New Feature / Update: Custom Instructions
Anyone who has had a chat with ChatGPT knows it’s a friendly AI ready to help. But here’s the game-changer: OpenAI just rolled out a feature called Custom Instructions. Imagine being able to tweak how ChatGPT interacts with you based on your unique preferences. Sounds nifty, right?
This new feature lets users fill out fields to direct the AI on what to know about them and how they would like it to respond. It’s like giving your AI assistant a bit of a personality makeover—making it more attuned to your style and needs.
Why does it matter?
Now, let’s get down to brass tacks. Why should we care? Well, picture this: you’re a busy marketer juggling a dozen tasks. You need your AI to understand your tone for social media posts. With Custom Instructions, you can tell ChatGPT to keep it casual or professional, depending on what you’re working on that day. That means less time correcting the AI and more time drinking your coffee while it whips up content that feels exactly like you.
Or maybe you’re a developer onboarding new team members. You can program ChatGPT to offer guidance based on specific projects, answering queries with exactly the technical jargon your team needs. It’s about working smarter, not harder—having an assistant that gets you right off the bat.
So, if you’re nodding along here, just know you’re not alone. This is more than an update; it’s like giving your digital assistant a crash course in you. And let’s face it, isn’t it time we stopped explaining ourselves over and over again?
