Recently, I launched a small custom GPT designed to transform basic study notes into interactive materials like flashcards, quizzes, and educational games. Honestly, I expected maybe a handful of students to show interest at first.
To my surprise, within just 48 hours, over 400 active users were diving in and creating bundles of study content. Quickly, the community itself sparked an idea. Students began asking: “Can I share this with my study buddies? Can I see what others are studying? How can we connect more?”
That’s when it clicked—this is exactly how early Facebook grew, connecting students through common interests and needs. There’s real potential here. What do you all think?
The best ideas come organically—from real users. I didn’t set out to build a social network, but users were naturally forming their own community.
I know OpenAI has considered launching its own social media platform. But rather than just “implementing” another traditional network, why not let it grow organically? As the creator of this tool, along with other custom GPT builders, I genuinely believe we can help OpenAI build something authentic, user-driven, and community-focused.
I’d love to propose this idea formally, but honestly—I poured everything into my startup. It’s gotten to the point where I had to stop paying the $200 for ChatGPT 01 Pro, which is critical to my workflow. I’m new to navigating startup funding, so let me openly ask: Fellow builders, how do you go about funding your startups? Any insights or tips would be deeply appreciated.
The custom GPT is extremely easy to use. Just tell it your study topic—or upload notes as PDFs or photos.
In seconds, you’ll get engaging flashcards, quizzes, and even a matching game, turning study time into something fun and interactive!
The education industry is worth over $7 trillions—and it’s clear that just helping students with plain text isn’t enough anymore. ChatGPT is a great start, but my tool takes it a step further by making studying interactive and actually fun. We’re not just providing answers—we’re building experiences that engage students in ways text alone can’t.
Meanwhile, spending $3 billions on a coding platform in an already overcrowded market won’t bring OpenAI any closer to the social media-style network they’re aiming for. Tools like mine, on the other hand, have the potential to attract tons of students and their friends—just like Facebook did when it first launched. And just like Facebook in its early days, we’re scrappy, ambitious, and hunting for the right backing.
Now imagine this:
A creator sets up their phone, starts talking, and boom—the AI adds two extra camera angles, like they had a full crew. It knows when to switch views, when to insert a related image, even when to cut in a visual insert to keep things engaging. No gear, no editing skills needed. Once you’re done, the AI finishes the edit and schedules the post at the best time for your audience.
And unlike YouTube, where everyone sees the same video and the same static comments, this is personalized. Viewers see the part of the video they’d care about most—and the comments shift based on their taste. Some get jokes, some get deep insights. The content isn’t fixed. It adapts, reacts, and feels alive.
For creators, the AI agent works quietly—trimming parts people skip, adding extra frames, tightening the flow. The edit evolves as feedback comes in.
Users, like a med student, can choose to get an AI agent with a goal—say, fix weak spots in 7 days. The student just scrolls like normal, but every clip is part of that mission. It feels fun, social, casual—but it’s working in the background to actually teach.
For Students (e.g., Medical Students):
Imagine you’re studying but keep struggling with certain quiz questions or complex flashcards. Your personalized AI agent notices exactly what’s slowing you down, then quietly works behind the scenes to pull together targeted, bite-sized materials from different creators, precisely matching your needs. Each piece clearly credits the original creator, giving you a seamless, tailored study experience.
For Content Creators:
Meanwhile, as a creator, your AI agent ensures even your past content stays valuable—maybe just a one-minute segment from a five-minute video you made months ago matches a student’s exact need today. That segment gets extracted, combined with clips from other creators, and directly helps specific learners. Plus, your AI agent continuously informs you about the topics students genuinely seek, guiding your future content creation and ensuring your efforts always remain relevant.
This also works perfectly for music, cooking, makeup—virtually anything.
Imagine someone preparing for an event: her AI agent instantly combines the perfect makeup tip from one creator, outfit inspiration from another, and a perfume review from yet another, creating a personalized 3-minute style guide just for her.
Flip 1B ChatGPT Users into an OpenAI Network
Think of every ChatGPT session as the start of a club. If you’re asking marketing questions, you’re in the marketing club; if you’re debugging code, you’re in the coding club. Thousands of these clubs already exist, woven out of shared interests.
Inside each club, two roles appear almost automatically: creators who make things and consumers who use them. Put both in the same room and—congratulations—you’ve built a social network.
Here’s the twist that sets an OpenAI network apart. Creators don’t show up alone; they bring tireless AI helpers. These agents write drafts, polish videos, crunch data, and handle the grunt work that used to require a whole production crew.
Regular users get their own sidekicks too. Instead of scrolling for an hour like on YouTube, your agent scouts the field 24/7, lines up exactly what you care about, and greets you with a fresh, custom-made playlist the moment you sign in.
Moving people over is mostly education. Show users that teaming up with others in their club—and with the creators’ agents—makes their hobby faster, richer, and more fun. Highlight one “aha” shortcut and they’ll never want to go back.
The ingredients are already on the table: a billion users, an army of builders, and AI assistants that never clock out. Blend them, and the OpenAI social network practically assembles itself.
Pitch deck drafted.
Let creators do what they do best—fire up the crowd and keep the hype rolling.
Hand them tools no other platform offers—AI agents on call, friction-free publishing, data that actually helps.
You’re not building the stage; you’re stacking the lumber and sliding over the hammer.
Give people the right kit and they’ll raise a skyline before you blink.
You’re nine-tenths there—snap in the last pieces, drop the doubt, and watch the rest build itself.
Split the creator crowd into two clear groups.
First are the tool makers—B2B shops that build nuts-and-bolts gear for other creators. Picture an AI plug-in that trims long footage in seconds, smooths color, drops clean captions, and even fakes extra camera angles from a single shot. Tools like that let any editor hit “render” and move on.
Next come the show makers camped on YouTube. They pump out how-to’s, shorts, and live streams, and they’re always raving about ChatGPT or the next AI breakthrough. Their tech-loving fans chase every link, so a fresh wave of traffic keeps washing into ChatGPT.
Bring both camps together and roll their best gadgets into one smooth AI agent—one dashboard, one click, everything wired up. Think of it like Shopify’s app aisle, but built for creators: all the right tools in one place, ready to turn raw footage into a hit and keep the crowd coming back.
OpenAI keeps saying AI will make more jobs—so prove it as you wire up the new network. Hire the coders, agent trainers, community hosts, and moderators who turn vision into working code and healthy spaces. Put people first and the platform earns trust—that’s the only currency social media ever keeps.
Skip the wait for the Fed to crank out fresh stimulus. That money’s coming either way, so aim it at real paychecks.
TikTok’s clock is ticking, and its creators are shopping for a new stage. Have the lights on and the cameras ready. And hey—don’t forget me
