OpenAI recently announced two powerful new features: Custom GPTs and the Assistants API but it's not always obvious when you should use one or the other! In this video I do an indepth comparison of GPTs and the Assistants API to help you see the similarities, differences, and applications of the two new technologies.

Many videos on YouTube may mislead you to believe that you can deploy Custom GPTs on your website, but this is only possible with the Assistants API. I clear up this and many other GPT nuances when it comes to using these new features announced at the OpenAI DevDay. This indepth artificial intelligence comparison of the Assistants API and GPTs is perfect for both beginners and seasoned developers who want to explore the new capabilities of OpenAI!
