OpenAI Launches GPT Store and ChatGPT Team Amid AI Race
OpenAI introduces a new GPT Store for sharing custom chatbots and a ChatGPT Team plan for smaller businesses. These launches mark the company's major return to product development following recent leadership turmoil.
OpenAI debuts two major offerings as it pushes forward after its recent leadership chaos, launching the GPT Store and ChatGPT Team. The GPT Store functions much like an app marketplace where users share and download customized AI chatbots, currently featuring millions of user-created GPTs across categories like writing and education.
ChatGPT Team serves as a smaller business tier designed for companies with up to 150 users, costing $25 per user monthly when billed annually. This tier provides a shared workspace and allows teams to create their own internal GPTs, bridging the gap between standard consumer accounts and the premium Enterprise plan.
These moves highlight OpenAI's strategy to monetize its platform and stay ahead of fierce rivals like Google, Anthropic, and Meta in the competitive AI landscape. With 100 million weekly active users and the majority of Fortune 500 companies already on board, OpenAI plans to launch a revenue program soon that pays GPT creators based on user engagement.
