Ep 64 - The Custom GPT Process That Works Best For Me

In this solo episode, host Cary Weston records from the parking lot during his kids’ sports practices and dives into a hands-on tip about creating Custom GPTs—specialized versions of ChatGPT tailored for specific tasks. Cary walks through the step-by-step approach he uses to build and use Custom GPTs that act like focused digital assistants, whether for writing, proposals, or even acting like an ideal customer focus group. It’s a great listen for anyone who’s curious about going deeper with ChatGPT and turning it into a truly personalized productivity partner.

3 Key Takeaways

• Custom GPTs = Specialized Assistants: Cary explains how Custom GPTs can be trained to perform focused tasks like writing in your tone, generating proposals, or role-playing as a best-fit customer.

• Start by Letting ChatGPT Help You First: Before creating a Custom GPT, Cary suggests having a conversation with ChatGPT about your goal and letting it guide you with suggestions and tasks to clarify your needs.

• Capture, Copy, and Paste: Once you're happy with the interaction, you can ask ChatGPT to generate the exact configuration text needed to create a Custom GPT—just copy and paste it in. He’s even made a downloadable walkthrough to help with that.
