If I want to do "build upon OpenAI's APIs without formal partnerships. " I can do it.right?

ChatGPT 说：

Yes, you absolutely can! ✅

To explain clearly:

• OpenAI's APIs (like GPT-4, DALL·E, Whisper, Assistants API, etc.) are publicly available for developers.
• Anyone — individuals, startups, big companies — can build their own apps, platforms, or services on top of OpenAI's APIs.
• You do not need a formal business partnership with OpenAI to do this.

What you do need:

1. Create an OpenAI account.
2. Agree to their Terms of Use (important: you must follow their usage policies, e.g., on safety, fairness, no illegal content, etc.).
3. Get an API key — you’ll use this key to connect your app to OpenAI’s models.
4. Pay for API usage — it's a pay-as-you-go model, based on how much you use.

In short:

→ You can build whatever product or platform you want with OpenAI's APIs,

→ As long as you follow their terms, you don't need any special license or partnership.

Would you like me to also show you a basic example of how you could "build upon OpenAI's API" (like how Agentive did)? 🚀

I can even draw a simple architecture diagram if you want! 🎯

(Just say yes!)
