OpenAI unveils customised AI bots; offers cheaper, more powerful models
OpenAI will enable ChatGPT users to build customised bots to handle specific tasks, and has slashed costs on more powerful models for developers, the artificial intelligence company said at its first developer conference on Monday.
CEO Sam Altman shared the updates at the San Francisco event, which attracted 900 developers from around the world. This is OpenAI's latest attempt to capitalise on the popularity of ChatGPT by offering developers incentives to build in its ecosystem. ChatGPT, launched in November 2022, now has 100 million weekly active users, Altman said.

It will launch a GPT Store later this month where people can share their GPTs — OpenAI's version of agents that will allow ChatGPT to book flights and perform other tasks — and earn money based on the number of users.
«GPTs will continue to get more useful and smarter, and you'll eventually be able to let them take on real tasks in the real world,» OpenAI wrote in a blog on Monday.
«We think it's important to move incrementally towards this future, as it will require careful technical and safety work — and time for society to adapt.»
Even before event attendees were allowed to check in at 8:30 a.m. PDT, hundreds had lined up around the block in the Mid-Market neighborhood in downtown San Francisco. Most were developers already using OpenAI
