Killed by OpenAI

Killed by OpenAI is a free public tracker / reference resource. Check official pricing →

In Short

Killed by OpenAI is a community-built tracker that documents the lifecycle of OpenAI’s products, features, and APIs. It marks each one as alive, killed, or zombie (shipped but left to rot), and includes shutdown dates and countdowns.

Think of it as a graveyard and status board for OpenAI’s product history, handy for research, planning, and avoiding dependence on tools that may be fading.

What Killed by OpenAI Is Best For

  • Tracking OpenAI product changes: see what is active vs discontinued
  • AI product research: understand the history of features and APIs
  • Risk awareness: spot “zombie” products before building on them
  • Reference: quick lookups of shutdown dates and status

How It Differs From a Typical AI Tool

This is a reference resource rather than an AI app you use to produce work. It does not generate content. It catalogs OpenAI’s product lifecycle so you can make better decisions about what to rely on.

Honest Limitations

  • Community-maintained: it is an independent tracker, not an official OpenAI source
  • OpenAI-only: it covers OpenAI’s ecosystem, not other AI vendors
  • Verify before deciding: for critical decisions, confirm status against official OpenAI pages

Alternatives Worth Knowing

  • Perplexity, research and verify current product details
  • NotebookLM, source-grounded research and summaries
