Severity: High Operation Recommended Preview

What it detects

Detects custom GPTs shared beyond their owner, which stop working when OpenAI retires custom GPTs.

Why it matters

OpenAI is retiring custom GPTs. They stop working on December 11, 2026, or on February 11, 2027 for Enterprise workspaces with an approved deferral. This GPT is shared beyond its owner, so a team, department or the whole workspace may rely on it and will lose it on that date. Agree with the owner whether the GPT is still needed. If it is, the owner or a workspace admin migrates it to a ChatGPT plugin before the retirement date. Only published GPTs can be migrated, and custom actions do not transfer, so plan extra time to rebuild them. Make sure everyone listed as a recipient here gets access to the replacement. If the GPT is no longer needed, tell its users and let it retire. Dates are subject to change.

The rule

Every ChatGPT Custom GPT where Visibility is one of 'workspace-with-link,workspace,anyone-with-link,gpt-store' or Shared Users is greater than 0
