Everyone in the AI space, including prominent voices on platforms like Medium, is discussing the potential of AI agents to shape our future and how they will be applied in a myriad of sectors.
One simple indication is that the number of related searches.
Around 238 million searches from January 2023 to January 2024
Here in January 2023 - January 2024, almost 503 million searches it has almost doubled.
One reason for the growing demand for AI agents (such as those in the form of workflows or chatbots) is the meteoric rise of AI and the ever-increasing accessibility of AI technologies, including GenAI and ChatGPT.
While citizen developers and domain experts have valuable domain knowledge that can be applied to areas such as marketing automation and financial advice using AI, making this solution accessible to a wider audience is much more than creating a powerful prompt for ChatGPT.
They have a lot to think through before they can make their AI solutions or agents available to the public:
- Infrastructure (where their solution will run)
- Data integration (what data to use)
- Security (what security and authentication mechanisms to use)
- Connection to APIs (which external services to use)
- User registration (how to manage users)
- Monetisation (and how to make it all lucrative and affordable)
This is where AI chatbot marketplaces come in. They step in to provide the necessary infrastructure and handle the complexities of deployment, marketing and monetisation. Marketplaces effectively bridge the gap between creators and a global audience. In this blog post we will talk about them and look at key features such as
- External APIs
- Infrastructure
- Data Ingestion
- API Integration
- Authentication
- Monetisation
- Developer Control
- Pricing (for users)
- Flexibility
We will look at leading platforms such as GPT Store, Poe, Character.ai, Dify and n8n.
