ChatGPT's latest innovation, GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers), introduces customizable AI chatbots for specific purposes. These versions enhance daily life, work, or home experiences by offering personalized assistance. The creation process requires no coding skills, making it accessible to everyone.
Creating a GPTs is as easy as having a conversation. Users provide instructions and additional knowledge to tailor the AI's capabilities, such as web searching, image creation, or data analysis. This user-friendly process democratizes AI technology, allowing anyone to build and customize their own GPTs.
Current examples of GPTs include integrations with Canva and Zapier AI Actions, available for ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users. These applications demonstrate the effectiveness of GPTs in various business and technology processes.
The upcoming GPT Store will feature GPTs created by verified builders, providing a platform for showcasing and sharing innovative AI solutions. Creators can earn based on the popularity and usage of their GPTs.
User privacy and security are central to the design of GPTs. OpenAI ensures that user interactions with GPTs remain confidential, and data sharing with third-party APIs is controlled by the user. New systems have been implemented to review GPTs against strict usage policies.
As GPTs evolve, they are expected to perform real-world tasks, moving towards being "agents" in AI. This development requires careful technical and safety work, emphasizing societal adaptation.
Developers can expand GPTs' capabilities by integrating APIs, allowing them to interact with external data and the real world. This feature opens up possibilities for GPTs to be used in diverse applications like e-commerce, database management, and more.
