Ask HN: Would an App Store for GPTs Be a Valuable Product?

We’re building a GPT App Store (https://store.raglabs.co) where users can find the right GPTs, prompts, datasets and fine-tuned models while developers can showcase and monetize their GPT creations in one accessible marketplace.

OpenAI literally did that and it bombed.

Open AI left developers without payment plans, monetising or selling applications so this platform aims to bridge that gap

I don’t think the lack of a payment system was the cause of failure.

Every GPT has such a low cost to replicate that any novel idea gets cloned into oblivion almost instantly.

You see the same thing in mobile app stores, but the cost of making an app far exceeds the cost of making a clone GPT.

The whole idea of custom GPTs (read: a prompt) is what failed.

So I mean, no I don’t really think it’s valuable.
