OpenAI has recently launched it's GPT Store, and it's is amazing both for personal use, to train it on your own data, and give it specific instructions, but also to make money with it today. Even though OpenAI didn't open the store to monetization yet, in this video I will show you how to monetize it today with a custom API and Stripe.

I'm building a very specific custom GPT for a certain industry that is text heavy. I built the prototype in ChatGPT 4.0 and looks great and have industry connections. Need to start making money.

[@hml]

Awesome, so you've come to the right place!

[@chrismaraboli]

This is a great video! I am going to rewatch it after work and try to create a GPT that helps planning content for a client.

[@hml]

Fantastic! Let me know how it goes! Also, I got a few requests for a follow up video, so let me know if you have any other points/questions and I'll include them in a future video.

Truly amazing HML!! This video is so helpful! You have a new subscriber!

[@hml]

Awesome, thank you!

[@botwiseagency]

Perfect video! Unbelievable knowledge and with very simple steps, thank you very much!

[@hml]

Glad you enjoyed it! You are very welcome!

[@hsnorh8180]

thanks for the video...👍 how can you created the framework for the second example? i think it is very usefull.

[@hml]

It's a framework I wrote myself (with some minor help from AIs), learning from a bunch of other creators, successful KZbinrs and other sources. You think I should publish this?

[@hsnorh8180]

@@hml wow. yes, definitely. before i watch this video, i have no idea such a thing.

[@noberron]

Your video is awesome, exactly what I was looking for. However, when I go to deploy under building it fails with Error: Unable to find any supported Python versions. Any suggestions?

[@hml]

That's weird, let me verify and get back to you. Maybe something changed in the code repository...

[@noberron]

@@hml Thanks, really appreciate it!

[@hml]

Sorry it took me longer than I thought, but apparently Vercel have updated their default runtime to Node 20, and it doesn't work well with Python. You can either go to the "Settings" of your project and change the Node version to 18, and it works fine, or I added a workaround in the repository as well, by adding "package.json" stating Nodejs 18, and now it works again. Thanks for reporting this!

[@noberron]

@@hml Thank you so much. Almost everything seems to be working. But, when I test in the GPT it keeps saying the payment hasn't gone through yet. But I see the payment in Stripe. Any insight as to why? I can't thank you enough for your time.

[@hml]

​@@noberronit's hard to see what exactly is the issue. Does the API itself work fine? What result do you get when you try to test it? Did you include the "only answer after payment" part to the bot itself? You can jump on our Discord and I'll try to help you more.

[@wherewolf87]

Can you make a separate video going over how to connect api’s to ChatGPT’s custom gpts. ?

[@hml]

Sure, but what's wrong with the 3rd and 4th examples in this video?

[@wherewolf87]

@@hml more like general steps to connecting api’s. I wanted to create a custom gpt that connects to something like trading view api or coingeicko but can’t figure this out.

[@hml]

I see... It's basically the same as sample #3, but instead of copying the OpenAPI json from your own API, you give the API documentation page to ChatGPT, and ask it to generate an OpenAPI schema for it. But sure, I could make another video about that, with more samples.

[@wherewolf87]

@@hml a good video on this is missing from the KZbin university , so we thank you in advance 👌🔥❤️

[@hml]

Awesome, I'll collect a few more examples, and make a follow up
