The OpenAI Launch Nobody's Talking About (ChatGPT Skills) · aired December 22, 2025 · hosted by Greg Isenberg

Why it works

There is a significant pain point for developers who get stuck, and the service aims to provide quick solutions through expert consultations.

The playbook

Creating a marketplace that connects developers with experts for short, focused help sessions.

Also mentioned

The concept draws on the increasing number of 'vibe coders', or individuals who are coding without formal training.

Why this works now (our analysis)

GitHub's recent introduction of Discussions provides a platform where developers can seek advice on project roadblocks. Last 20 can leverage this feature to connect developers with experts through targeted interactions, creating a direct channel for initial revenue. The service could charge $15 to $50 per session, appealing to users seeking quick solutions. A notable risk is the reliance on expert availability; if experts are not consistently accessible, it could hinder the service's ability to deliver timely support, impacting customer satisfaction and retention.
