OpenAI has just released the GPT Store, marking the App Store moment for AI. Looking back to 2008 when Apple unleashed their App Store, only those with app development skills got a slice of the millions the App Store generated. The difference for us today is that the skills required to create for the GPT Store and start making money can be learned in an hour or two rather than three years of software engineering at college.
That's why today I'm going to be teaching you absolutely everything that I know about building GPTs and making money from them as a beginner, so that you can take advantage of the easy money new platforms like this offer before it's too late. However, since there are going to be tens of thousands of people rushing to this new opportunity, the challenge is not knowing how to create GPTs but how to create actually valuable GPTs that will stand out from the competition and generate you passive income for years to come. Teaching you the skills required to do so is the goal of this video.
Now, before you sit down and listen to another random guy on the internet teach you how to make money online, if you want to be a millionaire next month, this is the way to do it. You need to know a little bit about the person giving you the advice. If you're new to the channel and don't know who I am, my name is Liam Otley, and I run my own AI agency, Morningside AI. I also run the largest community of AI agency owners in the world, where my students learn how to make money by selling AI solutions to businesses, just like the GPTs you're about to build.
I'm originally from New Zealand but now live in Dubai, and I've been doing online business for the past five years. Over the past 12 months, I've sold nearly half a million dollars worth of AI chatbots to my clients, and I've taught the people in my free and paid community how to sell tens of thousands of dollars worth of their own. The reason I'm making this video today is that within my own agency, we are starting to see a massive shift in demand away from the normal AI chatbots we're used to building towards AI agents like GPTs that are equipped with tools and knowledge.
The change in demand has been so significant that we have pivoted almost all of our resources to going all in on this opportunity. I specialize in AI agent creation, the majority of which is done through my AI agent platform, Agentive. Now, I hate to ramble on about myself, but when I was starting out in online business all those years ago, I wasted my time listening to people who weren't qualified to give the advice they gave. So I've been in your position before, and I don't want you to go through what I did.
So that's a little bit about me. I hope you think I'm qualified to be giving the information I'm about to share. As you can probably tell by the length of this video, I'm not holding any secrets back from you. I've structured this video into three different chapters, starting right from the basics of what a GPT is all the way up to the advanced deployment techniques that I've found to make money with GPT. But feel free to skip around using the timestamps along the bottom so you can start wherever your skill level is.
Chapter one is Foundation. In order to make money with GPTs, you need to properly understand GPTs and the opportunities they present. This chapter covers the basics for beginners right up to the dangers and pitfalls of becoming a GPT creator that no one's talking about right now.
Chapter two is Skills. In this chapter, I break down each of the five different skills you need to know to be able to crush it as a no-code GPT developer and to be able to make passive income from the GPT Store. Some of the skills you need, you definitely wouldn't expect.
Finally, chapter three is Creation. In this final chapter, I walk you through creating your first GPT that incorporates all of the available features on the GPT platform. I'll also show you how to jailbreak that same GPT and use it elsewhere on places like websites, WhatsApp, and more.
In order to get the most out of this video, I want you to close out of all of your tabs, save this video to your watch later, and give yourself the next two to three hours to study the information in this video. I want you to go and get a notebook and a pen because there is far too
Going to get some of those chats that stack up, and if essentially that'll be the usage metric that I assume at some point you're going to get paid for.
So now that we've created a working version of this agent as a GPT, I want to show you how to jailbreak this GPT and use it outside of the ChatGPT site. This is a crucial step for you if you want to start selling GPTs to businesses.
You're going to need to create agents and deploy them to places like their website, or their Slack, or their WhatsApp business line, or their Instagram DMs, etc. I've added in this next section of deploying to different platforms because this skill is something that very few people know how to do right now, and this market of deploying AI assistants is largely untapped.
I will mention now that the Assistant API, which is what allows us to create GPTs that we can use outside of the ChatGPT site, does cost quite a lot in terms of usage, and it can be quite slow sometimes, making it not really ideal for all use cases for businesses at the moment. But this is to be expected with this new kind of technology, and I expect OpenAI to push an update within the next few months that's going to reduce the costs of running these deployable agents and also decrease response time, therefore making them a lot more attractive to businesses.
So we are early, but I'd rather be early than late. To get you started with deploying agents and GPTs outside of the ChatGPT site, I'm going to walk you through how to put one on a website as a chat widget, like down in the little corner, one of those little bubble pop-ups.
Knowing how to do this kind of chat widget deployment opens up opportunities for you to sell AI assistant solutions like customer support or lead generation agents to businesses. Normally, this kind of deployment takes a lot of custom code and messing around with multiple different platforms to get it done right.
