I have been utilising GPT to create my own app, and now openAI wants to be the only app that matters. I’m not sure whether I should be excited or not :/

They will allow revenue sharing so then it's a matter of how many customers they'd be able to offer you for your app; and whether it makes sense for you to distribute through them or bypass them and distribute yourself.

Well, they tried to put a government sponsored moat in the way of other people building AI companies that would be competing with them. Thankfully, they mostly seem to have whiffed the ball on that one. This plan of theirs to monetize the creation of agents and other tools that take advantage of their underlying infrastructure is a good secondary kind of moat. Because, if your tool relies on their underlying infrastructure, even if you could build something different, the infrastructure is required. This may be a "less-evil" way to keep them building things and making tools available without completely locking out competition.

Awesome, I've been waiting for something like this.

It looks like we are moving away from apps to web GPTs, this looks like chatbot interface is here to stay and 'AI' is now the default interface that is to be expected.

I also don't need to spend lots of money on a developer to test my ideas out, this is great for product validation, I look forward to playing with GPTs.

I can see writing, travel and other bots being more enhanced and more powerful, hopefully existing startups will adapt to this change.

Exciting and interesting times!
