell it your room dimensions, style, and budget, and it will browse the catalog to suggest matching furniture and check local stock. It is currently limited to ChatGPT Plus subscribers in the U.S., with plans to expand globally.
OpenAI just confirmed in an email to developers that its GPT Store will finally launch next week after being delayed by November's leadership chaos. The platform will let creators share, discover, and monetize custom bots through a usage-based revenue-sharing model. It could be the long-awaited App Store moment for AI agents.
OpenAI just delayed the launch of its GPT Store until next year after a chaotic couple of weeks dealing with Sam Altman's ouster and reinstatement. The marketplace will allow users to share and monetize custom chatbots, but the company says unexpected events kept it busy. In the meantime, OpenAI has rolled out a few usability updates to the custom GPT builder.
OpenAI just launched GPTs, allowing users to create tailored versions of ChatGPT simply by chatting with a builder and plugging in custom instructions, files, and external APIs. A GPT Store is coming later this month with leaderboards and future revenue sharing. It basically turns everyone into an AI app builder, available now to Plus and Enterprise users.
