🤖 Creating Your Own GPT Bot with ChatGPT

OpenAI's recent release of ChatGPT has opened up exciting possibilities for creating and customizing our very own GPT bots. This development marks a significant milestone in the field of AI and has been hailed as a groundbreaking innovation. In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating your own GPT bot with ChatGPT, allowing you to tap into its vast potential for commercial applications.

Introduction

The recent unveiling of OpenAI's ChatGPT during the highly anticipated release event has left the world astounded. Millions of people tuned in to witness the momentous occasion as OpenAI introduced several groundbreaking updates. Of these updates, the most significant one is the support for non-programmers to create their own GPT bots using natural language and the option to monetize them through the GPT store. As a former product manager, I am thrilled to hear this news as it reminds me of the excitement surrounding the release of the iPhone 4. Having successfully explored the customized GPT feature of OpenAI, I am eager to guide you through the process of creating your own GPT bot.

OpenAI's GPT Release Announcement

OpenAI's official website for ChatGPT has undergone significant changes since its initial launch. At the top of the page, you will find the entry point for creating GPT bots. Although the current version is still in beta testing, some users may see a "Coming Soon" icon on the right side of the page. However, rest assured that the feature is already active for us to proceed. Below, you will find GPT bots created by OpenAI themselves, serving as references for various applications such as AI drawing, data analysis, coloring book bots, negotiation bots, and even writing coaches. While the GPT store is not officially live yet, there is a noteworthy detail: you can add a new website domain by clicking on your profile, then "Settings and Beta," and finally "Builder Profile." This detail suggests that the GPT bot we create can potentially be deployed on our own website domain, allowing us to offer corresponding services to others. The future commercial applications of our GPT bot are becoming increasingly evident.

Creating a GPT Bot with ChatGPT

Let's dive straight into creating our very own GPT bot by visiting the ChatGPT website. Upon opening the website, you will Notice significant changes in the layout compared to the previous version. The prominent feature at the top is the option to create a GPT bot. The creation process can be summarized into two parts: "Create" and "Configure." There are eight steps in total, and I have provided a detailed guide on the screen for you to follow along. Suppose, for instance, that we want to create a GPT bot for generating popular TikTok Captions. We can enter the Relevant information and complete the dialogue to define our bot's role, logo design, and specific considerations. Although GPT Builder defaults to English, it is entirely capable of understanding and responding to Chinese text as well. Now, you can begin the conversation by typing in Chinese and requesting the bot to respond in Chinese. GPT Builder will guide us through the necessary configurations based on our dialogue. It will even Prompt us to choose a name for our bot. Let's name it the "TikTok Caption Generator." Once the name is confirmed, GPT Builder will automatically generate a logo for us. However, the auto-generated logo may not meet our specific requirements, especially if we want our bot to stand out in the upcoming GPT store. In such cases, we have the option to manually upload a more suitable design. On the right-HAND side, the preview page adjusts accordingly based on our input.

Customizing Your GPT Bot

After defining the behaviors and functionalities of the GPT bot, GPT Builder will ask us to specify its preferred actions and interactive style. We can continue the dialogue with this prompt: "The TikTok Caption Generator is an expert in creating viral content, with over five years of experience as a TikTok content creator. It has a knack for generating million-view content and is also well-versed in TikTok marketing, helping others craft viral content and grow their accounts. Additionally, we can use the prompt to define the desired output, style, and interaction of our bot. If the defined behaviors and functionalities in the prompt are not clear enough, GPT Builder will request further clarification. Once we have defined the desired roles and behaviors for our GPT bot, we need to specify the actions it should avoid and any considerations when generating content. This step ensures that our GPT bot adheres to platform rules and avoids common errors made by creators. For instance, we can instruct our bot to refrain from generating violent or explicit content and to use language that is easy to understand and engaging. We can also request that the generated scripts be concise and captivating. Once these aspects are defined, we can give our GPT bot a distinct personality or speaking style. We can request it to be humorous or use language that is easy to understand while maintaining a level of professionalism and rigor. After completing these steps, GPT Builder will prompt us to test its functionality. However, it's important to note that we have only completed the basic configurations thus far. The real differentiating factor for your GPT bot, compared to others, lies in the configuration part.

Connecting External APIs with GPT Builder

The "Configure" section is where you can truly set your GPT bot apart from others. It consists of four crucial steps: "Instructions," "Conversation Status," "Upload," and "Actions." The "Instructions" section is where GPT Builder provides a detailed summary of your dialogue, based on your previous conversation. Here, you can review the instructions and make any necessary modifications or adjustments. In the "Conversation Status" or "Quickstart Instructions" part, you will find the suggested prompts floating above the input box. You can manually edit them here or choose the default suggestions provided by GPT Builder. Now, let's focus on the "Upload" functionality, which is essentially where you upload relevant data and information to GPT Builder. By uploading a sufficient quantity of high-quality answers related to different content domains, such as viral TikTok captions, you can enhance the quality of the generated content by your GPT bot. Finally, the "Actions" part equips your GPT bot with external APIs, which allow it to perform various actions and operations. Notably, ChatGPT already supports integration with Zapier, an automation tool that can connect with over 6,000 popular applications and software. With Zapier integration, our GPT bot can interact with a wide range of software, including Gmail, Google Docs, Slack, Monday, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, and many more. This opens up countless possibilities for applications and expands the scope of potential scenarios. To gain a clearer understanding of these possibilities, I recommend watching OpenAI's demonstration of GPT bots connected to Zapier during the release event. In the demo, they showcased how GPT bots associated with Zapier can access their Google Calendar and send text messages using Slack upon receiving specific instructions. Connecting external APIs significantly broadens our capabilities and creates a wealth of potential applications for our GPT bot.

Conclusion

After completing the aforementioned steps, we have successfully created our own GPT bot. The process may seem straightforward, but the true potential of your GPT bot lies in the configuration part. To ensure the quality of the community, I plan to establish an exclusive community for AI enthusiasts and pioneers, where a high-quality GPT bot and commercial application case study are prerequisites for admission. All GPT bots created by members will be shared within the community, providing an opportunity for seed users. If you are interested in this project, please click the first link in the video description to sign up and share your high-quality GPT bot and commercial application case study. These fees will contribute to the future operation of the community, including potential online live broadcasts, sharing Sessions, and offline meetups. Operating a high-quality community is no easy task, and it is arguably the most challenging form of product management. However, the value generated by a high-quality community is immense. The information and resources you gain from such a community can be extremely rewarding. Additionally, my team is currently accepting applications for limited new members. The window of opportunity may be brief, so if you are interested, please click the Second link in the video description to learn more.