On this channel, I've made a bunch of videos on the topic already, but many of these tutorials I found were far too complicated for beginners, a lot of custom code involved, etc. This is why myself and my team at Morningside AI created Agentive, which is the easiest way to create, deploy, and manage AI agents.
And no, I didn't wait this long just to give you another sales pitch. Agentive is 100% free for everyone right now because I want you to be able to learn this valuable new skill without any financial barriers. Agentive is in early access right now, and it only has a fraction of the features that we wanted to have eventually, but it is enough to get you up and running and start deploying these onto things like websites to start with.
So what we're going to be doing is taking the exact same Charlie Monga investing assistant that we created, but we're going to duplicate it over to be on Agentive so that you can start to deploy it to wherever you want and on different platforms.
To start off, you need to come onto the Agentive landing page here. It's going to be linked; the first link in the description should be the one to Agentive, so you can come and get this. At the moment, it is, as I said, in early access, but if you apply to the waiting list by clicking this "Join Waitlist" button, click here. If you fill this out, you should be allowed into the platform within 24 hours.
So you will receive an email when you've been added to the waitlist, and then within 24 hours, you'll be let in to actually start using the platform. So keep an eye on your emails after you've applied to it.
I'm sorry I can't let you in straight away, but there is quite a big queue that we're trying to get through, and we don't want to let everyone in all at once because it is early access. Once you have got access, you'll be able to put your email in here, click sign in, then you'll be emailed a link to a magic link to sign in automatically.
So go to your email, click on that, and it will automatically log you into the platform. And here we have the interface for Agentive. Now there's a little light mode, dark mode here if you're watching this at night, but this is the basic interface we have at the moment.
What I'm going to do is click "Create Assistant" up here, and we're going to go through the process of creating what we just made on the ChatGPT site but on Agentive. As you can see, we've closely mirrored the experience, so it's very familiar for you.
We do have a bit of a UX overhaul coming in the coming months, so keep an eye out for that. However, in order to unlock this GPT-4 1106 preview model, which is needed to create your own GPT on something like Agentive, you need to first go to platform.open.com, and we need to unlock your account so you can get full access to all the models available.
So if I log in here or create an account if you haven't already, and then we go to the side here and click on settings, we can go to billing. Here you'll see that I already have topped up $15 into my account, and I've added a payment method.
What you need to do to get your models unlocked so you can use Agentive and start creating your own GPTs is just to add a payment method here, then add at least $5 worth of credit here using this recharge. I also recommend you turn on the auto-recharge so that if you use up all of those $5, it will automatically top you up.
So be aware that as you are using this, you will be billed for API costs, so just keep an eye on this to see how quickly you're spending there. Once you've added some credit, you can go to the Assistant tab here, and we can double-check that you have the model activated.
If we go create by clicking on the model dropdown, you should see GPT-4 1106 preview. If you see that, you're ready to go back to Agentive and get started creating your own GPT.
But we can go basically step by step, and let's go back here and edit this GPT. Now we're going to be duplicating over this entire thing. So I can go Charlie Monga investing assistant, go there, description, copy this, come back, and get the instructions, copy that, put it there, update that.
Then I'm going to go to the knowledge, I'm going to enable the knowledge base, going to add files. We need to add them in one at a time. This is just a feature that we're working on at the moment, but adding them one at a time ensures that we don't get a queue, which has caused some issues in the past.
So we need to go through, add the second one, go down, and add the third one. Again, these are all the same documents that are available on the resource hub. The fourth one is going to take a little bit of time for these things to process, but until then, we can go and connect our tools.
Once we're here, we can click "Choose New Tool Provider," and now we can go back over to Relevance AI and the exact same method we just used for our GPT, but this time for Agentive.
So if I come up to the custom action for GPTs, click on this, generate OpenAPI schema, copy this, head back to Agentive, paste it in. It's already figured out what we're looking for. I can go add authentication, do the same process. If I go custom and I go authorization, head back to Relevance AI, generate me an API key, copy that, head back, paste it in here, update the authentication, create the tool.
Now we have our tool created. Of course, it's just one, but we can have multiple tools in here. We do have support for multiple tools, and if we go to the knowledge, I'll give this a little refresh. Should have processed most of these. Yep, they've all been processed correctly.
So if it says it hasn't been processed, just refresh the page, and it should update if it's been long enough. Tool set up, everything else set up, and we can give it a test.
One of the things that makes Agentive different from any other platform on the market right now is that we have this testing environment. Now, it may not seem like much, but if I go in here and I say, "Hi, what can you do?" Not only can we chat with our assistant in here, we can test both the knowledge-based feature and our tools.
If you go over to the OpenAI playground and try to do the same thing, you're not actually going to be able to call your tools that you've provided to it. It's just going to kind of, "Okay, yes, we've triggered it," but we're not actually going to process the request and actually perform that tool.
