New Feature / Update: Custom Instructions for ChatGPT
What is it?
→ ChatGPT has rolled out a new feature called custom instructions. Essentially, it lets users personalize their interactions by specifying how they would like the AI to respond and what information it should consider when answering questions. This means you can guide ChatGPT on the tone you prefer, the topics you’re interested in, or even how you want it to address you.
Why does it matter?
→ Imagine you’re a marketing professional crafting a campaign, and you want ChatGPT to adopt a more formal tone to align with your brand’s values. With this new feature, you can say, “I’d like you to respond in a professional manner,” and voilà, you’ve set the stage for tailored answers that resonate with your audience. Or perhaps you’re a student needing help with essays; you can instruct ChatGPT to focus on academic detail and clarity, ensuring that it assists you in the best way possible.
Honestly, the implications here feel a bit like when I first discovered the wonders of Highland whisky – delightful and tailored to individual tastes. Just the other day, I found myself lost in a conversation with ChatGPT while preparing for a presentation. By applying these custom instructions, I shaped every response to mimic my speech patterns, which made the entire process feel more natural and aligned with my own voice. Other users can surely share similar moments of serendipity where this feature enhances their daily workflow.
