GPTs are now accessible to all Chat GPT Plus users, marking a significant shift from the generic, all-purpose GPT models to more specific and purpose-oriented ones. It’s the biggest update of the year, and it brings an incredible ability: the power to create your very own GPT.

Now, you can perform multiple functions within one GPT 4 mode, including attaching images, uploading files, generating images, and browsing the web, making it an incredibly potent tool for everyday tasks.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the process of creating your own custom GPTs, breaking down the seemingly intermediate task into simple, actionable steps.

All you need to know:

ChatGPT New Dashboard:

The revamped dashboard is easy to use and navigate. With the selector moved to the upper left corner, it’s cleaner and more user-friendly.

It seamlessly combines features like web browsing, image attachment, and file uploading into the GPT 4 model.

Custom ChatGPT

Additionally, the everyday task model, GPT 3.5, is perfect for basic text outputs without the need for advanced reasoning. The potential for future plugin integrations promises even more incredible functionalities.

Accessing the ChatGPT:

To begin, Go to chat.openai.com and navigate to the ‘Explore‘ button in the top left corner.

Here, OpenAI has strategically placed the GPT options, emphasizing their importance within the platform.

While there are some presets available, they might not cater specifically to your needs.
