A little over a month after OpenAI launched its much-hyped GPT Store for third-party users to create and share custom chatbots with the world, the company is further expanding the marketplace to include user ratings and more builder profile information.
Yet, the whole idea behind the store — that OpenAI would share revenue with GPT creators based on how often their custom GPTs were used — remains elusive.
Ratings and private feedback
OpenAI announced the updates to the GPT Store on the social network X (formerly Twitter), including an animated GIF demonstrating where users of third-party GPTs can access the ability to rate them, using a dropdown menu below that GPT’s name in the upper-left corner and moving down to a new option “Send feedback.”
This opens a new interstitial pop-up interactive element with the ability to leave a star rating (1-5) and a text box to send an “optional private email” to that GPT’s creator, as well as a checkbox option to leave the rater’s email address or not.
Expanded GPT Builder profile
Separately, GPT Builders can now include more information in their account profiles which appear when users click on their names. This information includes the ability to add links to the builder’s LinkedIn page or profile, X account, website, and its overall average rating and total number of ratings, as well as the total number of “conversations,” or sessions that have been started using that GPT.
The updates come on the heels of a bizarre and somewhat freaky ChatGPT issue that impacted many users earlier this week, in which an update caused the chatbot to begin spouting incoherent gibberish in its responses to users.
