I’m looking for practical experience from anyone who's already traveled this road. I built a suite of 21 custom GPTs focused on authors, publishing, and book marketing—tools for opportunity research, reader pain points, competitive gaps, book positioning, and related publishing workflows. Each was designed as a focused tool, not a general chatbot. My original plan was simple: distribute individual GPTs by direct link, with customers using them inside their own ChatGPT accounts. Then the ground shifted. OpenAI has ended new GPT creation and publishing on personal accounts. Existing GPTs still work, and ChatGPT Business may preserve some link-sharing options, but that feels more like a bridge than the long-term destination. So I’m now exploring the next question: What is the best way to turn an existing custom GPT into a standalone App or web-based tool? Ideally, I’m looking for a path that: - preserves the GPT’s instructions and workflow rather than rebuilding the concept from scratch; - gives authors and publishers a simple interface without requiring them to understand prompts; - allows me to control access and eventually sell individual tools; - does not require maintaining an elaborate SaaS operation. I’m not wedded to any particular platform. I’m interested in what people have actually built and deployed—whether with the OpenAI API, ChatGPT Apps, WordPress, no-code/low-code platforms, or another approach entirely. If you’ve converted a custom GPT into something customers can use outside the GPT Store ecosystem, what path did you take, and would you choose it again?

Not just saving time. Not writing a better email. Not generating a few social media posts. I mean something that had a real impact on your income or business. For me, one of the biggest changes was learning to use AI as part of my eCommerce decision-making process instead of treating it like a simple writing tool. I use it to help me research ideas, break down markets, understand customer problems, develop different product angles, improve offers, work through marketing ideas, and speed up the testing process. But there’s something I learned along the way: ChatGPT itself doesn't make you money. What you build with it does. I’ve used AI alongside my eCommerce and dropshipping business, and over time I’ve been able to build it to $25,000+ in monthly revenue. That didn't happen because I asked ChatGPT to “give me a winning product.” 😂 I wish it were that easy. There were products that failed. Ads that didn't perform. Offers that needed to be changed. Ideas that sounded brilliant in ChatGPT but made absolutely no sense once real customers saw them. The difference came from taking the information, testing it in the real world, looking at the results, and then using AI again to figure out what to improve. That feedback loop became incredibly useful for me: Research → Build → Test → Analyze → Improve → Repeat. And honestly, I think that's where a lot of the opportunity with AI is. Not simply asking: "What can ChatGPT do?" But asking: “What part of my business can I make faster, smarter, or more efficient with it?” If you're already using ChatGPT for your business and want to see some of the ways I’ve been using it specifically for eCommerce, product research, marketing, customer psychology, and ads, feel free to DM me. I’m happy to share what has worked for me and some of the prompts/workflows I’ve found useful. 📲 WhatsApp: +1 (437) 523-2454 DM me here or message me on WhatsApp if you want to compare notes.

When I asked a question and the response came back and said " Humans always .... I was like since when it's talking like it's an alien? How do I correct it from saying Humans? It's kinda creepy.
