Unfortunately, I think the answer is they’re letting their family and friends front-run and dig their headstart in against us, along with the attendees who received a $500 grant to do so as well.

But we should be allowed to join this race within a week or two I imagine.

Btw, if you want to use actions in custom GPT you need to build a plugin and it must be in the pluginstore. else it does not work…

So if you want to start developing, just start with the plugin and get it accepted.

And to test it just use custom instructions. Because the custom GPT is not much more than a chat that helps you create custom instructions… and it is not really good to be honest.

Better write the instructions by yourself.

Is this true?
There is no waitlist for plug-in developer access any longer and if one does not have that access, yet, there is zero chance to get access to the custom GPTs/Actions?

I hope not…

I hope the naming conventions are more diligent than on the other plugins on-platform interface. Some didn’t get a free $500 and my $18 is expired so it’s on my dime if i accidently reupload an image they way-oversized. But now I guess I see one reason they did it if it costs so much to send it back up to it.

Anyway, I like this company but I don’t like this disadvantage.
On Platform (pay per token), you can make ‘assistants’ already, but maybe the trick will be that those don’t convert right in when we have our ability to put selectable usable things up before the store gets full, and the poor-quality search of it leaves most plugins nearly undiscoverable. Why is ‘new’ arranged in alphabetical order instead of new for example.

To answer my own question, I believe from this interview with Logan Kilpatrick that all users will eventually be able to create GPTs, but am actually not 100% sure.

I’ve seen within 1-2 weeks the projected delay.
Not bad in the grand scheme but i think this first mover advantage will be much bigger than on most platforms. Then add in ease of use (after learning it)
It is not good.

Business as usual I guess.
We just deliver more value and communicate better :slight_smile:

Even I am waiting for this feature. I am a plus user and also run a funded company in gaming, where I want to use GPTs to level up our games. If someone from openAI is reading this, please allow access to my account. Thanks.

I am definitely not friends and family, and I wasn’t at the conference, but I got access hours after the release. I have various plugins in the store, and maybe that makes a difference.

You may have unintentionally inserted the word ‘only’ in there. But I agree there are lots of people running wild on there right now.

Thanks for the tip. Maybe i’ll try to submit one for approval to speed it up.
I’ve had features added to my console after pressing the thumbs up for the first time in months too as something that might help someone, maybe. Doing what they actually want you to do there (paying customer or not)

While we waiting to have access to OpenAI GPTs, I am happy to share what I have been working on where you can create your own GPT and share without writing code.

Do I think OpenAI disrupted my idea? Not really. I am happy my idea was validated - there are more things to create. It is an experimental project to showcase my capability. I hope someone will give it a try and provide me some feedback.

I just created a GPT to represent me in an interview. It is fun that one can create this in few few clicks.

I am unable to share the links.

Thank you.

Thanks; very generous with time moving so fast these days to offer some of yours but there are some examples around the internet, thankfully.

Though i’m curious to see it anyway if you want to display some screenshots or inputs for your bot or plugin. or especially the interfaces or info you used to make it.

I kinda get the general idea though from some of their “competitors” in the chatbot space.

Has anyone here been able to gain access to GPTs?

yep, it hit yesterday for me. I hope you get access soon friends. https://chat.openai.com/g/g-xxQKCooXT-ahagpt

Thanks, I saw Altman said he did intend to get it to all the ‘subscribers’ on monday even but the servers are getting smacked I guess. I believe him. That’s more in line with what i would have expected too so i know i feel better. congrats on the access

Yeah, I’d imagine it’s a scaling issue. Probably why the one presenter “had to leave to hunt for GPUs” as more people get access to GPTs, more users become active using more resources. Probably related to the micro-outages that have been hitting since monday.

Good luck.

Same here. From Singapore and Jakarta. Can someone from OpenAI confirm what’s going on here?

Waiting inpatient. can you tell us how we can speed up the process?
