Using custom GPTs
Summary
Custom GPTs are tailored versions of ChatGPT built for specific, repeatable tasks, where you define how the GPT behaves through instructions and can add knowledge (uploaded documents) and tools like web search or data analysis. They work best when you find yourself reusing the same prompts or instructions across multiple tasks, reducing repetition and keeping context consistent. You create a custom GPT by opening the GPT builder in ChatGPT, naming it, writing clear instructions for how it should behave, and optionally uploading files or enabling features like image generation or code analysis.
