-: 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 want to 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 GPT by OpenAI,
individuals are able to share their own custom GPT
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 GPTs
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 want to 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 these 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.
