Our Story

The Shopify of
ChatGPT Apps

Everyone is relevant to someone. Every business deserves a voice in the AI conversation. We transform businesses into AI-native entities, discoverable within the world's most powerful conversational interface.

The Opportunity We Seized

ChatGPT has 800 million active users. On December 17, 2025, OpenAI opened the App Directory. This is the largest platform shift since the App Store launch in 2008 - and we have a 30-day first-mover window before competitors react.

800M+

ChatGPT Users

The largest AI platform in history, growing every day. A massive new distribution channel for businesses.

6-12mo

Build Time

The time it takes most companies to build a ChatGPT App from scratch with in-house developers.

$150K+

Development Cost

The average cost of hiring developers to build MCP servers, OAuth flows, and widget UIs.

40%

Rejection Rate

Submissions rejected by OpenAI due to policy violations, poor annotations, or technical issues.

The businesses that establish presence NOW will become the default answers when users ask ChatGPT for recommendations. This is a first-mover window that will close within 30 days when no-code competitors add ChatGPT export features. But most businesses are locked out today - not because they lack great products, but because they lack the technical resources to build ChatGPT Apps.
