Beyond Custom GPTs

Custom GPTs Live in ChatGPT. Your AI Products Don't Have To.

OpenAI has changed how new Custom GPTs can be created. If your goal is to turn prompts, expertise, documents or workflows into something you can deliver to your own audience, embed on a website, package as a bonus or present under your own brand, Astrabotix gives you another path.

Don't just build a GPT. Build an AI asset you can actually deploy.

Already have one? Bring your existing GPTs to Astrabotix—without rebuilding them from scratch.

Custom GPT

Tailored for use inside ChatGPT

A focused ChatGPT experience built around instructions, knowledge and selected capabilities.

Astrabotix

Built to package and deploy

Turn the idea into an AI App or AI Bot, then give it an external delivery surface.

What changed?

Custom GPT Creation Has Changed

OpenAI says new GPT creation and publishing are unavailable on personal ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus and Pro accounts. Existing GPTs remain available, while creation, editing and publishing in Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces depend on workspace settings and permissions.

GPTs themselves are designed to work inside ChatGPT—not as a way to embed ChatGPT directly in an external website or application.

That makes the distinction clearer: an assistant inside ChatGPT and an AI asset you deploy yourself are two different things.

Different jobs, different delivery models

Two Different Jobs

Custom GPTs and Astrabotix can both begin with instructions and knowledge. The practical difference is where and how the finished experience is delivered.

Already Have a Custom GPT?

Bring your existing GPTs to Astrabotix—without rebuilding them from scratch.

Upload a .md or .txt GPT build document—or paste its contents—and Astrabotix will extract the name, description, instructions, persona, conversation starters, model and supported capabilities for review.

Review the imported settings and compatibility warnings, then create the AI Bot. It opens in the standard Astrabotix builder, ready to refine, embed or add to a Launchpad.

V1 maps supported models and Web Search. GPT Actions and knowledge files are not transferred automatically; add referenced files through an Astrabotix Knowledge Hub after import.

Bring Your Own Key

Pay Your AI Provider Directly. Zero Token Markup from Astrabotix.

Connect your own supported AI provider account and pay that provider's API charges directly. Astrabotix does not require bundled Astrabotix token credits and does not add a markup to the provider's token charges.

Direct provider billing

Provider usage is billed through your provider account, giving you direct visibility of model usage costs.

Practical cost controls

Use allowed domains, rate limits and optional lifetime run limits to help manage public usage and cost exposure.

Supported BYOK providers

Choose from provider integrations currently supported by Astrabotix and configure the model for the experience.

Provider charges still apply. Actual costs vary by provider, model, configuration and usage. Zero Token Markup refers specifically to Astrabotix not marking up provider token charges.

Beyond Custom GPTs FAQ

What to Know Before You Build

Are Custom GPTs being discontinued?

No. Existing GPTs remain available. OpenAI says new GPT creation and publishing are unavailable on personal ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus and Pro accounts. In Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces, creation, editing and publishing depend on workspace settings and permissions.

Is Astrabotix a Custom GPT replacement?

Not exactly. They serve different delivery roles. Custom GPTs are tailored experiences used inside ChatGPT. Astrabotix turns prompts, knowledge and workflows into AI Apps and AI Bots that can be packaged in Launchpads or embedded on permitted external websites.

Can I turn an existing Custom GPT into an Astrabotix AI Bot?

Yes. Upload a .md or .txt GPT build document—or paste its contents—and Astrabotix will extract the supported configuration for review. Confirm the settings and warnings to create an AI Bot, which then opens in the standard builder.

Can I embed an Astrabotix AI tool on my own website?

Yes. AI Apps and AI Bots can be placed on permitted external websites using embeds, with allowed-domain checks, per-minute rate limits and optional lifetime usage limits where configured.

Do users need ChatGPT to use my Astrabotix AI tool?

No ChatGPT account is required by Astrabotix itself. The experience runs through the supported AI provider account connected by the Astrabotix owner. Access can still depend on how the owner configures the website or Launchpad.

What does the GPT importer transfer?

The importer extracts the GPT name, description, instructions, persona, conversation starters, model and supported capabilities from a build document. V1 safely maps supported models and Web Search while warning about unsupported capabilities. It does not transfer GPT Actions or knowledge files; referenced files must be added through a Knowledge Hub after import.

Can I sell access directly through Astrabotix?

Not currently. Continue using your external checkout and delivery process. Native payment collection and automatic payment-to-access provisioning are not part of Astrabotix V1; Launchpad owners can use manual access grants where appropriate.

How do AI provider costs work?

Astrabotix uses a Bring Your Own Key model for supported providers. Provider usage charges are billed separately through your provider account. Astrabotix does not add a markup to those provider token charges.
