Read this first

On September 11, 2026, OpenAI announced it will retire custom GPTs and move creators to plugins. Retirement is set for December 11, 2026, and some Enterprise workspaces may get later dates. Personal accounts can no longer create new GPTs, but existing GPTs keep working for now.

This list picks 100 useful GPTs from the most-used GPTs in the GPT Store, ranked by conversations as of October 14, 2026. It leaves out copycat chat clones, AI detection bypass tools, and novelty apps.

Use GPTs while they last, and watch for each tool’s plugin version as GPTs retire.

Use GPTs safely

Most GPTs come from third parties, not OpenAI
GPTs with actions can send your data to the builder’s servers
Never share passwords, ID numbers, or private documents
Health, legal, and money GPTs do not give professional advice
Verify important answers yourself

Prepare for the retirement

If you built a GPT, open My GPTs and use Migrate to plugin
Instructions turn into a skill, and knowledge files carry over
Custom actions do not carry over, so you must rebuild them
Back up the instructions and files you depend on
Track down plugin versions of your favorite GPTs

The golden rule

Do not hoard GPTs. Pick the five that truly save you time, and line up their plugin versions before December.

Writing
Research
Coding
Design
Video
Business
Careers

This week, try three GPTs from your main category and note which ones already have plugin versions.
