#43Is this much different from the custom GPTs that OpenAI pushed a year or two ago?
Same question, but I'm less clear on how we devs get paid here. Still hoping someone builds the App Store for custom GPTs where we don't have to worry about payment and user infrastructure. Happy giving up a percentage for that butnot30percentguys.
I wouldn't feel comfortable comparing that to the 30% i-wonder-who takes for providing a store to download packages that then run on the edge.
(And fwiw, all of them should be able to take any percentage they want. It's only an issue if there is no other option)

#44Isn’t that what ChatGPT plugins tried to do? I don’t see the point. If I create something, others can can use with their account, what’s my value?
So for an API call that costs $0.50, the end user is charged $1; and from that AI API earns $0.50, the webapp creator earns $0.40 and the host earns $0.10.
I'm trying this out with https://codeplusequalsai.com right now but it's not clear to me yet that it will take off!
But clearly, the value to you should be that you could earn $ based on the token usage from end-users.

#45I used to love to make silly websites or apps with new technologies. Been doing it since flash. I have a pretty decent hit rate! It’s not unusually to get half a million or so people try one of them. But with AI that model is just totally broken because the running cost is so high. If I have half a million people come play my silly AI game that I have no wish to monetise - I am gonna be POOR very fast. Log in with [i…

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
Agreed, it's an interesting model. I wonder what the approval ui looks like for the app end-user? Is it super clear to them that they're financially responsible for their usage?
Yeah I wonder how that actually works - because I would guess people are logging in with their consumer login not an api login, so they’re not really even in the mindset of limits and cost per token.

#47As a developer, you probably want to access to the right models for your app rather than being locked in.

#49Is this the end of - or at least a significant challenge to - SaaS? Why buy into saas tooling if you can just slap something together - that you fully own - with something like this?
this is delivering what no-code promised us.
