OpenAI's GPTs (Generative Pre-training Transformers) allow users to create custom chatbots that can interact with other users. The author explores the features of GPTs, including the ability to configure a GPT, the use of JavaScript Code Interpreter, and the ability to access API endpoints. However, the author notes that the documentation provided by OpenAI is limited and the platform has some limitations, such as the inability to use GPTs unless you are a $20/month ChatGPT Plus subscriber. The author also highlights the potential security risks of GPTs, as any information added to a GPT can potentially be accessed by a user. Despite these challenges, the author sees potential in GPTs as a tool for building conversational interfaces for various applications.
Key takeaways:
OpenAI's GPTs allow users to create custom GPT chatbots that other Plus subscribers can interact with.
The GPTs can be configured with a name, logo, description, custom instructions, conversation starters, uploaded files, and optional actions.
The GPTs can also be integrated with Code Interpreter, Browse mode, and Actions, providing more advanced capabilities.
However, the knowledge feature, which allows GPTs to use uploaded files to help answer questions, has not been working effectively and lacks sufficient documentation.
