GPTs are customized ChatGPT agents for specific tasks, which can be created without coding and easily shared. They can be configured with a custom system prompt, given access to documents and APIs for live data, and can use built-in features of ChatGPT like web browsing, analysis, and image generation. OpenAI has plans to launch a GPT Store for monetization and there are possibilities for affiliate marketing and drop shipping.
