Ask HN: What are the best use cases for custom GPTs

7 points by miletus ↗ HN
I'm looking for ideas that have really high demand

for eg: For example: a customer service agent for a Shopify store, integrated with a RAG system and the customer database.

There are many such ideas. would love to hear your favorites.

i'm looking for ideas that people can build. we're working on a platform that lets anyone build their own GPT wrappers and AI Agents in 60 seconds

here's the link: buildthatidea.com

Then maybe you should tell us the best use cases.

What problems do you solve with your product?

it allows anyone to build their own GPTs without writing a single line of code. unlike openai's custom GPTs, we support multiple models like deepseek, llama, openai, claude etc

Our goal is to help people launch their own AI business. OpenAI's Custom GPTs never took off because they didn’t allow monetization, so people never shared their GPTs.

We're planning to launch a marketplace where people can list their GPTs, and others can try them out

we're targeting

1) Consultants/ Experts

These are individuals with specialized knowledge (fitness, health, investing, marketing, tax, etc.) who want to monetize their expertise through an AI tool.

Experts like Bryan Johnson, Nikita Bier, and professionals who sell advice on Intro.co, topmate.io

Service providers such as real estate agents, lawyers, tax agent, travel agent, fitness trainers, etc.

- Real estate agents can create an AI assistant for property recommendations.

- Personal trainers can build a custom AI workout assistants.

2) Course Creators

Many course creators and educators want to turn their course into recurring AI business

Example Use Case: A PM expert like Lenny can create an assistant that answers questions related to product management. he used to teach on maven

3) Indie hackers and No-code builders

they want to test ideas without high upfront investment.

4) businesses looking for custom solutions

they can create website support bot, company knowledge base bot etc
