OpenAI has developed a new feature known as Generic Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) that allows users to create a custom version of ChatGPT, a sophisticated artificial intelligence text generation technology. These versions can be specialized in any topic ranging from writing to research, productivity, education, lifestyle, and more. The goal of these versions is to assist the user in specific tasks in daily work or life.
A particular strength of these GPTs is that their creation requires no coding skills, a departure from traditional applications found in app stores. Now, anyone can build a GPT by initiating a conversation, giving instructions, imparting knowledge about a certain topic, and assigning a specific task. While previously, access to GPTs was a paid feature, with the introduction of GPT-4o anyone with internet access and a ChatGPT account can now access GPTs.
This function has already revolutionized how software developers and programmers work by offering custom GPTs that help in writing, testing, and troubleshooting code. Some popular GPTs include Code Copilot, a coding assistant; Python GPT, a custom-made solution for Python programmers; and Grimoire, a coding wizard that can help developers build faster.
A crucial advantage is the integration of Dall-E capabilities, AI algorithms that can generate images based on written prompts, into certain GPTs. For instance, Website Generator GPT not only helps users in designing and coding websites but also integrates DALL-E 3 technology. Furthermore, Designer GPT enables users to not only design but also host websites with Dall-E integrated website creation.
Other GPTs offer specific help in database operations, such as SQL Expert GPT, or serve more as tutors like Code Guru GPT. AskTheCode GPT is a practical solution for users of Github, assisting them in understanding aspects of the code.
These advanced GPTs undoubtedly change how software development operates by offering powerful tools for various coding tasks, website generation, databasing needs, and more. The accessibility of these tools to users with varying skill levels and in different locations makes GPTs invaluable resources in the field of software development.
