    Just as you would when prompting ChatGPT, tell the GPT Builder the type of GPT you'd like to make.
    • "Create a chatbot that helps teenagers with math homework."
    • "Create a GPT that provides technical support to my less tech-savvy parents."
    • "Build a bot that provides contact information for the people in my organization."

    GPT Builder will suggest a name for your bot. If you like the name suggestion, you can confirm by saying "yes" (or similar). If not, just let the bot know which name you'd like to use.
    • Once a name is selected, a preview will appear in the right panel.

    Once your GPT chatbot has a name, GPT Builder will ask you some questions to fine-tune its behavior. You'll have a chance to upload documents and give more precise instructions later, but for now, continue interacting with GPT Builder in the left panel as prompted.
    • As you keep adjusting the instructions, issue prompts into the Preview panel to make sure your GPT answers how it should.
    • For example, if your GPT is aimed at youth and the bot's responses aren't age-appropriate, you can tell GPT Builder to tailor responses to a specific age group.
    • You may ask the bot to be less wordy, sound more professional, change its tone, and more.

    You'll be able to choose whether to publish your GPT to Only me , Anyone at (your enterprise) , Only people with a link , or make it public. Your GPT is now ready to be configured.
    • To edit your GPT in the future, return to the GPT Builder and click Edit next to your GPT.
    • If you decide to delete your GPT, return to the GPT Builder, click the three horizontal dots at the top-right, and select Delete GPT .

    If your GPT needs specific instructions to answer questions, you can upload files that contain training data . Click Upload files under "Knowledge" to upload a document, spreadsheet, CSV, PPT, or PDF the bot can refer to. Each GPT can have up to 10 uploaded files, each no larger than 512 MB. [2]
    • After uploading knowledge data, play around with prompting your GPT in the Preview panel to make sure it can query your data. If it's not using your supplied data correctly, you can add additional instructions to the "Instructions" panel as needed.
