ChatGPT App Build

Put your business inside ChatGPT.

Your customers are already there. Meet them where they are with a business-specific app that answers questions, captures interest, books a meeting, collects client intake, and follows up from inside the conversation.

A fixed-scope build with a delivery date, a defined workflow, and project-specific code you own.

Builds start at $1,500. The Full Build is $3,500. OpenAI controls application approval; approval, ranking, and traffic are not guaranteed.

The category

A business front door inside ChatGPT.

This is a fixed-scope software build for a real customer workflow — not a website widget, not a prompt file, and not an open-ended agency retainer.

Not a website chatbot

Your website remains your owned home base. This gives prospects another way to find and contact your business.

Not a Custom GPT

The app is built around defined business actions, branded cards, calendar behavior, and email delivery.

Not an agency retainer

You receive a scoped build, a delivery date, source code, documentation, and a clear maintenance option.

How it works

A working system, not a concept deck.

01

Map the front door

The Strategy Session maps the questions, proof, qualification points, and next action that matter to your business.

02

Build the verified flow

Ray builds the included cards, verification, email workflow, intake, and single-use booking flow, then tests the defined customer path.

03

Submit and hand off

The application is prepared for submission, documented, and handed to your team with a defined operating workflow.

The verified five-tool workflow

Each tool moves the conversation forward.

Only the capabilities currently verified in a live application are included in the published offer.

01

Lead capture

Turn a ChatGPT conversation into a clear lead.

A prospect shares their name, email, and what they need. The app renders the submission as a branded card, verifies the email with a six-digit code, and sends the lead to your inbox.

02

Answers and education

Answer the questions that usually stall a decision.

Your services, process, pricing guidance, service area, and qualifications are answered from your approved business content — not a generic guess.

03

Appointment booking

Move an interested prospect to a scheduled conversation.

The app generates a private, single-use Calendly link so a ready prospect can book directly from the conversation.

04

Client intake

Collect the context needed before the meeting.

Once someone is booked, the app gathers the project, property, budget, or business details your intake requires so you arrive prepared.

05

Follow-up

Give every conversation a useful next step.

A branded information packet or follow-up email goes out through the defined email workflow, including to people who did not book immediately.

Pricing

Choose the starting point that fits.

Every tier is a project with a defined scope. The Strategy Session decides what should be built before development begins.

Questions

What buyers usually ask.

Why not just add a chatbot to my website?+

A website chatbot reaches people who already found your website. This app gives people a way to discover, understand, and contact your business from inside the ChatGPT conversation they are already having. The two serve different entry points.

Public FAQ

Is this a Custom GPT?+

No. This is a business-specific application with defined actions, branded cards, real email delivery, and appointment booking. The work is scoped as software with your business name and workflow on it, not as a general prompt persona.

Public FAQ

Will my app be listed publicly in ChatGPT?+

Ray prepares and submits the application. OpenAI decides approval, listing, ranking, and timing according to its own review standards. Approval is not guaranteed. The application is functional and shareable whether or not it is approved for public listing. One round of remediation and resubmission is included if OpenAI requests changes.

Public FAQ

Who owns the code?+

You do on final payment. The handoff includes the complete project-specific source and deployment documentation. Your business content and connected accounts remain yours. Third-party platform terms and reusable components remain subject to their original licenses.

Public FAQ

What if ChatGPT changes its platform specifications?+

Platform specifications change, which is why hosting and maintenance is $250 per month beginning 30 days after delivery. That covers hosting, uptime monitoring, and required updates to keep the defined application working. New tools, new systems, and major changes are quoted separately.

Public FAQ

How do I know whether the app is working?+

Measure the operational outcomes: leads arriving in your inbox, appointments appearing on your calendar, follow-up emails delivered, and the source attached to each conversation. Set the baseline during the Strategy Session so the build has a clear business threshold.

Public FAQ

Why can't I build this myself?+

You can. It requires designing the customer flow, defining tool schemas, handling email and calendar behavior, testing failure states, preparing the submission, and documenting the handoff. The service is for operators who want the work built around their business rather than turning it into an internal software project.

Sales conversation

Can we start smaller?+

Yes. Front Door at $1,500 covers lead capture and answers. The Full Build adds appointment booking and follow-up at $3,500. The Strategy Session helps decide which starting point fits before development begins.
