How to Profit by Selling Custom GPT Agents

TLDR; ChatGPT store is launching, offering a chance for developers to profit by selling custom GPT agents. The store may face low-quality content, but there's potential for significant earnings. The process of building and deploying custom GPT agents is explained.

💰 Profit Opportunity

ChatGPT has well over 100 million daily active users, and developers can profit by selling custom GPT agents to just 1% of the user base for $1 per month.

This presents a lucrative opportunity for developers to potentially become decamillionaires by the end of the year.

🚀 Easy Agent Creation

Creating a custom GPT agent is straightforward. It involves creating a new agent, providing custom instructions and conversation starters, and possibly uploading custom data files.

The barrier to entry is low, making it easy for developers to release their agents on the store.

📱 Competition and Speculation

The GPT store may face competition, as screenshots for Google's B Advanced hint at a potential pay tier and developer Marketplace.

Speculation also surrounds the revenue split and the possibility of a leaderboard for useful creations.

🧠 Agent Ideas

The speaker suggests various agent ideas like controlling smart homes, providing investment advice, and AI personal trainers.

However, the focus shifts to finding trendy AI products, stealing their ideas, and putting them on the GPT store as one of the best ideas.

⚙️ Building an AI Agent

The speaker is building an AI agent for their open-source spellfire library that can remotely execute code, specifically JavaScript in a sandboxed environment on their server.

They explain the process and the use of ChatGPT actions, formerly known as plugins.

⌨️ API Development

The process of building an API for ChatGPT actions is detailed, including adding an ai-plugin JSON file, building a useful API, and ensuring that GPT understands the API using the open API spec.

The speaker introduces the Nitro framework for this purpose.

⚙️ API Deployment and Testing

The final steps involve deploying the API somewhere and testing it in the browser, resulting in the creation of a custom artificial agent that can be exploited for profit through the ChatGPT store.
