Description:
OpenAI discreetly enhances ChatGPT, introducing '@' tag for custom GPTs, allowing users to further personalize their ChatGPT experience.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

OpenAI is continuing to cement its status as the leading force in generative AI, adding a nifty little feature with little fanfare: the ability to tag a custom-created GPT bot with an @ in the prompt.

In November 2023, custom ChatGPT-powered chatbots were introduced by OpenAI that would help users have specific types of conversations. These were named GPTs and customers who subscribed to OpenAIs premium ChatGPT Plus service
were able to build their own GPT-powered chatbot for their own purposes using OpenAIs easy-to-use GPT-building interface. Users would then be able to help train and improve their own GPTs over time, making them smarter and better at accomplishing tasks asked of them by users.

Also, earlier this year, OpenAI debuted the GPT store which allowed users to create their own GPT bots for specific categories like education, productivity, and just for fun, and then make them available for other users. Once theyre on the GPT store, the AI chatbots become searchable, can compete and rank in leaderboards against GPTs created by other users, and eventually users will even be able to earn money for their creators. Surprising new feature

It seems OpenAI has now made it easier to switch to a custom GPT chatbot,

Cybernews suggests that itll make switching between these different custom GPT personas more fluid and easier to use. OpenAI hasnt publicized this new development yet, and it seems like this change specifically applies to
ChatGPT Plus subscribers.

This would somewhat mimic existing functionalities of apps like Discord and Slack, and could prove popular with ChatGPT users who wanted to make their
own personal chatbot ecosystems populated by custom GPT chatbots that can be interacted with in a similar manner to those apps.

However, its interesting that OpenAI hasnt announced or even mentioned this update, leaving users to discover it by themselves. Its a distinctive
approach to introducing new features for sure. You might also like OpenAI
