Pickaxe is a creator-focused productivity platform that centralizes workflows, assets, and communication to help teams ship faster with less friction

I used Pickaxe to create the AI Passion Project Generator because a lot of students don't really know where to start on how to create a project that helps them stand out in admissions.
Cathy ToppingFounder of Your Web Toolkit
Pickaxe allows me to have standalone products that I then sell like I would sell a course or anything else.

Making the move.

A few answers before you start.

How do I move my GPT to Pickaxe?

Copy your instructions and gather your original knowledge files. Add them to a new Pickaxe agent, test a few familiar prompts, then publish. Rebuild integrations separately; chat history and existing GPT links do not transfer.

Will it work the same way?

You can reuse your instructions and knowledge, but answers may differ between models and platforms. Test and refine your new agent before sharing it with your audience.

Can I charge for access?

Yes. Set up subscriptions, usage-based access, or one-time payments. Your plan, AI usage, and payment processing affect the cost. See how monetization works.

When do I need to make the move?

OpenAI’s planned retirement date for affected Enterprise workspaces is December 11, 2026. Follow your own account or workspace notice for timing. OpenAI also offers a migration path to plugins if you want to stay in ChatGPT. Read OpenAI’s announcement.