What makes this different from the OpenAI playground, which allows you to do a similar kind of setup process, is that we can actually converse with our assistant here and test the tools that we've set up.
So I've provided access to our "Get Stock Data." What I can then do is say, "Can you get the price of Microsoft?" I can actually test my tool in here, which is something no other platform offers right now.
So Agentive is designed to be this platform where you can come in as either an agency owner and you're selling these to other businesses, or as a business owner coming in and wanting to test things before you put it live. You can have a full testing experience of how your user will get it here within the chat window.
So how we can see the current stock price of Microsoft, it's successfully fetched all the information we're looking for, so we know that it is working and ready to go.
Here, if someone who's going to be building and selling these to businesses, I can tell you that this is going to be an extremely useful prototyping and testing interface for you, which is how we built it.
Now we're ready to deploy this onto a website. Up here, we have the deploy button, which I can click, and if I click on the website option here, here's the information we're going to need. You're only going to need a little bit of it, so it doesn't look too complicated.
Up here, it says, "First time deploying to a website? Watch our tutorial here." So if I click this, we have a little tutorial here, which obviously you don't need to watch because I'm giving you a tutorial right now.
But we have two buttons here, which is one to download the Voiceflow template and the second to sign up for Voiceflow. Our recommended method to get these put onto websites is to use a platform like Voiceflow. We have a template that makes it super easy for you to integrate with.
So if you haven't already, you can click here and sign up to Voiceflow, but otherwise, you can click the download the Voiceflow template button here, and you'll get the template that's ready to upload and make this super easy for you.
Over here, I've already got an account for Voiceflow. Of course, once you've signed in and created an account, you can click on the "Import VF File" up here, and I'm going to go to my downloads. I have the website template, click on that, I can open the assistant here now that it's created.
There are just a couple of little things that we can change here, and then we're ready to go. So back in Agentive here, you can see it says "Replace your API key" here. If I go back to Agentive, we have our API key.
We copy this, head back to Voiceflow, click on this, and down here, we just double-click here and replace our API key. Easy as that. Replace our API key and assistant ID here, click on this, replace our assistant, replace our API key again.
Now we just need our assistant ID, which we can come back to Agentive for. If you come down here, you see your assistant ID. Copy that, head back to Voiceflow, double-click here, paste in our assistant ID, and everything else has already been set up in this template I created.
Then we can play around with a bit of this. So, "Hi, I'm Charlie, your investing assistant," and we can change things around like, "I can help you with investing advice and also provide real-time stock data for you. Just give me the ticker you're looking for, e.g., MSFT."
Now we should be able to give this a spin and see if it's working. To test this, you can go up to the top right, hit run, go run test, and then what this is going to do is create a new session. This is basically going to put all messages that come through under this particular chair.
"Hi, I'm Charlie, your investing assistant. I can also help you. How can I help you today?" And "What are your top five tips for beginners?" Let's check that the knowledge base is working, and this, of course, is connecting to our Agentive API here, going to be pulling all of this functionality into this here.
And then we have it. So when you see these little source things pop up, that means that it is using the knowledge base, and you can remove these with a little JavaScript trick on here. But for now, we'll just keep it as is.
So here we have it working correctly and pulling our functionality from Agentive. Now we need to take this and put this onto a website, which is a fairly easy step from here.
So if I go back, I can go to the publish button, I can call this V1, and I'm going to click on the embed widget button. Here we can modify the layout and the design of our chat widget.
So down here, you can see a little demo of it. If I go Charlie Monga investing assistant, so that's going to change the name over here. Let's go M so it's not cut off. Charlie Monga investing.
Oh, forget after the tab is closed and reloaded. Let's keep it there. Let's change the image of the assistant to be its cool picture we got of Charlie, and we can change the color. Let's make it, oh, that icon.
Okay, let's change the color to something a bit cooler, dark blue maybe. It matched that little pink. That's kind of a nice looking dark purple. I like that. Change this assistant avatar, put it time as well, and then we have our Monga investing assistant ready to go.
Now what we need to do is copy this and put it onto our website. Now, just to demo this, I'll go free CSS. I'll drop this link down in the description below. It's just a free template that I like to use in these videos; it makes it a lot easier.
Then if I download this up here, I can click here, unzip it, and then if I open up Brackets, you need to go to brackets.io. I think you can download Brackets, the free code editor that you can use to pull up these websites quickly.
Then in Brackets, what I need to do is go to open. Actually, we can go to open folder, and if I go back to downloads, open up this, press enter on that. Now we have access to this.
If I click on the index.html, again, I noted this is no code, but this is literally like just copy and paste to get in. So at the bottom of this index.html, the same thing applies for whenever you're putting one of these assistants and adding it as a widget.
