Hello dear AI enthusiast!
If you’ve already filled out this very short survey then thank you very much! If not, it will only take you 2 minutes and it will massively help me understand how I can help you going forward. Thank you!
In this issue of Everyday AI Made Easy, I want to talk to you about custom GPTs and how they can help you with your work (and life!).
💡 What is a custom GPT?
A custom GPT is a separate instance of ChatGPT that is purpose-built and that can be configured and trained to behave in a specific way, respond in a specific style or draw on a specific knowledge base.
So it’s like an assistant that can be trained once to perform specific tasks in a consistent way every time.
You give it custom instructions, which are rules that tell the GPT how it should behave. The instructions define the GPT’s persona, its tone of voice, and they tell it what to do and what not to do.
It saves a lot of time, compared to just opening a new chat in ChatGPT, because a custom GPT has long-term memory so you don’t need to re-enter your prompts again or store them outside of ChatGPT and copy and paste them each time.
You can also upload your own files (like PDFs, images, data, word documents) to the custom GPT to give it a knowledge base that it should draw on.
💡 Examples
So now I’m going to share with you some practical examples to help you understand how creating a custom GPT can be useful to you.
➡️ Example 1: A content marketing assistant
You can create a custom GPT that acts as a content marketing assistant. You can train it to write blog posts, LinkedIn updates, or ad copy in your brand’s voice.
Instead of adding your values, your style and your user personas into every chat, you only add it once to your custom GPT and it will always frame its output in a tone that matches your brand’s personality.

🤔 Custom GPTs or Projects?
Now, you’re probably wondering – how are custom GPTs different from ChatGPT Projects? They are quite different!
💡How to create a custom GPT
Creating a custom GPT is easy and only takes a few minutes. No coding required! For the exact steps, watch my watch my quick step-by-step tutorial on YouTube.
