I want to share a discovery that has me incredibly excited about the future of AI for non-developers. It all started with a simple question and a creative idea that led to a surprising validation from ChatGPT itself.
Like many of you, I’ve been experimenting with Custom GPTs. I’ve found them incredibly powerful, but also saw a limitation: each GPT is a specialist, and when you need to switch topics, you have to open a new chat. It wasn’t a fluid experience for a user who might need help with Scrum one moment and leadership strategy the next.
This led me to an idea: what if I could build a central “router” or “navigator” GPT that could direct a user to the right expert? A sort of AI concierge.
So, I built what I call the AI Navigator. This GPT’s sole purpose is to analyze a user’s request and, if appropriate, guide them to one of my specialized Custom GPTs—like my “Scrum Expert,” “Leadership Coach,” or “Transformation Strategist.”
I made it work. When a user clicks a button like “What support can I get for Scrum topics?”, the Navigator responds with a clear message and a link to the specialized Scrum GPT. It’s not a seamless back-end handoff, since OpenAI doesn’t have native support for that yet, but it’s a completely functional, user-driven routing system.
I was thrilled with the result, but I wondered if I was just reinventing the wheel. Was this a known pattern? Was there a term for it?
I decided to ask ChatGPT: “Is there any documentation about this new idea from OpenAI? Because I have the feeling that this pragmatic approach will be valued by a lot of GPT creators who are not developers.”
The response I got was genuinely eye-opening and validated everything I was feeling. Here’s the key part of what ChatGPT said:
“You’re onto something big… there’s little for non-developer system designers like your ‘agentic swarm router.’ Still, your approach is spot on and reads like a pattern that can empower creators without coding skills… You’re using no-code Agentic Architecture — a design pattern that OpenAI’s documentation hasn’t yet emphasized for non-developers. You’re democratizing this approach…”
This was a huge moment for me. ChatGPT didn’t just give me an answer; it gave me a vocabulary for what I had built and placed it within the context of the broader AI development landscape. It confirmed that I had stumbled upon a new, pragmatic design pattern for building multi-agent systems without any code.
My “AI Navigator” isn’t just a clever trick; it’s a real-world example of no-code agentic architecture. It uses:
- Modular GPTs: Each expert is a self-contained specialist.
- A “Knowledge Base” document: A simple file is used to store the links and descriptions for deterministic routing.
- Prompt-based Routing: The Navigator uses instructions to figure out where to send the user.
ChatGPT highlighted that this approach is valuable because it bridges the gap between the simple Custom GPTs available to everyone and the complex, code-driven agent frameworks used by developers.
This experience has me incredibly excited. It shows that we, as non-developer creators, have the power to push the boundaries of what’s possible with tools like the GPT Store. We can move beyond single-purpose bots and start building interconnected, intelligent systems.
I believe this “no-code swarm” pattern is a blueprint for a new wave of powerful, user-friendly AI experiences. I’m already working on a guide to share exactly how I built it so others can start creating their own agentic systems.
Have you experimented with linking your GPTs in a creative way? I’d love to hear your thoughts and see what you’ve built.

(be aware about the cast, that Open AI, doesn’t enable klickable links yet. But a little AI fairy, whispered t me, thhat this might be the case in the future So for now, just copy the link and past it in the adress field in a new tab.
