Harness the Power of AI: Build Your Own Custom GPT Chatbot and Smart Assistant—Live and Interactive!

Education


Introduction

Aloha, and good morning! I'm Billy Wiggley, broadcasting to you live from the Ninth Island—Las Vegas, Nevada. Today, I'm excited to talk to you about building your very own custom GPT, which is your personal chatbot designed to make your life easier. Instead of having to constantly write prompts for every single interaction, you can create a GPT that already has tailored prompts integrated into it, allowing for a more conversational experience.

Understanding GPTs

GPTs serve as your custom chatbots. They enable you to engage in dialogue just like you would with a human. For instance, in my daily activities, I rely heavily on AI to run my business efficiently. I work with various personas, and each of my GPTs represents a different expert tailored to specific tasks or inquiries.

Accessing GPTs

When you access ChatGPT, you can use custom GPTs by navigating to the sidebar and selecting "Explore GPTs." Here, you can find all the available options, including your own creations under "My GPTs." If you're using ChatGPT Plus, you have the freedom to create your own GPTs with unique instructions.

Creating Your Custom GPT

To create a custom GPT that helps craft LinkedIn posts, for example, you simply initiate a conversation with it. For context, imagine you want to share a Hawaiian-themed post. You'd engage the GPT designated for this task instead of writing a lengthy prompt each time.

Once the GPT is engaged, you can issue a command like “Please create a LinkedIn post” and trust that it will generate a professional-sounding message complete with relevant hashtags. It’s akin to having a team of experts at your disposal, each ready to assist promptly.

Example of Using a Custom GPT

To give you a practical understanding, I shared an example where I engaged ‘LinkedIn Linda,’ a custom GPT designed for LinkedIn content creation. After initiating a dialogue, I instructed her to turn a Hawaiian phrase into a LinkedIn post. She responded eloquently, even posing an engaging question to generate interaction.

Building Your Own GPTs

Creating a custom GPT is straightforward:

  1. Navigate to ChatGPT: Click on "My GPTs" and select "Create a GPT."
  2. Input Instructions: You will describe the purpose of your GPT. For a business email responder, for example, you might say, “I need a GPT that helps me respond to business emails."
  3. Customize the Output: Guide how the GPT should formulate responses—whether to include greetings, emojis, or varying tones based on urgency.
  4. Test and Iterate: Once it's created, engage with it directly, and make adjustments as needed.

Example of Custom GPT Creation

Let’s say you want a business reply assistant. You can direct the GPT to always open with “Aloha” and close with “Make it a great day.” This personalization makes interactions feel more genuine and tailored.

You can further enhance your GPT by integrating a knowledge base if it applies, allowing your chatbot to retrieve specific information provided previously. This is particularly useful for customer service bots that need to reference company policies.

Utilizing AI in Everyday Business

AI has become a game changer in terms of productivity and efficiency. For a nominal fee, you can access powerful tools that were once much more expensive and resource-intensive. Whether you are creating quizzes, marketing materials, or need specialized assistance like drafting emails, your custom GPTs can streamline the entire process.

Conclusion

The world of AI, particularly with custom GPTs, opens up endless possibilities for individuals looking to boost their productivity. These tools grow more advanced and accessible every day. So don’t miss out! Start building your own custom AI assistants and see how they can help you achieve your goals seamlessly.
