Does OpenAI Offer Profit Sharing for Third-Party GPT-Based Browser Extensions?

Hello Community,
I am developing a web browser extension that integrates a custom GPT-based assistant. The assistant leverages FastAPI on the server to encapsulate the business logic, and users supply their own API keys for authentication.
My question is about monetization: Does OpenAI offer any profit-sharing or revenue-splitting policy for third-party applications like mine? Specifically, is there any provision for sharing revenue with the assistant creator based on the assistant_id generated by user_id?
Best,
Andy

Andy, based on OpenAI's publicly available documentation and policies, OpenAI does not offer any built-in profit-sharing model for third-party applications that use their API—even when those applications integrate custom GPT-model assistants. In your case, since users are providing their own API keys, the billing and associated costs are handled directly between the user and OpenAI. All API usage is charged according to the standard pricing model, and there is no percentage of revenue or fee shared with the creator of the assistant.
For any specific scenarios or contractual arrangements beyond the standard API usage, you’d need to discuss directly with OpenAI, but as of now, no general profit-sharing policy exists.
Hope this helps!
