ChatGPT users should now expect another feature update from OpenAI. The artificial intelligence (AI) company has begun rolling out access to GPTs, its purpose-built mini chatbots, globally. Even those on the free level of ChatGPT can interact with these chatbots and use them for specific tasks. The company’s GPT Store has a large number of chatbots that can help users with writing, productivity, research and analysis, programming, or just conversations in specific styles. Several software companies have also created and published brand-specific GPTs.
OpenAI extends GPTs to all users
Prior to OpenAI’s Spring Update event, held earlier this month, GPTs were a premium feature only available to paid subscribers of the platform. However, during the event, the company announced that these chatbots will soon be available to everyone. Gadgets 360 was finally able to access GPTs via the GPT Store on Thursday. The feature should reach all users worldwide in the coming days.
However, there is one caveat. Although free ChatGPT users can access and interact with GPTs, they will not be able to create new chatbots. The ability to create new GPTs with textual instructions and optionally with a specific database is not extended to the free tier.
It should be noted that GPTs are not chatbots for general conversations like ChatGPT. They are often limited in scope and will not be able to answer a wide range of queries. Users, however, can get more accurate answers since they act like little language models.
Interesting GPTs to use
Although there is a large catalog to choose from, we have come across a few interesting options for you to try. The first is Adobe Express from Adobe, which can design social media posts, flyers, and more with Adobe Express. The chatbot can also generate images with certain text requests. Khan Academy’s Tutor Me chatbot is another useful tool. It can help users with math, science, and humanities homework by helping them solve problems instead of solving them for them.
Other interesting GPTs include Canva, Code Copilot, Cartoonize Yourself, as well as OpenAI’s Data Analyst and Planty. So far, we have not encountered any restrictions in interacting with these GPTs, but we cannot confirm their absence either.
