In this solo episode, Cary Weston dives into a feature in ChatGPT Projects to help help you get more from them. Designed for those with the paid version of ChatGPT, Projects offer a powerful way to build focused workspaces that combine instructions, uploaded files, and consistent interaction—all under one roof. Cary breaks down how to set them up, why they matter, and offers real-world tips to get the most out of them. If you've ever wished your AI assistant could be more consistent or better understand your voice and goals, this one's for you.

3 Key Takeaways
-
Projects = Personalized Interns: Think of each Project as a hyper-focused digital assistant. The more specific you are with instructions and files, the more helpful and consistent the results.
-
Instructions + Files = Power Combo: Use the "Instructions" tab like a job description. Then upload key documents (like tone of voice guides, templates, or customer profiles) to act as the Project's knowledge base.
-
Keep It Focused: Instead of one all-purpose project, create separate Projects for distinct tasks (like copywriting, editing, or customer service) to avoid confusion and boost results.
