Introducing GPTs

ChatGPT took the world by storm when it launched in November 2022, showcasing the impressive power of large language models to hold natural conversations. Now OpenAI is taking things even further with GPTs - customized versions of ChatGPT that are tailored for specific purposes.

GPTs allow anyone to create a version of ChatGPT optimized for helping with a particular task, subject matter, or use case. For example, you could make a GPT that's an expert in cooking, a tutor for math homework, or even an AI dungeon master for tabletop RPGs! The key benefit of GPTs is that they provide more specialized assistance than regular ChatGPT which has broad general knowledge.

To share these helpful creations, OpenAI will soon launch the GPT Store where users can publish their own GPTs and browse ones made by others. The store will highlight popular GPTs and even allow creators to earn money as adoption of their GPT grows. This guide will walk through how to create your own GPTs, customize them for different uses, share them via the GPT Store, and best practices for GPT builders. Let's get started!

How to Create Your Own Custom GPT?

Creating a custom GPT assistant is easy and doesn't require any coding knowledge. Here are the steps:

1. Open the ChatGPT interface and look for the 'Create GPT' option. This will launch the GPT generator.
2. Name your GPT and give it a description, letting users know its purpose. Be clear about its intended use.
3. Start a dialogue with the AI assistant, defining the GPT's knowledge, skills, and how it should behave. Explain what kind of expert you want it to be.
4. Specify any additional functionalities, such as web searching, data analysis, or generating images/texts. The builder will guide you in enabling APIs.
5. Choose privacy settings, like whether the GPT's conversations can be used for training OpenAI's models.
6. Publish your GPT for personal use, or submit it to be included in the GPT repository!
