Any tips on speeding up API turn-arounds?

Due to OpenAI’s super annoying decision not to just allow users to create and monetize their own stores (I get that they’re doing this to eventually take all of the top performing free GPTs and absorb them into the system, screwing over the creator community for their own profits) I have to hook this very bad API up to things like Make and Wized to even mimic custom GPT functionality.

Is there a better way to do this? Or another AI platform that can connect a custom trained (I’m not talking anything crazy, just the instructions) GPT-like model?

I’m guessing my problem is that I have to load a lot of prompting into the make webhook hand-offs in order to get the correct outputs, and display it with Wized. But I’m the non-coding partner in my endeavor so I’m not super familiar with it, even if I go through this painstakingly long process of building and optimizing it for proper outputs - I STILL have to do that for EVERY SINGLE thing I’m trying to make.

It’s taking forever.

How are all of these people like Jasper, You, and other similar companies doing this - does anyone know?

Any tips would help because I just feel like there’s a better way, and with how it’s currently built - it’s almost easier to use botpress or something else so I must be missing something.

It would be infinitely easier to just hook my CustomGPTs up to something like a Parsley + Airtable to have it infinitely learn and develop without giving away anything to OpenAI but without that I have to use the Make Automator + Wized to display it.

Am I crazy or doing this way wrong?

Any help is appreciated,
Josh

Good that you recognize that CustomGPTs is just giving up your prompts, content et al to OpenAI (and you end up paying OpenAI for that!)

I had no idea about Wized, Parsley, Airtable etc. But just so that I am on the right track, I think that you just need a way to display your creations with an end-user interface such as this below:

Did I get that right? If so, you could do all of this in a backend like Flask and front end like Svelte.
