New Feature / Update: Custom Instructions
What is it?
OpenAI just rolled out a shiny new feature for ChatGPT called ‘Custom Instructions.’ It’s as if you’ve got a personal assistant who’s finally been given a peek inside your brain. Now, you can customise how ChatGPT interacts with you by specifying what you want it to know about you and how you’d like it to respond. Imagine telling it your preferences upfront, so it’s not just guessing what you mean every time you ask a question.
Why does it matter?
This is a game changer! Picture Lisa, a marketer juggling multiple campaigns. With Custom Instructions, she can guide ChatGPT to focus on her brand’s tone, giving her sharper marketing copy without that back-and-forth of trial and error. Or take Jake, a developer looking for tech insights; he can equip ChatGPT with specific programming details, making code suggestions more relevant and timely. It’s about being more efficient and feeling understood faster—like finally finding that perfect rhythm in a song you’ve been trying to learn on the guitar.
