Learn how to access custom GPTs

The standard ChatGPT has been free to access for some time, but subscribers were until now limited to just them. But now OpenAI has announced that everyone can now have access to custom GPTs.

This ability to access the “Explore GPTs” menu was previously only available for paid plans. The new update allows more people to take advantage of ChatGPT’s advanced features, including image creation, data analysis, and code development.

These GPTs are customized versions of ChatGPT that combine specific instructions, additional knowledge, and diverse skills to meet different user needs. They are created both by OpenAI itself and by independent developers, offering a greater diversification of solutions.

Among the available options, we can mention, for example, some well-known tools such as Adobe Express and Canva, as well as educational assistants such as the Khan Academy tutor. These tools provide specialized features, such as text editing, image generation and code development.

How to access custom GPTs

Although access to GPTs is available for free accounts, you must log in to the platform to access them. For those who have not yet logged in, simply access the ChatGPT website (chatgpt.com) and click on “Register”. If you already have an account, just click “Sign in”. For those who already use ChatGPT frequently, you have probably already done these steps and will go straight to the platform.

Now, in the left corner of the screen, users will have the option “Explore GPTs”, so just click on it and the platform will show a list of options. After choosing one of the GPTs, just click on it and then on “Start chat”. Very simple.

When the user clicks on a GPT, they will see a window with additional details about each one. This window includes a brief description, a list of “icebreakers” to start conversations, and a rating of the tool on a scale of one to five. However, user comments are not available.

Despite the expansion of access, it is worth highlighting that the creation of new GPTs remains restricted to the paid plan. Additionally, free users have a limit on the number of requests they can make to a GPT. For unrestricted use, including access to GPT-4 and DALL-E 3, you must subscribe to the ChatGPT Plus plan, which costs US$20 per month. Here in Brazil this value is around R$110 per month.

Still, the news is welcome. The opening of GPTs for free accounts by OpenAI democratizes access to advanced tools, expanding the possibilities for using ChatGPT.

If you haven’t explored these features yet, now is the ideal time to experiment and discover how GPTs can help with a variety of tasks, from creating visual content to developing scientific and technological projects.
