– Microsoft has added the feature of creating custom chatbots known as GPTs in its Copilot Pro AI chatbot
– GPTs allow for custom instructions, private datasets, and external function calls, and can be kept private or shared with other Copilot users
– The Copilot GPT Builder is used to create custom GPTs with natural language prompts, accessible through a new tab in Copilot and can be used with Designer and GPT-4 models
Microsoft’s Copilot Pro chatbot now allows users to create custom chatbots called GPTs, similar to the ones seen in OpenAI’s ChatGPT. This feature, available to premium users who pay $20 per month, allows for custom instructions, private datasets, and external function calls. These GPTs can be kept private or shared with other Copilot users, offering additional functionality not found in the base version of the chatbot.
To create a Copilot GPT, users can access the Copilot GPT Builder platform, which requires no coding and uses natural language prompts. Examples of use include creating custom instructions for generating logos or writing recipes in a specific format. Microsoft suggests using this feature to create a grocery list based on dietary requirements and meal plans. It can be accessed through a new My Custom Copilot tab and works with language models like GPT-4 and GPT-4-Turbo.
The process of creating a Copilot GPT is similar to making a ChatGPT GPT. Users follow the chat, give the GPT a name and tasks, and provide custom data if needed. The conversation with the builder, done on Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, involves answering questions that train the new chatbot. This feature was quietly rolled out to Copilot Pro users, offering enhanced capabilities to those looking to create customized chatbots.
