## Proposal: ChatGPT Adoption Partner & Affiliate Program Many people discover ChatGPT through experienced users, developers, consultants, and creators who do more than simply recommend the product. They help others **identify useful workflows, configure assistants or agents, understand how ChatGPT fits into their work, and ultimately adopt a paid plan.** I think OpenAI could consider a **ChatGPT Affiliate & Adoption Partner Program** that recognizes this role. A possible model: **Partner introduces ChatGPT → identifies a useful workflow → helps with implementation/onboarding → customer subscribes to Plus or Business → partner receives a referral or adoption incentive.** ### Why not just a normal referral program? Because these partners aren’t simply generating clicks or signups. They can become a **human adoption layer** —helping translate ChatGPT’s capabilities into practical business workflows and encouraging meaningful, long-term usage. For OpenAI, this could potentially support not only customer acquisition, but also: **Educate → Implement → Onboard → Convert → Retain** This could work globally, while being especially valuable in markets where interest in AI is growing faster than practical business adoption. > **ChatGPT Adoption Partner** > _Help people and businesses turn ChatGPT into practical workflows — and participate in the value created when they become paying customers._ I’d personally be interested in participating in such a program and exploring its potential in Indonesia.
