OpenAI announces GPTs. These are versions of ChatGPT that you can configure individually so that the chatbot optimally supports you with the tasks that are important to you. There will also be a shop for exchanging such individually configured GPTs.

Man of all, master of none: ChatGPT today has a breadth of knowledge to appeal to a large audience. OpenAI is rightly aware that most people use the AI ​​chatbot for a handful of specific tasks. The AI ​​company is now responding to this by announcing GPTs. GPTs are derivatives of ChatGPT that are configured for specific purposes. Users can create them themselves, no code required. Exchanging GPTs will also be an option.

Create a chatbot with a chatbot

The system builds on the customizability previously introduced by OpenAI. Build your own GPT via GPT Builder, which in turn is a conversational AI. There you decide through a type of intake interview what type of digital assistant you would like to work with. Through this conversation you can determine behavior and style, but also add additional knowledge. Through APIs, developers can give custom GPTs access to advanced features such as a mailbox or database.

Enterprise customers can create their own GPTs internally for personal use. The ChatGPT brothers respect the same policies and privacy rules. If you want, you can also share GPTs with colleagues or third parties. OpenAI will make this easier through a newly announced GPT Store. Popular assistants automatically appear in the foreground and developers have the opportunity to earn money with their variants.

OpenAI provides some examples of what such GPTs can be. We see a writing coach who can give feedback on your work, a chef who can create recipes based on your preferences and available ingredients, a math mentor for kids who want to learn math, a sticker generator. Each personality has individual settings that ensure answers better fit specific questions. In fact, much of the leadership interview is conducted in advance for specific prompts so that the assistant enters the interview with the proper prior knowledge of your expectations.

Availability

OpenAI is currently introducing the customizable GPTs. In theory they are immediately available to ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Enterprise customers, but in practice we still see an error message with a matching subscription. You can try it yourself via chat.openai.com/create. The GPT Store will be released online later this month.
