OpenAI delays launch of custom GPT store to early 2024

December 1, 2023: OpenAI, the Creator of ChatGPT, has postponed the launch of its custom GPT store to early 2024, as revealed in an internal memo reported by Reuters. Initially announced at its first developer conference in November and planned for release later that month, the custom GPTs and store are undergoing further enhancements based on customer feedback. This decision follows a period of internal upheaval, marked by the unexpected removal and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman, influenced by employee threats of resignation. The custom GPTs, designed as early versions of AI assistants capable of performing tasks like booking flights, will also enable users to share their GPTs and potentially earn revenue based on user engagement.
