What is a Custom GPT?

A custom GPT is a feature available for Chat GPT Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise, and Edu members that allows users to create their own instance, or version, of Chat GPT that is personalized for their own needs. For example, a teacher could make a custom GPT for her students that assists them with scheduling and homework.

4. GPT Builder has two options for creating a GPT: the Create tab, which uses conversational prompts, and the Configure tab, which uses text-based fields and advanced options. We will cover both methods.
   – Note: The Configure tab will automatically be filled out based on the prompt responses sent to the GPT Builder in the Create tab.

Creating a Custom GPT with the Create Tab

It is a good idea to be as specific as possible about what you want the responses to look like, and what you do and do not want the GPT to answer.
3. When finished, click the Send icon.
