statistics, marketing<\/a> cookies to watch this video. <\/div>\n<\/p>\nNote: We\u2019re showing how to make custom GPTs within OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT, but you can use this same method to make Gemini Gems, Claude Projects or Copilot Agents. There really is no difference.<\/em><\/p>\nWhy build a Custom GPT?<\/h2>\n
If the task is done more than twice, or if your process that has multiple steps with involving multiple ad-hoc prompts, you have an opportunity to make a little tool with big benefits:<\/p>\n
\n- Custom GPTs are easy to reuse and share<\/strong>
Use them anytime; share them with anyone. You need a paid account (ChatGPT Plus) to create one, but the people you share it with don\u2019t need anything at all. Just the link. Once they click it, they\u2019ll see the custom GPT in their left-side menu. They click it there or just typing the @ sign in any prompt.<\/li>\n- Custom GPT standardize your best processes<\/strong>
Standards are good for quality, performance and efficiency. When you codify a process within an automation, your best practices are built into the tool. Custom GPTs support the high-skilled workflows of less-expert users. They are reusable tools for repeatable systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMake one that does something you\u2019re already very good at. This is your opportunity to turn your personal expertise into codified best practices.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s plan. The first step in building anything is to define the goal. Because we\u2019re building an AI automation, we\u2019ll also define what the user gives it (inputs) and how the AI responds (outputs). I\u2019ve borrowed this little framework from AI pioneer, Christopher Penn. The examples are from the custom GPT I built in the video above.<\/p>\n
\n- Define the goal<\/strong>
What\u2019s the purpose of this automation?
Example: Auditing donation pages to improve conversion rates.<\/em><\/li>\n- Define the inputs<\/strong>
What does the GPT need to do its job? Does it need a simple link? Or a screenshot? Or an uploaded file?
Example: A screenshot of a donation page.<\/em><\/li>\n- Define the outputs<\/strong>
What kind of results should it generate?
Example: Gaps, recommendations, emotional triggers and conversion ideas.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nStep 2: Improve your prompts<\/h2>\n
First, get your prompts ready. These are the building blocks for your process GPT. Bet Respond: title (no prefix), blank line, article. English only!<\/p>\n
Identify Your Best Prompts<\/h3>\n
Start by identifying the prompts that you use most frequently and that yield the best results. These are the prompts that you rely on to get the job done. For example, if you\u2019re a content creator, you might have a prompt that generates SEO-optimized blog post ideas. If you\u2019re a marketer, you might have a prompt that analyzes competitor websites.<\/p>\n
To find your best prompts, look at your workflow. What tasks do you repeat regularly? What prompts do you use to complete those tasks? Write them down. This will be the foundation of your custom GPT.<\/p>\n
Test and Iterate<\/h3>\n
Once you\u2019ve identified your best prompts, it\u2019s time to test them. Try them out in different scenarios to see how they perform. Are there any prompts that consistently yield better results than others? Are there any prompts that you never use because they don\u2019t work well?<\/p>\n
Based on your testing, iterate on your prompts. Refine them to make them more effective. This is where you\u2019ll start to see the real power of custom GPTs. By continuously improving your prompts, you\u2019re creating a tool that gets better and better over time.<\/p>\n
Document Your Prompts<\/h3>\n
As you test and iterate on your prompts, make sure to document them. Keep a record of what works and what doesn\u2019t. This will not only help you improve your prompts but also make it easier to create your custom GPT later on.<\/p>\n
Think of documentation as a roadmap. It guides you through the process of creating your custom GPT and ensures that you don\u2019t miss any important steps.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Combine Your Prompts into a Custom GPT<\/h2>\n
Now that you have your improved prompts, it\u2019s time to combine them into a custom GPT. This is where the magic happens. By combining your prompts into a single tool, you\u2019re creating a powerful automation that can handle complex tasks with ease.<\/p>\n
The first step in combining your prompts is to choose a platform. There are several platforms available that allow you to create custom GPTs, such as OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT, Gemini Gems, Claude Projects, and Copilot Agents. Each platform has its own strengths and weaknesses, so choose the one that best fits your needs.<\/p>\n
For example, if you\u2019re looking for a platform that offers a wide range of features, OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT might be the best choice. If you\u2019re looking for a platform that\u2019s easy to use, Gemini Gems might be a better option.<\/p>\n
Create Your Custom GPT<\/h3>\n
Once you\u2019ve chosen a platform, it\u2019s time to create your custom GPT. This involves a few simple steps:<\/p>\n
\n- Log in to your account<\/strong>
Log in to your account on the platform you\u2019ve chosen. If you don\u2019t have an account, you\u2019ll need to create one.<\/li>\n- Create a new custom GPT<\/strong>
Once you\u2019re logged in, create a new custom GPT. This will typically involve clicking on a button that says something like \u201cCreate a new custom GPT\u201d or \u201cNew GPT\u201d.<\/li>\n- Add your prompts<\/strong>
Add your improved prompts to your custom GPT. This will typically involve dragging and dropping your prompts into the custom GPT interface.<\/li>\n- Test your custom GPT<\/strong>
Once you\u2019ve added your prompts, test your custom GPT to make sure it\u2019s working correctly. Try out different scenarios to see how it performs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nShare Your Custom GPT<\/h3>\n
Once you\u2019re satisfied with your custom GPT, it\u2019s time to share it. Most platforms allow you to share your custom GPT with others. This is a great way to collaborate with colleagues or friends and get their feedback.<\/p>\n
To share your custom GPT, simply click on the \u201cShare\u201d button and enter the email addresses of the people you want to share it with. They\u2019ll receive a link to your custom GPT, and they can use it just like you do.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Use and Maintain Your Custom GPT<\/h2>\n
Now that you\u2019ve created your custom GPT, it\u2019s time to use it and maintain it. This involves a few simple steps:<\/p>\n
Use Your Custom GPT<\/h3>\n
Start by using your custom GPT in your daily workflow. Try it out on different tasks to see how it performs. Are there any tasks that it handles particularly well? Are there any tasks that it struggles with?<\/p>\n
Based on your experience, make any necessary adjustments to your custom GPT. This might involve adding new prompts, removing old ones, or refining existing ones.<\/p>\n
Maintain Your Custom GPT<\/h3>\n
Over time, your custom GPT will need to be maintained. This involves a few simple steps:<\/p>\n
\n- Update your prompts<\/strong>
As you gain more experience with your custom GPT, you\u2019ll likely discover new prompts that work particularly well. Add these to your custom GPT to keep it up-to-date.<\/li>\n- Remove outdated prompts<\/strong>
Conversely, you might find that some prompts are no longer useful. Remove these from your custom GPT to keep it streamlined.<\/li>\n- Test your custom GPT regularly<\/strong>
Regularly test your custom GPT to make sure it\u2019s still working correctly. Try out different scenarios to see how it performs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nConclusion<\/h2>\n
Creating a custom GPT is a powerful way to automate your workflow and save time. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can create a custom GPT that meets your specific needs and improves your productivity.<\/p>\n
Remember, the key to a successful custom GPT is to start with your best prompts and continuously improve them. By doing so, you\u2019ll create a tool that gets better and better over time.<\/p>\n
So what are you waiting for? Give it a try and see the difference it can make in your workflow.<\/p>\n
