OpenAI aims to encourage the widespread use of GPT applications, which benefit from its artificial intelligence models, by allowing ChatGPT users to use them within any conversation.
Those using ChatGPT and paying from today onwards are now able to add GPT to the chat by typing the symbol @ and then selecting GPT from the displayed list.
Users can easily integrate GPT bots into chats by tagging them in a way that closely resembles how someone is mentioned on a platform like Slack.
The selected GPT has the ability to understand the dialogue comprehensively, and the user can summon a variety of GPT bots to meet diverse scenarios and unique requirements.
OpenAI mentioned in a tweet: “This allows you to fully integrate GPT bots related to the conversation content.”
This feature works to enhance the value of GPT by reducing the effort required to run it and improving the utilization rate.
This initiative aims to enhance the discoverability of GPT systems after the launch of a dedicated GPT store, which serves as a marketplace for various GPT system applications accessible through the ChatGPT interface.
The store serves as a place to discover unique and useful GPT versions developed by users.
Developing GPT systems does not require deep programming knowledge, and applications of these systems can vary in complexity levels from simple to complex as desired by the developer.
Currently, there are limited editions of GPT models, including the GPT model used to suggest hiking trails from AllTrails, the GPT model for programming education from Khan Academy, and the GPT model tailored for content creation from Canva, for example.
OpenAI is working on a feature that allows developers to generate profits by selling access to GPTs, but before that, it needs to boost the demand and frequency of visits to the GPT store.
According to statistics from the Sameweb platform specializing in internet analytics, the entry rate to the GPT service represents approximately 2.7% of the total visits to the ChatGPT service globally, and this number of visits has been decreasing month by month since November of last year.
Content moderation poses an additional challenge, as emotionally suggestive chat applications flooded the GPT store in the first week of its launch, constituting an explicit violation of OpenAI’s terms of use.
Fast programmers also quickly developed robot systems used in election campaigns, constituting another explicit violation of the rules set by OpenAI.
Since then, OpenAI has removed some non-compliant applications and claims to rely on a mix of manual and automated checks to detect applications that violate the rules of using GPTs.
If the use of GPT applications expands as the company aspires, the issue is likely to become more complex.
