Throughout this book, we’ve leveraged ChatGPT’s extensive abilities for tasks such as data analysis, image creation, and generating textual content. As you are already aware, ChatGPT has been trained on diverse internet data, making it adept at handling a wide array of everyday tasks.
Yet, suppose you want to customize ChatGPT to respond in a particular manner or perform a distinct task using a highly specific knowledge base. While Custom Instructions and data uploads offer some degree of personalization, these adjustments are user-specific; they aren’t accessible to others. Also, when you upload documents to ChatGPT, they disappear when the session ends.
On January 10, 2024, OpenAI unveiled a solution: GPTs. We briefly touched on GPTs in chapter 5, where we built a form for the landing page using the Typeform GPT. In this chapter, we will explore GPTs in more detail and even create one ourselves.
