OK just heard back from Geon @OpenAI support - they said they are currently making updates to the “Create” functionality in the Edit GPT section and don’t have a specific timeline for when this feature will be available again.
Here’s to hopin’ it will be back soon…(11/30?!? perhaps, as some speculate?)
He gave me 3 workarounds but not sure if I’ll be able to resume progress on my projects at full speed…doh!
FULL MESSAGE:
Thank you for reaching out to OpenAI support.
We understand that you’re used to seeing both “Create” and “Configure” options when editing your custom GPTs, but now only the “Configure” tab appears.
We are currently making updates to the “Create” functionality in the Edit GPT section. Unfortunately, we don’t have a specific timeline for when this feature will be available again.
In the meantime, here are a few alternatives and workarounds you can consider:
- Use Existing GPTs: If you have previously created GPTs, you can continue to use and configure them as needed. The “Configure” option should still be available to make adjustments.
- Explore the GPT Store: You can explore the GPT Store to find and use GPTs created by others. This might provide you with similar functionalities or inspire new ways to achieve your goals.
- API Usage: If you are comfortable with using APIs, you can leverage the OpenAI API to create and manage custom models programmatically. This might require some technical knowledge but offers a high degree of flexibility.
We understand that this may be inconvenient, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to improve our platform. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Best,
Geon
OpenAI Support
