Consumers are advised to save the instructions for their GPTs for reference or cancel their Copilot Pro subscriptions, as all GPTs and related data will be removed from the platform. The decision to discontinue GPT Builder so soon after its launch indicates that Microsoft is focusing on commercial viability in its AI initiatives, and will only support them as long as it makes commercial sense to do so.
Key takeaways:
- Microsoft is retiring its GPT Builder for consumers on July 10, for unspecified reasons.
- Customers are advised to save their GPT instructions for reference as all data will be deleted.
- Despite this, Microsoft remains committed to supporting the technology for enterprise and commercial use.
- Consumers can't take significant action in response to this retirement, except to save their GPT instructions or cancel their Copilot Pro subscriptions.
