Feature Request: AGI Miles — A Long-Term Membership Engagement System for ChatGPT

I would like to propose a new long-term membership engagement feature for ChatGPT: AGI Miles.

Summary

AGI Miles would be a non-financial, non-tradable membership mileage system that records a user’s long-term participation in the journey toward more advanced AI and, potentially, AGI.

The goal is not to let users invest in OpenAI or to promise future financial returns. Instead, AGI Miles would help transform ChatGPT subscriptions from a monthly tool purchase into a long-term participation relationship.

Problem

Many ordinary users may understand that ChatGPT is useful, but they may not feel a strong reason to maintain a long-term paid subscription if the value is framed only as:

• stronger models

• higher limits

• more tools

• faster access

These benefits matter, but they may not fully capture the emotional and strategic reason why users might want to stay subscribed over time.

Many users want to feel that their continued use and support of AI today is recorded, recognized, and potentially meaningful in the future AI era.

Proposal

OpenAI could introduce AGI Miles as part of the existing ChatGPT membership system.

Users would earn AGI Miles based on:

• subscription tier

• subscription duration

• continuous subscription history

• long-term engagement with ChatGPT

AGI Miles could be used for:

• membership levels

• identity badges

• profile display

• current product benefits

• priority access reference for future major AI products

• long-term user recognition

Two-Balance Design

To avoid confusion with financial products, AGI Miles could be separated into two balances.

1. Lifetime AGI Miles

These would record a user’s long-term participation history.

They would accumulate over time and would not be spent. They would mainly determine:

• membership levels

• badges

• identity status

• long-term participation records

2. Available AGI Miles

These could be used for current or near-term benefits, such as:

• additional file analysis capacity

• image generation credits

• deep research usage

• agent task capacity

• priority queues

• other advanced features

This separation would help prevent AGI Miles from being misunderstood as a financial asset while still giving users real membership value.

Possible Level Structure

A possible level structure could be:

• Observer

• Explorer

• Pathfinder

• Pioneer

• Voyager

• Architect

• Genesis Member

• Singularity Circle

Different levels could correspond to badges, membership benefits, early access opportunities, and product feedback channels.

For example, higher-level users could receive priority access to new models or features, additional task capacity, or higher-priority feedback channels.

Inspiration

This system could draw inspiration from two mature product models.

The first is credit card rewards and airline miles. Users accumulate points, status, and benefits through long-term usage. The value is not only in one-time redemption, but also in the creation of a long-term benefits account and membership identity.

The second is Steam inventory and gaming badge systems. Many users continue participating because of collection, display, rarity, and social recognition. For an AI product, AGI Miles could create a similar sense of digital identity and long-term participation.

Why It Matters for the Future AGI Era

If AI capabilities continue to improve, the scarce resources may not only be models themselves, but also:

• compute capacity

• priority access

• personal agent capabilities

• long-term memory

• multimodal generation

• task automation permissions

• service stability in high-value use cases

In that context, OpenAI may need a mechanism to identify long-term users, early supporters, and deeply engaged participants.

AGI Miles could become a bridge between today’s ChatGPT membership and future user benefits in a more advanced AI era.

It would not need to promise any fixed exchange rate or financial value. Instead, it could serve as an important reference for future product access, priority experiences, resource allocation, and user identity recognition.

Risk Controls

AGI Miles should be clearly positioned as a membership and participation system, not as a financial asset.

The rules could clearly state that:

• AGI Miles do not represent equity, debt, income rights, or cash value.

• AGI Miles do not guarantee any fixed future exchange rate.

• AGI Miles are not an investment product.

• AGI Miles are not tradable, withdrawable, or transferable.

• Future benefits depend on product design, legal requirements, resource availability, and market conditions.

• The main purpose of AGI Miles is membership status, identity display, current benefit redemption, and future priority access reference.

Note

This idea and level structure were developed through a series of in-depth conversations with ChatGPT. In that sense, the proposal itself is also an example of how ChatGPT can help ordinary users think through product strategy, business models, and future AI participation mechanisms.

One-Line Summary

AGI Miles records your journey toward the AGI era.

I believe this system could help OpenAI improve long-term subscription retention, strengthen ordinary users’ connection to OpenAI’s mission, and create a meaningful user identity system for the future AI era.
