What is a Custom GPT?
A Custom GPT is a personalized version of ChatGPT that you design for your own use or to share with others. Think of it like having your own virtual assistant that is tailored to your tone, style, business, or workflows. It will save time, keep your brand voice consistent and help personalize your workflow.
You can give it:
• Instructions about how to behave (tone, expertise, personality).
• Knowledge it should reference (like business info, FAQs, policies).
• Tools to connect with (like Google Drive, email, or other integrations).
So instead of starting from scratch each time, you have a ready-to-go assistant trained to think, write, and respond the way you want.
You may already know how to do this, however, I am sharing for those like me that kept hearing about custom GPT’s and had no idea how to create one. Turns out it is very simple.
How Do You Create One?
The process is surprisingly simple—no coding required. If I can do it, so can you.
Go to ChatGPT App or Website
On the left-hand panel, click “Explore GPTs” or “Create a GPT.” (this may also be at the top)
Walk Through the Builder
OpenAI gives you a step-by-step wizard where you:
o Describe what your GPT is for.
o Set its tone (professional, warm, concise, etc.).
o Upload extra information or links (like your company info or FAQs).
o Add special instructions (e.g., “Always format newsletters with headings”
Test and Refine
Try it out, see how it responds, and tweak the settings until it feels just right.
Optional – Share It
You can keep it private, share with your team, or even publish it publicly in the GPT Store if you want others to use it.
I’d love to hear what you have created a GPT for in your business (or life).
