Build your ChatGPT App — the concrete how-to for Family 2 of LLM distribution

This is the practical build guide for Family 2 of the LLM-distribution map: an in-LLM app that lives inside the ChatGPT conversation. Two parallel series. The plain-language series(seven pages, ~1 minute each) answers “what is this and where do I start?” without assuming code. The advanced version (technical) (six pages) covers architecture, build walkthrough, guardrails, and publishing. Both framed around the regulated-industry realities an insurance actor faces: scope of advice, jurisdiction, prompt-injection defence, audit trail, data retention.

Actors who have done this

Studying what’s already in production is faster than designing from scratch. One live named example, plus the review surface where more are catalogued.

  • Tuio — Spanish digital insurer (home, life, auto, mortgage) with a ChatGPT App in production. Lets a user get a home-insurance quote directly inside the ChatGPT conversation. Built on Waniwani’s infrastructure, approved by OpenAI. Spain-regulated rather than US, but the shape — quote flow inside ChatGPT, regulated- insurer sponsor, infrastructure partner — is the same problem described in this guide.
  • Waniwani blog — independent scored reviews of live insurance and mortgage apps on ChatGPT (AIS Insurance, Neptune Flood, Insurify, and others). Useful as a read-what-ships-and- why surface.
