During the Q&amp;A, they elaborated on the big news that had just been shared onstage: OpenAI is launching a <a href="/2023/11/6/23948957/openai-chatgpt-gpt-custom-developer-platform">platform for creating and discovering custom versions of ChatGPT</a>. </p><p>There are natural parallels to draw between OpenAI’s GPT Store, which is set to go live in a few weeks, and the debut of the iPhone’s App Store in 2008. Like Apple way back then, OpenAI is inviting developers who are excited about this new wave of technology to hopefully help create a new, enduring platform. </p><p><span><a href="/2023/11/7/23951673/openai-chatgpt-store-ai-devday">Read Article &gt;</a></span></p></div></div></div></li><li id="stream-entry-77700592-d2f1-44a0-8cd3-d85cdf2d8b55" role="article"><div><div><div><div><div><p><span><img alt="Alex Heath" data-nimg="fill" decoding="async" src="R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"></img></span></p></div><div><p>OpenAI’s GPT builder interface is dead simple to use.</p><p><a href="/2023/11/6/23948619/openai-chatgpt-devday-developer-conference-news">Here at DevDay</a>, I’ve been watching demos of OpenAI employees <a href="/2023/11/6/23948957/openai-chatgpt-gpt-custom-developer-platform">building custom GPT agents</a>.
