OpenAI introduces a new feature with special GPTs that fit seamlessly into the context of your conversation.

OpenAI wants to take your conversation to the next level with ChatGPT. From now on, paying users can choose between specialized GPTs or generative, pre-trained transformers. Each of these GPTs has a different personality and unique level of performance that allows them to elevate the conversation. After the GPT Builder feature and GPT Store, OpenAI continues to delight users with new features, even if they sometimes miss the mark.

Homemade GPTs

In November last year, OpenAI gave ChatGPT users the ability to create, test and refine such GPTs themselves, without the need for programming knowledge. These could be created for private use or shared among colleagues. As a follow-up, a GPT store was opened where developers can sell their homemade GPTs.

You can now embed GPTs into any conversation in ChatGPT – just type @ and select the GPT.

There are more and more options around GPTs. ChatGPT paying users now have access to the standard ChatGPT interface. If you use the “@” symbol here, a popup will appear with a list of custom GPTs. For example, there may be a GPT that helps with coding or offers health advice. In theory, the selected GPT fits seamlessly into the conversation, allowing you to take the conversation to a higher level in that context. At the moment the feature doesn’t seem to work for us with a ChatGPT Plus subscription.

Not so popular

The self-built GPTs have so far missed their target. From now on, anyone can publish their own GPT, but not always with the right goal in mind. For example, GPTs designed to answer questions about sexual topics or GPTs that answered in the style of certain politicians appeared on the platform. OpenAI has removed these apps, although they will appear more and more frequently as the tool expands. The company wants to continue to focus on productivity, education and fun.
