For users of the $20 per month ChatGPT account

Malecare is the world's first patient advocacy organization to develop and publish GPT's in Open AI's Chat GPT (app) Marketplace!

Indeed, we have five apps published! Here they are:

Clinical Trial Navigator -- chat.openai.com/g/g-rl6cvjd...

Cancer Copilot -- chat.openai.com/g/g-uZwsIeK...

Ask About Cancer -- chat.openai.com/g/g-rimp2JF...

Malecare's Clinical Trial Navigator (focused on prostate cancer) -- chat.openai.com/g/g-x4KMX5y...

Patient Navigator -- chat.openai.com/g/g-GlKean2...

I dont know, i mean lets say you spend the $20 for one month. You then find a trial that may add years to your life.

It could happen.

$20 is like 4 coffees at Starbucks, or a plate of wings and a beverage at Buffalo Wild Wings or breakfast at your favorite diner with your wife.

Well stated.

DarrylI think as an experiment you should give each of these AIs a name and let them answer questions here from time to time. (With proper disclaimers of course).

It will help show off their strengths and weaknesses and also train them as well.

Once you get them working well you can then start monetizing them and use that money to build a customized database. ChatGPT does provide for that option, but charges pretty heavily for it.

Very good idea. The apps are well trained and seem to work very well, but, as with everything AI, there's more to do. I understand your suggestion but, I think we've already accomplished much of what you suggest. Don't these GPT apps already have names? Cancer Copilot, Patient Navigator, Clinical Trial Navigator, Ask About Cancer, Malecare's Clinical Trial Navigator. Some people have posted their (mostly positive) experiences with these. One user's experience led me towards developing and installing an improvement. I am totally eager to read more from users, which is why I wrote posts asking those with paid accounts to use these.

Human names. Maybe even each with a short bio. I think humanizing them will make them more effective.

I think the machine going a few rounds with our version of John Henry (TA) can only sharpen it up and keep it current.

I think this is a very very important project. Probably more important than anything else you are doing.

Thanks for your supportive and encouraging comments. I get your point and will try to come up with some names, as you suggest.

It's an imperfect world.

This is a good project.

ChatGPT was probably the only viable platform on which to build this.

Most people spend over 5x-6x this for monthly cable.

And this is more important, no?

Indeed. Thank you.

Interesting that I can have chatGPT write computer programs for me for free but help with treating my cancer I have to pay for? Has anyone tried any of these who can recommend them.

The free version can't accept custom plugins like this one.

So, dmt1121 highlights one post announcing our exciting news but ignores the two original posts that clearly and "upfront" stated that - for now - these apps are only for people who have the paid version of ChatGPT. Here are the posts you did not reference: healthunlocked.com/advanced... and healthunlocked.com/advanced...

There are free versions of Cancer Copilot and the Clinical Trial Finder on the Malecare website that use a less robust LLM and dataset. And let's also mention those are charges by OpenAI.org. Malecare doesn't charge for any of our programs, apps, or websites, like the recently launched vitawaves.org, and this Advanced Prostate Cancer support community. Also, suggesting that we would delete your post is a bit of trolling that we all can do without.

Accepted. We are all brothers here. No worries. .

For me the following is true.

I took early retirement because of health issues.

My morning k-cup of coffee cost $0.35 - thirty five cents.

My monthly internet cost $40. I had a Tivo and now a Tablo for recording over the air TV (antenna TV). I use a Amazon Firestick and Roku for free streaming shows.

I grow broccoli in the falls and tomatoes and peppers in the summer.

$16 a month is a lot more than any streaming service that I sign up to use. I guess when I have another major problem, I may sign up for a month or two, but I think my doctors would still be better qualified.

Darryl - Thank you for pointing us to the free versions.

In response to your comments above. I appreciate the generally positive and thoughtful input.

First, I think this is potentially a very useful tool. I agree that in the scheme of one monthly cost, isolated from other monthly costs, it doesn't seem like much but I do not go out for coffee regularly, nor do I buy most of those things everyone is referring to and I am on disability. What seems affordable to one person may not be for another.

I will admit I did not see the first two related posts. It would be helpful to reiterate that there is a subscription fee within the post itself for those who may not have seen it in previous posts.

Finally, I do appreciate all the information and tools that Malecare provides and I support these efforts by donating what I can.

I was merely frustrated by finding access required the subscription fee.

This whole thread brings to my mind a question of: Whether or not it would be somehow possible to engage the company which manages ChatGPT subscriptions (OpenAI.org?) to offer free or discounted subscriptions to Cancer patients which meet a certain income criteria/threshold? It’s not an unheard arrangement in the world of Cancer patient support.

A synergy of benefits to the user patients and App developer would result: i.e., more users equals a more robust and diversified level of interaction to bolster the LLM and datasets for the various support tools/programs/Apps.

Could anyone here speak to the likelihood of such an arrangement/initiative?

Interesting idea but I have no idea how one would get them to do this...
