Who GPTAcademy accepts

You need
An AI tool or a Custom GPT

What you actually get
A card in a directory that separates ordinary AI tools from Custom GPTs listed in the OpenAI store, and also runs alternatives pages and courses. The link follows: the Visit AI Tool control on a live listing carries no rel at all. The site is built on Softr over Airtable, so listings are records rather than pages and the URLs carry a recordId.

Gotchas

The image field refuses to be a logo: it asks for a thumbnail or screenshot, so a pack that only carries an icon has nothing to give it.
Both description fields are capped in sentences rather than characters, one sentence and three, which is a tighter budget than most forms.
The paid checkbox sits at the bottom just above Submit, so it is easy to agree to $7.99 while trying to finish the form.
