As you get more comfortable using ChatGPT, the idea of customizing it to work specifically with your set of knowledge or specifically the way you want it to work becomes more and more appealing. So instead of having to upload the same files or do things over and over again repeatedly, the idea of creating your own customized version of ChatGPT becomes a very interesting idea. So with this in mind, with a custom GPT, you're going to need to have some sort of knowledge base.
And the idea is with a custom GPT, you're going to be creating essentially an AI knowledge assistance, your own customized AI. And so you want to think about what kinds of assistance, what kind of knowledge would you like to have your assistant have that would be helpful for you in doing your job or your tasks, or could be helpful for other people in your company to do their tasks, and you could create it for them. So a few examples are customer support.
Maybe there's typical FAQs, you know, frequently asked questions. Maybe there's common issues that people are often troubleshooting that instead of having to continually reach out to somebody else to deal with those, they could ask the AI to get help for that. Within a company, there's often internal policies, and they need to look for help within the company for company-related issues.
HR, company policies, there could be FAQs where instead of having to read through all of them and find the appropriate one, if you feed this knowledge into ChatGPT, it can become your own AI knowledge assistant, a person that could answer those questions. Same thing with the IT help desk. There could be common things that they're always getting requests to fix certain issues where if people could ask the AI and the AI can tell them how to fix those issues, then that can help out so that, you know, people can get answers faster without having to bother people.
And, you know, of course, they can always escalate it to a real person if necessary, but they can get that response faster than having to wait for somebody to respond. Product recommendations. Let's say you're dealing with customers and you want to input their information and try to find what are personalizations that you can do, what are products that are appropriate for them, what are ways that we could upsell, and, you know, you could kind of give it a customer profile and say what are things that I should recommend to this particular customer based on their kind of profile.

There could be planning and creation of content and marketing. It could be from planning to email campaigns to social media. This could be not only the creation of things, but it could be the planning.
It could be the idea generation. All of these things you can tailor to maybe a specific way in which you want to do your content writing, your email campaigns. Instead of the general knowledge is when you want to tailor things your specific way that you can create your own custom GPT.
So first you have to decide what kind of knowledge assistance, what kind of AI customization do you want to do. And second, then you need to gather your documents, your knowledge, your policies, your best practices. So for example, with marketing and content generation, if you're a writer, you could have examples of your writing.
You could have best practices, things you always like to do. So write down the best practices of how you like to structure your content, things you like to do, things you like to avoid, and take all of that stuff and put it into text files, Word documents, PDFs, Excel files, whatever that is that you can upload into this custom GPT so that it can be trained on your specific stuff for your knowledge assistant only for your custom GPT. Next is then actually the time to create it.
If you're creating this yourself, you would go over here and go to explore GPTs, go to create, and in the create tab here, you talk back and forth, and it's going to ask you questions. And as you go through, it's going to essentially fill out the stuff over here in the configure tab. But initially, it's a good thing to just start with the create tab, go through, answer its questions.
And then once you're kind of done with that chat experience, then switch over to the configure tab where it's going to have pre-filled out all of this stuff based on the information you gave it here in the chat. And it's in here that you can also then upload files, for example, here. And this is where you can give it your knowledge.
Once this is all done, over here on the right is going to be a preview, and you can actually interact with it and chat with it and see how it works. If necessary, come back and refine the information over here. And once you're all done, then hit create, and you have your own custom GPT.
So think about what kind of GPT you would like to create. What could be helpful not only for you, maybe, but also helpful for other people in your company. And gather that information and try to create your own custom GPT and see how it can help you.
So you don't have to keep uploading the same files and reiterating the same things. You can save that into a custom GPT that you can use over and over and over again, and you can share with others.
