On November 6, 2023, OpenAI announced Custom GPTs. Since then, over 3 million GPTs have been created, with over 200.000 of them made publicly available. Fundamentally, Custom GPTs come with pre-configured actions and capabilities (e.g., do something in app “X”), as well as specific embedded knowledge for the task they have been built for. That also means that instead of users having to turn plugins on & off manually, they can switch conversations depending on the task, which usually is way quicker and more intuitive.
No, GPTs are not accessible to all, just to ChatGPT Plus users, that makes it very hard to let others try them.
The uploading of files is restricted to 20 files. The docs say that a PDF can have a size of 512MB, in reality its much less. Furthermore it complains in many cases that large PDFs contain too much text…
In case you really get your 7 GB of data into a GPT it doesn’t let you save it.
It’s really a struggle and OpenAI should work on clear and actionable error messages at least.
Agree, and I especially love the @mention feature But what’s really annoying is the usage cap that cuts me off several times a day. That why working with the assistants API directly through Bots etc is even better ;-)