Going to be scrolling down to this bottom section where you see all these scripts, and then I'll just drop into here, make a little bit of space, and then I can paste in. If we go back to this, we can copy our web chat and paste this in here.
I can command S to save, and then up here, Brackets allows us to do a live editor. If I click this live preview, it's going to pull up the web page for me. Now if I come down to the bottom right, we see our chat widget here pops up.
"Hi, I'm Charlie, your investing assistant." I can say, "Okay, let's try to do a tool call. What is the price of Apple?" It's going to talk to our Agentive system that we've set up, and it's going to send back the response using the tool call that we've set up.
Current price of Apple is correct. Great! So now let's try a little more complex. "What is the current daily price change for IBM and Microsoft? Compare the two." A little bit more advanced because of having to use the tool call twice, so once on IBM, second on Microsoft, doing a process of comparing those two.
And its output: "Daily price change is current daily price at this. The stock was trading at this when comparing the two. Both stocks experienced an increase in stock price," etc.
So there you have it. That is how you can put your own assistant, your own agent that you've created, both the same as we did on the ChatGPT site, but this time being able to jailbreak it out of ChatGPT and put it on a website.
Now this same approach applies for taking it onto things like WhatsApp Business, Instagram DMs, Slack, or any other deployment that you can imagine for an AI assistant. That is what Agentive is all about, and that's what we are rolling out in the next couple of weeks to be able to deploy to the different social platforms and other platforms that businesses use as well.
So you'll see this deploy tab; we not just have website but a bunch more. If you want to get on and have a play around with it, then it's going to be 100% free. As I said before, you can hop on here and follow this along step by step.
This has been just a super brief taster on how to create GPTs and how to use that exact same skill set to create and deploy powerful AI agents for businesses.
We have covered a lot in this video. I have had to leave a little bit out when it comes to the complexities of tool creation and tool usage and API authentication, all this sort of stuff. It's a little bit too advanced for this video.
I wanted to give you a beginner guide to get you started so you can take this exact same method, use Relevance AI for your tooling. You know how to do all that now.
But if you do want to see me do an entire guide on how to create advanced GPTs and AI agents with tons of real-world use case examples, then be sure to subscribe and let me know down below. If the demand is there to create an in-depth guide on advanced tool creation and things like that, then I will make the video for sure.
So let me know down in the comments below. Subscribe to the channel if you haven't already, and if you've got any value while you're down there, please leave a like on the video. It would mean a lot to me.

So what are the most important takeaways from this course? Firstly, AI agent creation is going to be one of the most valuable skills to make money online in 2024 and beyond. Not only because you can create powerful assistants to make you more productive in your personal life, but you can also build and sell AI agents to anyone who needs them.
I believe if you're going to learn a new skill and go all in on it, it is crucial that you're learning something that you can make money from for the years to come. Since all the big tech companies are rushing to create AI agent platforms, mastering the use of the three ingredients and the five key skills covered in this course will put you right in the middle of the AI industry with a skill that is in high demand.
Secondly, while the GPT store may not be a great option for some, the bigger opportunity is taking that same skill set and using it to create agents for businesses and integrating them with their operations. Just as people made millions building websites and building mobile apps, the same need is there to be building AI agents over the coming years for businesses.
Finally, if you are going to go all in on this new opportunity, be sure to check out Agentive. It is free to start deploying your own AI agents and selling them to businesses as you need.
I want to end this video with some action steps for each of you so you know exactly where to go after you finish watching this video. Firstly, subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. As I said, I have a ton more super helpful info coming on things like tool creation and GPT marketing that will be hugely valuable for you moving forward.

All I'm talking about is how you can best make money and build businesses in this AI boom that we're experiencing. So if you want to get all that information, be sure to sign up to all those in the description below.
As I did mention earlier, I do have a paid community if you want to get in there, where myself and my coaches and my team teach people how to start and scale their own AI agency, where they sell these kinds of solutions to businesses.
Over the coming weeks, both myself and my coaches will be breaking down these key skills covered in this video within workshops for our paid members. So if you're interested in getting access to that, you can sign up below and get further help on starting your own AI business.
Secondly, start researching some use cases for GPTs and AI agents. You can try out that Reddit research method tool I mentioned called Gummy Search, or you can go looking for some interesting data or APIs that you can use to create tools for your GPTs.
Thirdly, you should then go and create your first few GPTs and get used to combining the three ingredients in different ways to get different outcomes.
Number four, once you've got the hang of it, you should consider picking a niche or area that you want to specialize in and go deep on creating GPTs that help that one kind of user.
Number five, you can then start to build your profile around those kinds of people and begin building an audience on a platform of your choice by sharing helpful content on things like Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, or short-form content.
Number six, you can then look into how deploying your GPTs onto websites or other platforms via Agentive can help you increase your income further.
