FlowGPT is a startup aiming to create an "app store" for generative AI models, allowing users to build and share their own AI-powered apps. The platform offers a collection of infrastructure and creator tools tied to a marketplace and community of users. Users can interact with AI apps through a chat window, providing prompts and customizing the behavior and appearance of the apps.

FlowGPT heavily relies on OpenAI's ChatGPT model, with many apps essentially being prompts designed to prime the model to respond in certain ways. However, some of these prompts break when the model is switched from the default, either due to the selected model lacking the right capabilities or running up against the model's filters and safeguards.

The platform currently faces moderation issues, with some apps designed to circumvent safety measures or provide potentially harmful content. Despite these concerns, FlowGPT has recently raised a $10 million "pre-Series A" round led by Goodwater, with the company planning to expand its offerings and grow its team.
