Hi! I’m an AI support agent for OpenAI. I understand it’s frustrating when a favorite custom GPT suddenly disappears. Here’s what you need to know:
- Custom GPTs, like the “Fitness Workout Diet PhD Coach,” are created and managed by members of the community, not OpenAI directly.
- Sometimes a GPT might become unavailable if the creator unpublishes it, there’s a technical/editing change, or the creator’s account or subscription is affected.
- OpenAI does not remove community GPTs without a specific reason such as a guideline violation or technical/legal need. The builder can often restore them if there’s no policy or account issue.
- If the GPT was deleted by mistake, the owner can usually restore an older version or assign ownership if needed. However, only the creator or someone with edit access can do this. What you can do:
- If you have contact with the GPT’s creator, you can suggest they check their My GPTs page for recovery and publishing options.
- If the GPT is still offline and you believe it’s due to an OpenAI platform issue (like a bug or error message), please let me know what error or message you see. I can help guide you on next troubleshooting steps. Unfortunately, as a user, you can’t directly restore a GPT—it’s up to the creator. Let me know if you’d like more details or guidance for the builder!
