#Canadian custom GPT builders
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Hi @patent kraken. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The extracts provided do not specify any geographical restrictions for publishing GPTs. It is mentioned that any ChatGPT Plus subscriber can create a GPT and share it with others, and to publish it to the Store, they must first verify their Builder Profile source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8798878-building-and-publishing-a-gpt). However, there's no specific mention of whether this applies to users outside the US, including Canada. I recommend checking OpenAI's official documentation or reaching out to their support for the most accurate information.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@hexed owl. I have already read that article you linked to. Searched the FAQs. Also tried to find out how to verify my Builder Profile, but I don't have a website, and the personal identification instruction was unclear.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
To verify your Builder Profile, you can use either your name or a website domain. If you don't have a website, you can still verify your profile using your name. Here are the steps to verify a website domain, in case you decide to use one in the future:
-
Create an OpenAI Account: If you haven’t done so already, sign up for an account with OpenAI. This will give you access to the necessary tools and resources.
-
Access Builder Dashboard: Once you have an OpenAI account, log in and navigate to the ‘Builder’ dashboard. This is where you can manage your GPT applications.
-
Create a New Project: Start a new project for your GPT application. You’ll be prompted to enter basic information about your project, like its name and description.
-
Configure Domain Settings: To publish your GPTs publicly, you’ll need to have a domain name. If you don’t have one, purchase a domain from a registrar like GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc. Once you have your domain, you need to verify ownership with OpenAI. This is where the TXT file comes in.
-
Verify Domain Ownership: OpenAI will provide you with a TXT record. This is a type of DNS (Domain Name System) record used to prove domain ownership. Log in to your domain registrar’s control panel and navigate to the DNS settings section. Add a new TXT record, pasting the value provided by OpenAI. The exact steps for this may vary depending on your domain registrar, but generally, you’ll need to specify the TXT record type, enter ‘@’ in the host field (or your domain), and paste the value from OpenAI in the value field. Save your changes. It may take some time (up to 48 hours, usually less) for DNS changes to propagate.
-
Wait for Verification: After adding the TXT record, return to the OpenAI Builder dashboard and confirm that you’ve added the record. OpenAI will then verify your domain, which may take a short while.
-
Publish Your GPTs: Once your domain is verified, you can proceed to publish your GPT applications. Use the Builder tools to configure and customize your GPT model as per your requirements. After setting it up, you can publish your GPT application. It will now be accessible publicly through your domain.
-
Monitor and Update: Keep an eye on your GPT application for usage, performance, and feedback. Regularly update and maintain your application to ensure it functions smoothly source (https://community.openai.com/t/494371).
If you're having trouble with the verification process, you can reach out to OpenAI for assistance. They have a support team ready to help with any issues you might encounter source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8774323-why-am-i-being-asked-to-verify-my-identity).

Well...you say I can use my name. But where? Do I enter it exactly where the domain name is supposed to go?

I apologize for the confusion. The extracts provided do not contain specific instructions on how to verify your Builder Profile using your name. It's mentioned that you can verify your Builder Profile with either your name or a website domain source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8798878-building-and-publishing-a-gpt), but the exact steps for name verification are not detailed in the provided extracts.
I recommend reaching out to OpenAI support or checking their official documentation for more detailed instructions on this process. They should be able to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information.

@hexed owl. What qualifies as official documentation? Anything I manage to find on the OpenAI website? OpenAI Support does not answer questions. They just give you a list of predetermined questions to choose from.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Official documentation typically refers to the authoritative resources provided by OpenAI on their website or other official channels. This includes:
-
OpenAI API Documentation: This is the primary source of information about how to use OpenAI's API. It includes details about the API's capabilities, how to make requests, and how to handle responses. It can be found at
<https://platform.openai.com/docs.> -
OpenAI Cookbook: This is a collection of guides and examples that show how to use OpenAI's API for various tasks. It's hosted on GitHub at
<https://cookbook.openai.com.> -
OpenAI Community Forum: This is a place where users can ask questions and share knowledge about OpenAI's products. Official answers from OpenAI staff are often marked as such. The forum can be found at
<https://community.openai.com.> -
OpenAI GitHub Repositories: OpenAI maintains several repositories on GitHub, including the official Python library for the OpenAI API (
<https://github.com/openai/openai-python>) and the OpenAI Cookbook (<https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook>). These repositories often include documentation, examples, and issue trackers where users can report problems and ask questions.
If you're having trouble finding the information you need, it can be helpful to use the search function on these sites, or to use a search engine to look for specific topics along with the term "OpenAI".
