Learn how to create your own version of ChatGPT, step by step, without having any programming idea

Since early November, OpenAI has released a series of updates to its AI assistant, ChatGPT, including custom GPT versions that ChatGPT Plus subscribers can create to perform specific tasks.

These GPTs allow users to tailor the chatbot to their needs, whether for programming, creative writing, or technical support.

The creation of a particular GPT is accessible to any user, since no specific programming knowledge is required. Users simply need to provide clear and precise instructions to the chatbot about what they want their personalized version to be like. Artificial intelligence itself takes care of the rest, developing itself.

Despite the opportunities this feature offers, some startup founders have expressed concerns about how these updates could impact their AI businesses. The growing capacity of large language models poses challenges and opportunities for various industries, and may overwhelm more than one competitor.

Open ChatGPT, having the Plus version, and select "Explore" in the left sidebar. Click "Create a GPT" to get started.

Type a statement in the message box, telling GPT Builder what you want it to do.

After entering the message, GPT Builder will spend a few seconds generating the GPT. It will provide you with suggestions for the chatbot's name and image, which can be customized with additional instructions until it's to your liking.

GPT Builder will then ask you to adjust the context, providing details on the specific features you want for your chatbot.

Once the GPT is generated, ask the chatbot questions to test its capabilities, and adjust the chatbot according to your preferences, asking more questions based on its answers. This way you will be able to polish the chatbot to perfection, obtaining a unique and personalized result.

Creating your own GPT is a simple process with clear instructions provided by GPT Builder, greatly speeding up the process. It will take you just over 15 minutes to create a solid base and from there you will only have to refine it to obtain the estimated results.

However, it is important to note that although the process is accessible, the GPT may not be perfect. Despite this, the ease of creation and usefulness of the GPT suggest that users may find value in customizing AI for specific tasks and automating time-consuming tasks in daily life. On the other hand, for those looking for a faster solution, the free version of ChatGPT remains a viable option with similar, although less successful, results.
