– ChatGPT is constantly learning new tricks and interactions, with one of the newest features being custom instructions.
– Custom instructions allow users to adjust how ChatGPT presents information by providing details about themselves and specifying response preferences.
– Users can set up custom instructions in ChatGPT by clicking on their profile, selecting ‘Customize ChatGPT’, and entering their custom instructions following the prompts.
ChatGPT, the popular AI chatbot, has introduced a custom instructions feature that allows users to adjust how the chatbot presents information to them. This feature, previously in beta, is now available in the free plan and offers a lot of flexibility in providing tailored responses based on user preferences such as age, location, or profession. These custom instructions are based on feedback from users in 22 different countries, ensuring the chatbot remains useful to a diverse audience.
Custom instructions involve answering two prompts that shape how subsequent responses are framed. Users can provide information about themselves, such as their profession, age, and location, to receive more personalized responses. Additionally, users can specify the length of responses, preferred spellings, and the level of opinion they want the chatbot to express. Setting up custom instructions is simple and can be done in any browser without the need for a paid plan.
To set up custom instructions in ChatGPT, users can click on their name or profile picture in the chat interface and select the ‘Customize ChatGPT’ option. They can then enter their custom instructions in response to the two prompts and toggle the ‘Enable for new chats’ option to ensure these preferences remain consistent across conversations. While ChatGPT no longer displays when custom instructions are active, users can toggle this feature on or off based on their preferences. This customization feature allows users to receive responses tailored to their preferences and improve their overall chatbot experience.
