The launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT Store marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of artificial intelligence, akin to the release of the Apple App Store in 2008 and the Shopify App Store in 2009. As the storefront goes live, it’s a blank slate: zero agents and zero revenue. Yet, the potential is staggering — a nascent opportunity poised to explode into millions of agents and billions in revenue.

Starting Out

Creating a GPT, or what we can call an AI agent, is super easy these days. You don’t need to be a tech whiz or a coding guru. If you’ve got an idea, you can turn it into a GPT agent in no time. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it happen:

Step 1: The Idea

Everything starts with an idea. What do you want your GPT agent to do? Help folks save money? Be a math tutor for kids? The sky’s the limit. Once you have your idea, you’re ready to roll.

Step 2: Access the Builder

Head over to the GPT Builder on OpenAI’s platform. You’ll need to sign in with your account, or create one if you haven’t got it yet.

Step 3: Pick a Model

You’ve got options like GPT-3.5 or GPT-4. These are the brains of your agent. Choose one based on what you need. Each has its own perks.

Step 4: Teach It
