Introducing Custom Tools

Creating your own GPT Tools is now as simple as typing in the name and purpose of the tool. Our intelligent AI takes over from there, crafting a tool that aligns with your specified goals. Here's what to expect:

• The tool autonomously generates clarifying questions. Users can interact with these questions to refine their inputs, guiding the tool towards the desired output with ease.
• All the beloved functionalities of Beam's Tools are still there. You can edit outputs, copy them to the clipboard, or export them directly to a Word document, all within the same intuitive interface.
• Your creations are not just functional; they are also visible. Custom tools appear in the dedicated custom section of the Tools page, allowing easy access and management.
• These custom tools are fully integrated into other features of Beam platform. This means you can use the tool with other agents you have created.

We're excited to announce that Beam's waitlist has ended, making Generative AI agents universally accessible to everyone.
