The biggest technology revolution was unleashed on November 30, 2022, when San Francisco-based OpenAI launched ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot based on GPT-3. ChatGPT took the world by storm, with more than a million people using it just two weeks after its launch, making it the fastest technology adoption in history.
As befits a category leader, OpenAI has not stood still. The startup added GPT-4 to its chatbot on June 21, 2023. GPT-4 is OpenAI’s most advanced system that can also create images and art from text prompts, edit existing images, and build custom GPTs. On September 20, 2023, the company introduced DALL-E 3, an improved version of its DALL-E 2 image generation platform, which can also edit existing images or create variations of them.
To leverage GPT-4’s customization capabilities, the company launched an app store in January 2024, which lets users build and monetize their own GPT solutions. 😊
Pricing: Free; ChatGPT Plus: $20/mo..
