OpenAI to retire Custom GPTs, recommends Plugins as replacement

OpenAI has officially announced the retirement of Custom GPTs, with a migration process set to begin on September 17th. The company recommends using Plugins as the primary replacement for Custom GPT functionalities. However, the transition may not be seamless, as custom actions within GPTs will not automatically migrate, and users will need to test their workflows with the new Plugins to ensure they function as expected. AI

IMPACT This change will require users to adapt their workflows from Custom GPTs to Plugins, potentially impacting how they interact with OpenAI's platform.
