Hey Product Hunters! We're so excited to be launching GPT Builder Tools today on Product Hunt. We built this product because: - we believe in a fairer AI economy where the value generated is more equitably distributed (this means everyday folks have access to AI tools, and AI builders get paid for their work) - it incentivises AI builders to create more & better GPTs (to fix bugs, add new features, integrate with paid APIs to deliver a more premium product) Ultimately, this is a win for normal people who flocked to ChatGPT in their hundreds of millions, but struggle to get it to work to a high enough standard that can be relied upon, which is where premium apps are needed. Few things - we have confirmed directly with OpenAI; there is no policy against builders accepting money directly from users - installation takes 2 minutes and does not require coding - you don't need your own Stripe account, but you will need a PayPal account so we can pay you! If you want to start earning money from your GPT today, use promo code PHLAUNCH to try our Pro plan for free. We also offer analytics - daily chat count, the ability to track keyword search results to improve GPT Store SEO, and, if the user gives permission, chat summaries so you can see how users are interacting with the GPT. Cheers, Jeevika Cofounder & CEO Top Road

I have been using this since April of this year and Jeevika and team have been marvellous! The development under taken in this short space of time is quite remarkable! Last week I emailed asking about the possibility of adding a new feature, only for Jeevika to respond by telling me that feature will be rolled out next week. Not just responding to customer needs but anticipating. If that’s not great service, then I don’t know what is. Great job, lovely people!

Congrats you guys over at Top Road @jeevika_makani & @cerkiner !! I have been using your gpt tools for a while now and from the beginning they’ve been getting better and better. I’m currently using the donations options for my users as I’m not ready to put up a paywall just yet. 
Setting up the tools is very easy with the step by step instructions & videos. 
I really like the latest chat topics feature as I am able to analyse how the users are interacting with my custom GPTs. This is super cool and
I would recommend builder tools for creators as the analytics are game changers for custom gpts.

I'm working on a project and we're building a chatgpt use case for e-commerce and looking for ways to montise the chatbot, this is exactly what we needed. I'll dig deep and look around. Sounds interesting... congrats on the launch @jeevika_makani 🤠

@ali_eskandari hey, so excited to hear this is what you've been looking for! Got the LinkedIn connection as well, looking forward to chatting soon =)

Interesting idea! I agree that a market where builders are compensated properly will yield better products out there because they have more incentives. Right now, the payment requires jumping a few hoops. I'm curious if you have thought about the elephant in the room which is what if OpenAI builds a payment system natively? Congrats on launching this product though @jeevika_makani and team!

@tonyhanded yeah great question! We actively want to see OpenAI get involved in the payments / monetisation game. The thing about the GPT Store is that either it won't really happen and we all get $0, or it really kicks off, and it has the potential to get massive, and in which case, there will be space for native and third party payments / analytics solutions to support the ecosystem (and that's obviously the bet we're taking, as we see value in having a first moved advantage... we're already learning so much about end users and builders which is much harder to replicate than just product)
Tony Han
@jeevika_makani - thanks for sharing that thought process!

@klymzu thanks! we're so impressed with what you guys have achieved so far in the GPT Store (for those who haven't already, try it out here https://chatgpt.com/g/g-GvcYCKPI...), looking forward to collaborating on the premium version that's coming out

looks interesting but there seems to be a problem with the video demo. it keeps freezing and going back to zero seconds.

Making money with GPTs sounds cool, but it feels like yet another way to squeeze cash out of users, no coding needed is great but will it really provide value or just clutter the marketplace with more paywalls, I'm skeptical, interested to see how this plays out though

@mirodev2023 hey, if the Apple App Store is anything to go by, 95% of GPT apps will be free, and only the top 5% will be paid. If an app is a thin wrapper of ChatGPT, it's not going to do well so it will be hard to keep justify the price point. While it is not required to code to built a custom GPT (or to install our product), coding is still a very useful skill set for a successful builder to be able to add custom actions to pull in information or perform tasks outside of the OpenAI ecosystem which is how you can deliver great value to users beyond what they can do with just ChatGPT!

Hey Jeevika, What percentage does Top Road take from the payments? How do you handle potential issues like refunds or chargebacks? Congrats on the launch!
Jeevika Makani

@kyrylosilin hey, we take a 10-20% clip on each transaction, and we handle customer queries, customer disputes and refunds on behalf of our builders (obviously we sometimes need to escalate, but we handle the day to day)

Congratulations jeevika!!! This video is absolutely amazing! The packaging is so creative and the message is so well delivered. I really appreciate the effort and detail that went into every element of this video.
