You’ve created your own AI-powered GPT chatbot using OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology. And you think your GPT might prove helpful or interesting to other people. Now that OpenAI’s GPT store is open for business, you can publish your GPT so that other ChatGPT subscribers can take it for a spin. And if your GPT is popular enough, you may even earn a bit of money from it down the road, though OpenAI hasn’t revealed any details on that option just yet.

Here’s how to create your own custom chatbots using ChatGPT

Any ChatGPT subscriber can create and publish their own GPT. Before you can publish a GPT using the Builder profile tool, you’ll need to verify your profile with either your name or a website domain. After being verified, you’ll be able to post your chatbot for other subscribers to see.

You can publish your GPT immediately after creating it or publish it after you’ve already saved it privately. After a review process by OpenAI, your GPT will show up in the GPT Store. To check, click Explore GPTs in the sidebar. You can always browse the category that your GPT was assigned. But an easier option is to search for it. In the search field, start typing the name of your GPT or your own name or domain name depending on which one you chose in the Profile builder.
