A practical guide to custom GPTs: what they are, how they differ from regular ChatGPT prompts, when to use them, and how to find one for a task.
A custom GPT is a version of ChatGPT configured for a particular purpose. It may include custom instructions, a name, a description, starter prompts, files, and sometimes actions that connect to outside services.
Custom GPTs are useful when you repeat the same kind of request often or want a guided starting point. Examples include writing feedback, lesson planning, coding help, trip planning, spreadsheet cleanup, and interview practice.
If your ChatGPT plan supports GPT creation, you can use the GPT builder to name the GPT, write instructions, add conversation starters, test responses, and choose sharing settings. A strong GPT starts with a narrow use case and realistic examples.
