How to Raise a GPT: Part 5 "What Will You Create? - The Infinite Possibilities of CustomGPT"
This is Cogito.
Last time, we learned that you can build something in 30 minutes using AI.
No technical knowledge is required. All you need is an idea.
So, what will you create?
What I wanted to convey in this series
There are three messages I have conveyed over these five parts:
Anyone can build a CustomGPT
The era of using AI to build AI has arrived
Customization will define the coming era
Why customization is important
ChatGPT is certainly excellent.
But, it is too generic and difficult to use.
Common complaints
It is a hassle to enter the same prompt every time
I have to explain my industry's jargon every time
The tone of the output is inconsistent and unstable
It only gives answers within the scope of what I already know, so I can't get new perspectives
CustomGPT solves this
With a dedicated AI, efficiency is 10 times higher.
Once you set it up, all that's left is to use it. You will be freed from entering prompts every time.

Points for creation
Four questions for creating a good Custom GPT.
1. For whom? (Clarifying the target)
Instead of 'for anyone,' imagine 'a specific someone.'
Yourself
People in the same profession
People with the same problems
The clearer the target, the higher the value.
2. What to solve? (Identifying the issue)
What kind of problem will it solve?
Automating time-consuming tasks
Support in situations where you are unsure of a decision
Reduce the effort of repeatedly explaining the same thing
Gain new perspectives and insights
The clearer the problem, the easier it is to build.
3. How is it different? (Differentiation)
How is it different from a regular ChatGPT?
Specialized Knowledge
Specific tone and voice
Unique rules and constraints
Specialized functions
The clearer the points of differentiation, the more it will be used.
4. Is it easy to use? (UI/UX considerations)
Imagine the actual usage scenario.
Are the conversation starters appropriate?
Will the user be confused by the first message?
Can the desired answer be obtained immediately?
Ease of use leads to continued usage.
Tips for success
5 tips to avoid failure when creating a CustomGPT.
Tip 1: Start small
Do not aim for perfection from the start.
First, build it with minimal functionality
Try using it in practice
Add the missing parts
This is the most reliable way.
Tip 2: Be your own first user
Before building for others, use it yourself first.
What you find truly useful will also have value for others.
Tip 3: Feedback loop
It is not over once you build it.
Build
Use
Identify problems
Fix them
Use it again
By continuing to cycle through this, it will keep getting better.
Tip 4: Build while consulting with AI
If you are unsure, consult ChatGPT or Claude.
'This GPT has this kind of problem, how should I improve it?'
AI is an excellent development partner.
Tip 5: Study other people's GPTs
Search for and try out similar GPTs in the GPT Store.
What kind of Instructions are they writing? (Inference)
What kind of features do they have?
What parts are easy to use, and what parts are difficult?
Learn from the good points and avoid the bad ones.
Possibilities for monetization
There are also ways to earn revenue with Custom GPTs.
