OpenAI is preparing to unveil its highly-anticipated GPT Store. Through email correspondence to the GPT Builders user community, OpenAI has notified creators that the storefront allowing users to sell and exchange custom AI agents built on OpenAI’s language models is slated for imminent release. 

The GPT Store will let ChatGPT  Plus and Enterprise subscribers craft specialised AI agents for purposes ranging from explaining internet slang to aiding in negotiations.   

Users can already access custom GPTs via ChatGPT Plus’s Explore tab, but the store will allow them to share and potentially monetise their own versions.  

However, OpenAI is yet to provide details on plans to compensate creators based on usage of their agents. In its email announcement, OpenAI encouraged builders to make their AI widely accessible but emphasised adhering to brand guidelines. 

Initially supposed to be debuting in November, the GPT Store saw postponements likely due to the whirlwind of leadership changes at OpenAI last fall. Sam Altman stepped down as CEO  in November only to return to the role in December, causing any launches to be placed on the backburner.
