What you'll learn

Know what goes into a ChatGPT App submission

What’s a good app name, tool descriptions, privacy policy, test account, verified organization, logos and screenshots.

Recognize the common rejection reasons so you can flag risks

Avoid vague tool descriptions, requesting unnecessary data or misleading metadata.

Understand the current platform constraints

Today, you can only sell physical goods, no ads, restricted to a general audience (13+), limited data you can collect.

Map out a realistic timeline from idea to published app

Including what gets locked after approval and when you'd need to re-submit.

Why this topic matters

OpenAI reviews every ChatGPT App before it goes live. Many submissions get rejected for avoidable reasons. This lesson gives PMs and business leaders an overview of the process, the platform constraints that affect what you can build, and the pitfalls that delay approval. You'll leave knowing what to expect and what to ask your dev team to take advantage of this new distribution opportunity

Founder, Level 250 | 3x VP Product Management

I’m Emmanuel, an entrepreneur, product management executive, and consultant at Level 250 with over 15 years of experience shaping products.

I’ve led large API programs in fintech for Verisk, Moody’s, and Precisely, and served as VP of Product for some of the world’s most influential API tools - like API Blueprint at Apiary (550,000+ APIs), Oracle’s first Cloud-Native API Gateway, and Swagger at SmartBear (750,000+ APIs).

Over the years, I’ve consulted with everyone from Fortune 500 CEOs to startup founders, engaging with thousands of PMs, developers and consumers to help them build winning products and ecosystems.

My passion is to make products more impactful and user-friendly, which is why I created Build AI-Ready APIs: A Hands-On Workshop for Engineers and PMs: to share my lessons learned and help Product Managers and Engineers fast-track their careers.

Join me to gain practical insights, avoid common pitfalls, and learn how to deliver Developer Products that enable great user experiences, without repeating the mistakes I’ve already made along the way.
