A while ago, ChatGPT's official app store, GPTS Store, was finally launched.
Although it was postponed for nearly two months because of OpenAI's internal "Gong Dou", the popularity of GPTS Store has not gone down during this time.
This time it was officially opened, and the official and developers passed it on in the GPTS StoreMore than 3 million apps, which can be said to be very massive.
This time, in addition to the GPTS Store, OpenAI's newly released content also has a test function. This feature allows you to personalize your GPT and learn from the context of the conversation, so everyone has their own GPT.
At the same time, OpenAI has also launched the ChatGPT Team plan, which can be used by teams of more than two people, with a monthly payment of $30 per person and a discount of $5 if paid annually.
The latter two changes aren't particularly big for the time being, so today, we're going to focus on the most important GPTS store.
In terms of use, as long as you click "Explore GPTS" on the ChatGPT page, you can directly enter the GPTS Store.
However, it is worth noting that although OpenAI officially said that the GPTS Store is open to all Plus users, the editorial department found that there are still accounts that are still stuck in the old interface at the beginning of the test, and there are noneEntrance to the GPTS Store.
In terms of the page design of the store, GPTS Store still continues the minimalist style of OpenAI as always.
The search box at the top can be used to find relevant GPT apps directly, so you don't need to share them through a link like before.
In case you don't know what to use, the official has launched a popular recommendation, with three sections: Featured Weekly, Trending and Officially Developed by ChatGPT, and under each section, there are recommended apps.
In addition, the store has seven subdivisions, such as writing, productivity, programming, lifestyle, and so on.
At first glance, it really feels like you're shopping in the App Store.
This time, we also selected a few practical small programs from them to see if they can help our daily work with just the small programs in the store.
First, we tried Consensus, the second-highest ranking company on the Hot List, which claims to contain 200 million academic results, which is equivalent to an AI academic assistant that is very professional in answering scientific questions.
We asked him why he couldn't drink alcohol after eating cephalosporin, and he replied as follows:
consensus doesn't just answer questions in secondsYou can also list the relevant citations that support the idea, which gives the answer a higher degree of credibility. If you use it as an efficiency tool for writing **, then it should save you a lot of time, which is a scientific research tool.
In terms of efficiency tools, there is also a tool called Alphanotes GPT, which, as the name suggests, can help you distill the key points of lengthy ** and long articles. Analysis, introduction, main points, arguments, background, etc. are all available.
However, this tool is very similar to the more common AI **summary assistant in the comment area of station b, and it won't give people a sense of novelty when it looks at it.
So, let's take a look at a more interesting one, which is also on the recommended hot list, is an icon design tool called Logo Creator.
We tried to make it an icon for the Year of the Dragon, and it didn't rush to draw first, but asked the needs first, such as the choice of style:
It also asked about complexity, whether we needed text, and finally, whether we needed an icon, a letter logo, a mascot logo, or a badge.
Once we had all the selections done, the logo creator designed the icons according to our needs.
This effect is still good, if the requirements are not very high, it is no problem to use it directly.
Overall, compared with the previous beta version, the number of GPTS that can be used is more, and the types are more diverse.
Of course, GPTS Store can do this mainly because it lowers the threshold for GPT application development, allowing users and developers to seamlessly switch between their identities.
For example, now we can refine a GPT in GPT Builder, and it can also be listed in the store, as long as the refined GPT is set to be visible to everyone.
The certification process is also relatively simple, just fill in a name or fill in a ** OK.
At the same time, the fact that Ultraman mentioned at the last OpenAI developer conference that "everyone can use the GPTS store to make money" is also eyebrow-raising.
According to the latest official statement, they are preparing to launch the first developer revenue plan in the first quarter of this year, starting with developers in the United States.
How much money they can make depends entirely on how users use it.
In this way, in addition to startups and indie developers with some development experience, people who have not learned to code can now have multiple ways to make money.
StillThe impact of the low barrier to entry for GPTS development is not all beneficial.
For example, "homogenization", just search for "translation" in the search bar, and a large number of related translation gpts can pop up, and the same is true for other types of gpts.
At the same time,The management of GPTS Store is still very, very chaotic for the time being, and it doesn't even care about duplicate name plagiarism.
For example, in the immediate future, some bloggers shared their experience of plagiarizing GPTS:
In the GPTS Store, the bridge between the real and fake Monkey King is also outrageous,An app can search for a bunch of people with the same name and avatar:
Perhaps, you said that you can tell by the number of evaluations. But what if this data can be manipulated?
Where there is a list, there is data fraudNow the ecology of GPTS Store has been so chaotic that some people are ready to take advantage of loopholes to plan mutual assistance and brush the list:
We believe that OpenAI must pay attention to the GPTS Store ecosystem, butJudging from the current situation, the entire app store is still very chaotic, and if you want to step on the pit less, it mainly depends on the official recommendation.
Overall, GPTS Store is still very useful, but it will take some time to build and maintain the ecosystem.
We believe that this time will not be slow, and 2024 will definitely be the year of the blowout of large model applications. Those big manufacturers who are one step behind OpenAI in the field of large models, after a year of rolling up models, it is time to focus on the application layer.
After all, no matter how well the model is developed, without ecology and application, the final outcome is mostly extinction.
