1. Sign in to ChatGPT at chat.openai.com

Only for ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise Users.

2. Create your custom GPTs

Click Explore in the left sidebar.

Then you’ll see a new page with all the GPTs you’ve created, the most recently used GPTs, and some Featured GPTs.

Click Create a GPT.

Chat with GPT builder.

Here’s the GPT builder to help you create your own GPT.

You can talk to the GPT builder and tell it what kind of GPT you want to create, and then it will come up with a name for your GPT.

Next, the GPT builder will generate a profile picture for the user queries.

If you’re unhappy with the generated profile picture, you can have it regenerated as many times as you like. Or later you can change the image generation of the profile picture again in Configure.

To build the best GPT, the GPT builder will ask you to enter more information about this GPT. This allows GPTs to focus more on certain information when talking to users.

Once you’ve completed this step, you’ve done most of the work for creating your GPTs.

3. Test your GPTs

You can test your GPTs in the playground. Moreover, if there are any changes that need to be made, you can send them to the GPT builder again; it will update your GPTs according to your new instructions.

4. Configure your AI chatbot

Then, you can go to the Configure page.

Here, you can modify the profile image, name, description, and instructions of the GPTs. Furthermore, you can define the conversation starters, upload knowledge files, and set up custom actions as well.

If you’re unsatisfied with the auto-generated profile image, you can always choose to upload your own photo or use DALL·E to re-generate your profile image.

Convert starters are 4 prompts that GPT Builder automatically generates based analyzing data and on your instructions.

These 4 prompts will be displayed on the dialog box of your own GPT. This helps the user to better understand your AI bot and get started with GPTs easily.

5. Save your GPTs and publish

After setting all the information and confirming that the AI bot passes the test, you can save and publish your own GPT.

1. Click Save.
2. Choose how you want to share your custom GPT.
3. Click Confirm.

6. Use your GPTs and share them with others!

Congratulations you’ve created your very own GPTs! You’re free to talk to GPTs or share the link with friends or social media. You have now your very own creation!
