Product Improvements

1. CustomGPT.ai Monetization

We are excited to introduce an industry-first: a Generative AI solution that enables you to drive revenue from your knowledge and intelligence by creating and selling custom GPT chatbots.

2. Zapier App

Zapier lets you connect CustomGPT.ai with thousands of the most popular apps, so you can automate your work and have more time for what matters most—no code required. Our newly improved CustomGPT Zapier app lets you integrate data sources from 6000+ apps. Now with support for Triggers and Actions. 

3. Enhanced anti-hallucinations

We continue to improve our proprietary industry-leading #1 anti-hallucination technology and have now battle-tested it across over 2000+ businesses. Get the full technical details. 

4. Realtime Indexing

Thanks to our realtime indexing, you can now build chatbots with “just in time” learning ability. We have continued to improve our infrastructure for blazing fast scraping and indexing. When speed of indexing is important, our improved infrastructure comes into play. 

For example: Think of a Stock Market GPT that needs to get its news updated in near realtime. These are the types of use cases that are enabled with “just in time” indexing. 

5. Large Scale Deployments

Customers are building chatbots with billions of words and 100,000+ documents. Not even the OpenAI Assistants API has such scale. 

For Developers 

1. API / Python SDK

With 3 lines of python code, you get the entire power of the CustomGPT API SaaS platform. Just imagine doing RAG Agents, with trust and transparency, within minutes. (See Github cookbooks and Streamlit demo App) 

Best part: As soon as you finish the proof-of-concept, you are ready to deploy at scale. 

2. Sub-Second Responses

We now have configurations for sub-second API responses. We always had realtime SSE streaming for fast responses. But now, we have added features to get sub-second responses (if needed) 

For example: If you need to do RAG agents, but need the entire response returned in less than a second, the RAG pipeline can be configured to do so. 

3. RAG Agents

When it comes to RAG agents, we have the #1 SaaS API. No more dealing with Langchain hell. Your RAG project can be up-and-running today with the best-in-class RAG pipeline. 

And best of all: This should make it easy for you to “Build It Or Buy It?” decision. 

4. Large Scale RAG Agents

Our RAG Agents are built to scale and can ingest not just documents, but also website data. See comparison vs OpenAI Assistants API for RAG agents. We should be having detailed benchmarking results soon.

Sneak Peeks

1. SGE

You can now deploy your custom GPT on your search results page for a “Search Generative Experience”. Instead of plain blue-links, you can show your searchers generative AI results. Perfect for e-commerce and other search-oriented companies. See live Example. 

Consumer behavior is changing, and with it, the traditional “Search”. SGE is now available in your CustomGPT.ai account at no additional cost. Just click on “Sharing” -> “SGE” to copy-paste the code into your search results page for a true SGE experience. 

2. Auto Sync

Now, your custom GPT can remain in sync with your data sources. For example, if your pricing page changes, the chatbot will sync automatically and respond accordingly. 

This is now available in your CustomGPT.ai account for a sneak peek. Just click on “Settings” -> “Data” -> “Manage Sitemaps”. 

Coming Soon

1. Improved Storage Limits

We hear you — you don't like the lifetime indexing credits system. So we are changing all plans to be storage-based, rather than lifetime indexing credits. This more intuitive system will line up with customer expectations and benefit all customers. 

2. Chat Log Insights

Imagine a super-intelligent expert analyzing your chat logs to uncover customer intelligence. From missing content, to product issues, to customer issues, the chat logs are a goldmine of information – and the insights will be available to you right in your dashboard.

What is coming soon? An insights tab that all departments in your company will love. Rather than manually go through chat logs, you can get automated insights much better than any human ever could. See technical details. 

3. Improved Data Integrations

Yes, we have the easiest data integrations in the industry. But that's not good enough – our no-code customers want point-and-click integrations with their data sources like Wordpress, Shopify, Google Drive, Notion, etc. We are on it!
