Create Your Own Moneymaker on OpenAI’s GPT Store?

GitHub’s AI coding assistant, called Copilot, has gone from an experiment to a moneymaker.

“We are happy about the growing positive margins the product has” — Thomas Dohmke, CEO, GitHub

Now, everyone can create his/her own moneymaker. On Monday, OpenAI announced the GPT Store — the App Store for chatbots, or we can say AI agents. In our previous article, we believed the future of AI is Agents, but we never thought this future was coming true so quickly, in 4 months!

Think of the foundational apps your iPhone has, and how the App Store revolutionized accessibility by enabling any developer to create and monetize their own applications. This concept has been mirrored by platforms such as Shopify, Salesforce, and Android, fostering thriving ecosystems of businesses.

The GPT Store aims to specialize ChatGPT’s versatility for specific industries or tasks. Whether it’s startup guidance, trend analysis, or summarizing digital content, these specialized GPTs are crafted using simple language, no coding required.

Take event planning, for example. Instead of navigating the generalist prompts of ChatGPT, event organizers can turn to a bespoke Event Planning GPT. This version could integrate essential planning tools and documents, update in real-time with local regulations, and manage event timelines all within the ChatGPT interface.

The opportunity here is immense. Tailoring a GPT to simplify a particular task by tenfold compared to using standard ChatGPT prompts could not only streamline that task but also pave the way for a lucrative side business. This could involve:

• Creating a GPT from a curated set of your most effective ChatGPT prompts, like crafting premier press releases.
• Consolidating niche information that’s challenging to locate but invaluable to others, such as datasets, standards, or proprietary guidelines.

For the innovators and early adopters out there, this is your moment to lead the charge and carve out your niche.

Next Evolution in AI Agent

Building on the foundation of The GPT Store, it’s crucial to recognize that while current AI agents excel at generating content to inform better decision-making, the next evolution in AI Agents will focus on task execution to enhance human productivity.

iMean AI embodies this evolution. It’s not just about providing data; it’s about actionable assistance. It extends beyond mere information gathering to actively performing tasks. Here are two key points about iMean AI:

1. Task Execution: iMean AI isn’t just about providing data; it’s about taking action. Where other agents stop at supplying content for human-led decisions, iMean AI goes a step further by executing tasks, streamlining workflows, and significantly boosting productivity.
2. Advanced Assistance: Specifically, in the realm of online shopping, iMean AI can interact with e-commerce platforms to perform price comparisons, track price history, and aggregate product information. This isn’t just about making recommendations; it’s about iMean AI carrying out the legwork to ensure you’re making the most informed purchases possible.

This represents the full potential of AI agents — not just assistants, but doers, capable of enhancing every aspect of our digital interactions.
