-: In this lesson, we'll be talking about custom GPTs.
So as I'm sure you've noticed,
the top left bar here has changed.
We have some new features.
If you click on this top ChatGPT here,
this is the standard ChatGPT that we are used to using.
Click this dropdown for the different functions.
But now we have something else.
We have what's called custom GPTs.
Hit this Explore tab, and you can see some custom GPTs
that have been made by OpenAI.
So what are custom GPTs?
Well, basically, custom GPTs are a version
of ChatGPT that has been given some custom instructions,
and possibly some unique data,
to make it specialized in a certain thing.
So as you can see, we have this creative writing coach.
So when you click this, this custom GPT specializes
in being a creative writing coach,
versus where ChatGPT is trained on all
of the information it could possibly get its hands on,
this is a specific expert in a field.
This is a subset where it's focused on one specific task
or a narrow range of tasks,
making it better at doing those specific things.
So you can see we have a visionary painter here,
a tech support advisor,
and when you have a specific issue you're dealing with,
or a specific version of ChatGPT you wanna talk to,
instead of coming up with a long
and lengthy prompt for ChatGPT to try
and get it to be the expert that you're looking for,
here, we can just select the correct custom GPT,
and it will already be the expert in the field
that we're looking for,
or the expert in the thing we are trying to do.
There are right now some custom GPTs by OpenAI.
The individuals are able to share their own custom GPTs
that they've made, and eventually, they will come out
with a GPT store, which will be much like an app store,
where you can go
and find the exact custom GPT for all the use cases
that are most relevant to you.
So let's check out this Sticker Whiz.
Let's use one of these prompts,
and see if it will make a sticker for us.
Here we have a really cute sticker,
and then it says, "If you wanna proceed
with ordering these, please let them know the quantity,
and it will go ahead and place an order for us."
It's asking for the size here,
and we can click this link to order our sticker.
So this is a really good example of how long it would take
to prompt ChatGPT to get you a sticker,
and then find the link
versus just clicking the Sticker Whiz,
typing what you want, and then it's just ready to go.
We can try this creative writing coach.
We're here. We can use this prompt.
Here, we have a expert in creative writing,
so if we were to upload some of our own creative writing,
we could have the creative writing coach
give us some detailed feedback.
If we wanted to try an example with any of exercises
to explore any of these techniques,
we would go ahead and do so.
I really like this negotiator.
Let's role play a salary negotiation.
So here are the four questions that it asked.
I'm gonna go ahead
and come up with a fictitious example here.
Here I go on to have a lengthy discussion
with the negotiator of asking for the moon,
just seeing how that would go
for this fictitious role I'm making up here.
And we are getting this great back
and forth of the negotiator pretending
to be the CEO asking me why I want such a high salary,
why I'm qualified, what do I think?
I am responding, and this is actually
some really good real-world practice here.
This is particularly useful and fun to use.
So that's a glimpse into the wide, wide world
of custom GPTs.
You can have your own custom expert
in whatever field you are looking for
or whatever thing you're trying to accomplish,
and have this pre-trained expert version
of ChatGPT ready at your disposal.
