ADVICE

Use Projects On Paid Plans

  • Use a paid ChatGPT plan to access Projects and find them in your sidebar above regular chats.
  • Create descriptive project names so you can quickly identify and return to focused workspaces.
ADVICE

Write Instructions Like A Job Description

  • Write project Instructions like a job description that defines role, purpose, and working style.
  • Specify tone, level of strategy, and behavior you expect so outputs stay consistent.
ADVICE

Combine Files With Instructions

  • Upload documents (voice, customer profiles, templates) into Files as the project's knowledge base.
  • Reference each file by exact name inside Instructions so the Project uses them when appropriate.
