OpenAI has launched an online store for custom GPTs. The online marketplace allows users to share their own custom chatbots called GPTs.

GPTs are tailored versions of ChatGPT created for a specific purpose, for example - A GPT that suggests alternatives for commonly used words. This expands the capabilities of ChatGPT by handing over the reins to the community to create and share.

Enterprise users will have additional enhanced admin controls like choosing what GPTs can be shared, and allow them to keep track of which GPTs are used internally in the organization.

Besides the store, OpenAI also added a subscription tier for smaller teams. Team customers get a private section of the GPT store, which allows them to browse and publish GPTs securely.
