The "OpenAI GPT Store" is opening next week. Will it become bigger than the App Store?

Question

Imagine being able to download AI apps as easily as you do on the App Store. Will there be a new gold-rush to make the first killer app for AI?

Like TikTok and AngryBird was for the AppStore.

What do you think will be the first killer AI-app?

@istiakahmad It's kind of funny that no one made a SaaS App Store. For internet apps.

André J · Answer

@istiakahmad For me the killer feature would be to have payment with OpenAI. Instead of in all these AI startups handling my Visa card details 😅 I think I would try a lot more apps if the AI apps was easier to start using. And AI startups would be able to earn a lot more as well. minus the 30% fee OpenAI will probably require 😅

It's challenging to predict, but the success of the "OpenAI GPT Store" will depend on factors like user adoption, developer interest, and the value it provides. The comparison with the App Store is ambitious, but time will tell how it evolves.

@sentry_co well, on that point actually, I just noticed today that GPT4 went out and (tried to) find me some free domain names, instead of just giving me domain name ideas as it used to (for me to check by myself). It also proactively asked me to provide more information in order to evaluate these domain names, that was also new "behavior". So, that's more evidence towards more autonomy or what OpenAI is cooking up behind the scenes.

@savilia_lastero Yes, absolutely agree, everything is still uncertain, but together all is possible.

Muhammad Anees · Answer

Not really, we have to see what they offer

Answer

The success of the OpenAI GPT store will depend on the quality and usefulness of the AI apps it offers. It has the potential to be significant, but whether it becomes bigger than the App Store depends on user adoption, developer interest, and the evolution of AI applications in the market. It could be a game changer if it offers unique and valuable AI-driven experiences.

Yes , should be interesting to see what Killer app comes from it no doubt.

Bertalan Kozma · Answer

@sentry_co  Yes, in this case you’re absolutely right. It will be interesting to see how this goes

Bertalan Kozma · Answer

I don't think so. Apple is one of the biggest company, a tech monopolyst and if they see the GPT Store as a threat, they will probably make their own version of it.
And it also depends on how this GPT store will look in action because if anyone can upload anything, there will be a ton of bad applications, and it's going to be a mess.

@sentry_co 😅😅 totally, how come smart brains worldwide missed it! 🤣

ISTIAK AHMAD · Answer

@sentry_co 💯💯 even with 30% i would love to join anyway. Think about this marketplace with 100 mil+ users daily. New GPT millionaires is going to be created this year man! my mind is already blowing 🤯🤯

André J · Answer

@ioannis_tsiokos Nice insight! I think this might be really big actually. Could be that AGI is out of reach for 100s of years, and instead we settle on ASI, and the game becomes more about creating the right infrastructures for this ASi's in a API like store, hopefully more unchained than the app store. I do suspect that there will be rules here as well. as that is also a good thing. App Store with out rules wouldn't work, as no one would trust anything they downloaded.
