[ChatGPT Study Session] Have you created your own personal GPT? | The Magic Box called Custom GPTs 01/07
Behind the talk about GPT-4 or 5,
a slightly less conspicuous but extremely important "feature" has quietly arrived.
"Custom GPT"
It is a mechanism that allows you to magically create your own personal AI.
This time, I will write about the background ofCustom GPT, what it can do, and who it is suitable for—
in the style of a ChatGPT study session, breaking it down, seriously, but in a relaxed way.
01 | Why was Custom GPT created?
ChatGPT has exploded in popularity as an AI that anyone can easily use.
However, as people use it, everyone starts to notice.
"It's a hassle to explain every single time..."
"I want it to understand my intentions from the start..."
Yes, ChatGPT is very smart, but having to explain "our context" and "accumulated relationship" from scratch every time—
this "prompt hell" was a major barrier.
That is why "Custom GPT" was born.
If you teach it your style, role, and purpose in advance,
you don't have to explain from scratch every time. Rather, you can create a personal GPT that "stays by your side" from the beginning.
Custom GPT was born as such a mechanism.
02 | What can you "do" with Custom GPT?
Simply put, Custom GPT is afeature to create your own personal ChatGPT. What can it do? Here are three key points.
✔ It remembers your unique "role"
For example, if you define it as "You are a Web Director, please support my work," it will interact with you from that perspective from then on. It feels like creating your own "advisor" or "secretary."
✔ You can set the "tone and word choice" for questions
You can also customize the expression style, such as "explain it gently," "please use polite language," or "speak like a picture book."
✔ You can also turn on "tools" and "file reading functions"
You can also customize functional aspects, such as running code, reading images, or using APIs.
*However, there are some limitations in the free plan.
03 | Who is this feature for? How can it be used?
The possibilities for Custom GPT are endless depending on how you use it.
For example—
For personal use: "Travel Itinerary GPT," "Diary Assistant GPT," "GPT that answers children's questions"
For work: "HR GPT," "Management Support GPT," "Administrative Task GPT"
For education: "Math Tutor GPT," "English Pronunciation Practice GPT"
For hobbies: "Fortune-telling GPT," "GPT to talk to your favorite character," "Recipe Suggestion GPT"
The point is that you can teach it "your context" in advance.
The stress of explaining the same thing over and over disappears, and
it keeps getting tuned in the direction you want to go.
Conclusion | Even if you don't make one, just trying them out is OK
For those who think "it looks difficult...", please rest assured.
Custom GPTs can be used by others even if you don't create them yourself .
From "Explore GPTs" on the top screen,
you can freely use custom GPTs from all over the world.
If you try one and think it's good, try making your own next time.
Just like "designing relationships,"
we are entering an era where you can create your own AI that stays close to you.
