Request 😊

Hey team, I have a slightly nerdy request for the group. 😁

With OpenAI now deprecating Custom GPTs and moving towards Plugins, I’ve been digging into what this actually means for people who have spent a lot of time building their own GPTs.

There’s an interesting gap in the information available at the moment. OpenAI has documented parts of the GPT > Plugin migration process, but the rollout and exact experience vary depending on account/workspace type, and it’s surprisingly difficult to establish exactly what information an owner can retrieve from an existing GPT in a structured form.

I don’t actually own any Custom GPTs, so I’ve hit an annoying practical roadblock in investigating it myself. 😂

Would anyone here who has created their own GPT be willing to volunteer one for a little technical investigation? 🤔

I’m particularly interested in people on Plus or Pro personal accounts, although Business/Enterprise examples would also be useful. Bonus points if your GPT has Knowledge files and/or Actions configured.

I don’t need access to your account, your proprietary prompts, Knowledge contents, credentials, or anything sensitive. The exercise involves you opening your own GPT in your own ChatGPT web client, and looking at some browser Developer Tools information while the GPT editor loads. Anything proprietary can be completely redacted.

I’m essentially trying to answer the question, “When the owner opens and edits an existing Custom GPT, what information about that GPT does ChatGPT actually make available to the owner’s browser, and in what form?”

It should only take about 10-15 minutes. If you’re willing to help, then please reply here or DM me and I’ll send you the exact steps.

No technical heroics will be required, and I’ll happily walk you through DevTools if you’ve never used it.

I’d ideally love 2–3 volunteers across different account types so I can compare what OpenAI is actually doing rather than relying solely on documentation and assumptions. 😊
