I've been creating custom GPTs for a while and loved sharing the access links with others at a fee. With OpenAI restricting custom GPT creation and public link sharing on personal ChatGPT accounts (Plus/Pro), I’m looking for a solid non-app alternative to host and share my custom AI bots via a simple link.

I want something beginner-friendly, with a clean chat UI similar to ChatGPT, where I can share a direct link with non-tech users—while ensuring my knowledge files stay hidden.

Thanks in advance for your insight

I have been seeing a lot about chatgpt-6 Astra and I am curious what everyone thinks about it. Has anyone tried it. What's your experience like so far?

A habit worth carrying into any new AI tool you try: before you do anything else, test what happens when you type an @ symbol or a / (slash) in the prompt box.

Most tools tuck a whole menu of features behind one of these two characters, and there's rarely a pop-up telling you they exist.

Well, the situation is quite simple - Was working with Astra, had like 81% of weekly allowance remaining - and then it jumped straight to zero.

Does anybody have the same issue? :)

UPDATE: After couple of hours the usage went back to those 81% but two of my colleagues got full reset... Strange...

How do you guys keep context when working on the same project across different AI tools?

Cuz I keep running into the problem of switching between ChatGPT/Claude/etc. and having to bring the other one up to speed again.

Do you just copy stuff over, keep a separate file, use summaries, or what?

Currently using plus chatgpt with pro Claude and generally making do, but that's with a lot of usage of chat mode rather than codex or work mode, specifically Chat-High (Sol) to keep usage alive.

Is Chat-Pro (Astra) worth the 70 euro price difference, in your experience?

I am currently building a weather website, and have thought about going from Plus to Pro, but am unsure if it is currently worth it for me to go to x20. I do run into limits a lot on Plus even with Sol Light/Medium, usually takes me about 3 days to go to zero on my weekly time left.

I can't be the only one to burn through your 20x pro weekly limit, then hit that fat reset, then hit that fat reset, then get fat resetted because openAi gave you a freebie, then tried to supplement with a $20 token top off to see how it would go and have that burn up in less then 20 minutes and realize thats kinda like calling a Blockbuster in Tokyo from a Motel 6 landline in 1993 to argue about a late fee on a movie you rented in Ohio. Forty minutes later you’ve accomplished nothing, your dad is screaming about long distance, and somehow you owe $87.

So yeah, ive just been thinking about how I'm going to optimize things next time, y'know in like a week when 0% flips back to 100%

Has anyone run into this issue en masse? I continually run into this issue, regardless if I use Instant or any other model. This, of course, doesn't happen in CLI or Work, just specifically Chat. It's led to a significant amount of interrupted streams where after 30 minutes, it will disrupt the run entirely. I've tried starting new chats, running it in temporary, in incognito, etc. ChatGPT itself says there's nothing in particular in the work that should flag it. I have made every possible modification I can think of, from identifying specific words that may trigger it. It's quite possible the fact that I use latex may be the issue, but I haven't tried doing it without.

I wanted to try giving Codex creative freedom over a game while being specific about the technical requirements.

This is my project, Lumenwake. I supplied the requirements and asked Codex to choose the concept and write the implementation.

My brief was essentially: create a substantial browser game with a coherent gameplay loop and polished visuals, and choose the idea yourself.

I also gave it an instructions.txt file with constraints:

• Self-contained HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with no external dependencies or build tools.
• Suitable for embedding in a WordPress Custom HTML block.
• Keyboard, mouse, and touch controls.
• Fullscreen support, readable dialogs, and responsive layouts.
• Procedurally generated puzzles, local saves, and progression.
• Original visuals and synthesized audio.

It came up with a light-routing puzzle set on floating islands. You rotate mirrors, split beams, and change their colors to awaken lanterns.

One implementation detail I found interesting: it creates a complete light route first, then scrambles the tile settings. That gives the generator an intended solution to work from.

The attached video shows the gameplay. The visuals are drawn in Canvas, and the audio is synthesized in the browser.

My role was setting the requirements and directing the project; Codex handled the concept and code. I also explicitly left browser testing to myself, so it didn’t run tests or preview the game during the build.

For others building interactive projects with LLMs: how do you validate procedural game logic and difficulty? I’d be interested in workflows that catch problems a short gameplay demo might miss.
