Microsoft (MSFT), OpenAI Boost AI Capabilities With GPT Store
Read MoreHide Full Article
Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) and OpenAI, the creator of the popular artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT, are continuously making significant strides that will further solidify their presence in the global chatbot market. The global chatbot market size is expected to hit $7.01 billion in 2024 and reach $20.8 billion by 2029, witnessing a CAGR of 24.3% between 2024 and 2029.
OpenAI has launched the GPT Store to create a marketplace for specialized chatbot agents based on their language models, particularly ChatGPT. This move allows users to buy and sell customized bots beyond what is offered through ChatGPT Plus. Users can develop chatbot agents with unique personalities or themes for various purposes, such as salary negotiation, creating lesson plans and developing recipes.
The store was initially scheduled to open in November but faced delays due to internal upheaval at OpenAI, including the firing and subsequent reappointment of CEO Sam Altman. The company plans to launch a revenue-sharing program in the first quarter, where builders will be compensated based on user engagement with their GPTs, although specific details have not been shared yet.
To feature in the GPT Store, developers have to verify their user profiles and submit their GPTs to OpenAI’s new review system. This involves a mix of human and automated review to ensure the GPTs comply with the company’s terms of use.
OpenAI has emphasized the need for users to ensure that their chatbots adhere to usage policies and brand guidelines. The store is accessible to subscribers of premium services, such as ChatGPT Plus, Enterprise and the new subscription tier called Team, which costs $25 per month for each user. Team subscribers can create custom GPTs for their team’s specific needs.
During a demo day for developers, the company has offered to cover legal costs for developers facing potential copyright law issues related to products based on ChatGPT and OpenAI's technology. OpenAI has been sued multiple times for alleged copyright infringement related to the use of copyrighted text in training its language models.

ChatGPT had about 100 million weekly active users as of November, according to OpenAI, and more than 92% of Fortune 500 companies use the platform.
Alphabet is launching a range of features for Google Bard starting in 2024. The upcoming updates include custom bots, tasks, shared queries, "Power Ups," and a paid "Advanced" tier. Further, Google will introduce new sections in Bard, namely Gallery and Tasks, to showcase its capabilities, including image generation and prompt improvement through the "Power Up" button.
