How to Make a Video Game With ChatGPT in 60 Minutes - Ep. 9 with Logan Kilpatrick

You can build a video game without writing a single line of code.

Logan Kilpatrick and I use ChatGPT and GPT Builder to make our own video game in less than 60 minutes—live on this show.

Logan is OpenAI’s first dev relations and advocacy hire and is committed to empowering more people to build using AI.

It’s only fitting that we explore the depths of our own creativity by making a video game with GPT Builder—we start with a rough idea and iterate all the way up to a functional video game in < 1 hour.

This episode is full of Logan’s actionable insights on leveraging GPT Builder and ChatGPT to build any custom GPT that you’d like.

We get into:

• How ChatGPT is enabling the next billion software developers
• How GPT Builder is expanding the horizon of people who can build things
• Why he thinks coding is the most high-leverage thing anyone can do in their life
• How to increase the chances your custom GPT will go viral
• Tips to use GPT Builder like a pro to create great custom GPTs
