Build Your Custom GPT | FULL TUTORIAL

my name is Sabrina ramov and in this video we're going to walk through building our own custom GPT in my previous video we talked about what a custom GPT is and how to use them from the GPT store just to recap the benefit of a custom GPT is that it's tailored to a specific use case you can have it call external apis or leverage external Tools in order to provide specialized personalized answers for specific use case for example here I'm in the GPT store this website generator is specifically tailored to do this task generate website

write for me is specifically tailored to helping you write engaging content code co-pilot again is specifically tailored to helping you code now you may have also heard of an assistance what's the difference between a custom GPT and an open AI assistance the main difference is that the custom GPT is accessible through the chat GPT interface and it can be shared with other people just by going to the GPT Marketplace and installing your custom GPT whereas an open AI assistant is intended for developers to integrate them within their apps for example if you have a make.com

automation it can call an open AI assistant to perform a specific task and then return a response in this tutorial I'll walk through building a custom GPT and in a future video I'll walk through building an open AI assistance so the first step is to log into your chat GPT web app okay and then click explore gpts on the left hand side this is the GPT store where you can search and install custom gpts on the upper right hand corner go go ahead and click create so the first step is to describe what it is

we're trying to make make a copywriter who brainstorms viral hooks for Tik Tok and Instagram videos what do you think of this name social hooks Smith you can change this later but we can keep it for now notice this preview on the right hand side this is what users will see after installing your custom GPT so here are some templates that users can click what are some catchy hooks for a travel Vlog help me brainstorm viral intros for beaed tutorial let's say I don't love this name I want an SEO optimized GPT name I want

the name to be um viral hook generator for Tik Tok chat GPT is updating the name generating a profile picture and we're going to see the update over here on the right hand side in the preview screen so now chat gpt's renamed our GPT to viral hook generated for Tik Tok it even generated a profile picture it looks good CH is again walking us through the build process what specific Focus or tone would you like it to emphasize when creating hooks now I recommend if you're non-technical or if this is your first time building a

custom gbt to just continue back and forth with this conversational process to build out the GP however if you're comfortable configuring it directly go ahead and click configure up here and this is basically where you can configure the brain of your custom GPT you can see these things have already been filled out by chat GPT based on our conversation but you can go ahead and modify it directly here so for example conversation starters this is what users see here when they first install your custom GPT and what's really awesome about GP is that you can

design its knowledge base here in the knowledge section you can upload files you can also enable certain capabilities such as web search and Dolly image generation for example if our hook generator also generated a visual hook as an image that might be a use case where you enable Dolly image generation you can also Empower gpts with custom action so here if you click create new action this allows your GPT to retrieve information or take actions outside of chat GPT so just calling an external API and if you have zero coding background you want to call

an external API but you don't know how just click here get help from actions GPT this will actually open up a custom GPT designed to help you create code to call a specific endpoint let's say you want to call the stripe endpoint this will create a spec for this API right we're not going to do that in this video but we will Empower it with knowledge and capabilities so for this viral hook generator I want to upload my curated database of a thousand plus proven viral hooks for Tik Tok and Instagram okay so I already

have that in the form of this notion document okay why is the hook so important by the way because it's the main reason that videos go viral if people do not watch the first 5 10 seconds of your video it's not going to go anywhere go to my notion page where I maintain this database then I'm just going to export the page okay go ahead and click export this is just a notion page listing out the hooks nothing fancy honestly and then what we're going to do is upload the file okay so now let's go

ahead and test our custom GPT on the right hand side help me brainstorm hooks for about free AI courses it's searching my knowledge so that means it's actually using the file that I've uploaded and here we go and now it's using the file and you can tell because of how it's broken it down into text and spoken hooks as well as visual hooks right so if you go back to my original document we have texts spoken hook here and then all the way at the bottom we have a list of visual Hooks and I'm going

to read through them check the accuracy yeah I mean I love some of these hooks right 98% of people have no idea these AI courses exist for free this is a great hook Why Pay thousands of dollars when you can learn AI for free this is great this free AI course feels illegal to know okay that one's overdone so I don't like that one visual hooks here you can start with free flashing in bold letters Show Yourself typing free AI courses in a search bar I like this one actually use a green screen if you

guys watch my Tik Tok or Instagram videos you know that I do green screen all the time honestly it's super easy now what I want to do is test its capability so here we've enabled web search as well as Dolly image generation and just a quick side note if you turn off and on a capability it refreshes the preview so that's why it just disappeared all of a sudden so here I'm going to ask generate an image to use a visual hook for a free courses AI video I am actually impressed that it got the

text rendering correct so that's good and so if I were to use this for Tik Tok and Instagram I'd use the green screen effect and select this as a photo or image to be displayed behind me and honestly I might try this later today just to see how well it performs so you can go ahead and download this image by hovering over it and clicking the download button so I'm pretty happy it's got a nice name it's got a nice logo description instructions conversation starters look good to me and then it has our knowledge base

of a th000 plus curated proven viral hooks from Tik Tok and Instagram videos it also has capabilities to search the web and generate images via Dolly the only thing we didn't Implement which is a little bit more advanced is an action such as calling and external API I definitely recommend using the preview screen over here to test it a lot more make sure the behavior is what you want make sure it's generating responses that seem accurate and sensible to you and once you're ready to deploy it go ahead and click create on the upper right

hand corner choose the access control you want you can make it invite only I have an upgraded account so I can make this GPT just for anyone in my company anyone with a link it could be public or you can even publish it on the GPT store let's actually do that so GPT store category let's select writing since it's technically generating copy and click updates we get this error here which is probably what you're going to get the first time all this means is that I haven't actually completed my Builder profile in order to make

a public custom GPT you basically have to go through some additional verification steps click learn more here it says within our products this is the open ey help documentation domain verification is required for advanced security features including the ability to publish your custom GPT to the GPT store right so if you are trying to publish on the GPT store and you're a non-enterprise customer then you must do dupan verification so and then there's more information if you scroll down here building and Publishing a GPT and this walks through it so any chat GPT plus subscriber

which I am can create GPT and share it with others but in order to publish you must verify your Builder profile let's close this for now and then we're going to go to our profile settings so go to settings go to Builder profile here okay this is the profile you need to fill out in order to publish a custom GPT to the store you select a domain you might want this to be your primary website or your blog or newsletter depending on where you're driving people to I'm going to drive people to my newsletter sabrina.

you're going to be prompted to add a text record to your DNS for your domain go ahead and do that and then come back to here when it's successfully verified you're going to see the domain over here okay let's go back to the GPT that we were creating click edit GPT and then we're going to try making it public again GPT store category writing and if you're still getting this error by the way the other most common reason is because you are using some kind of trademark name within your custom GP I'm going to guess

that it's because I'm using Tik Tok and Instagram here I can't really do that I'm just going to remove all references of Tik Tok short videos all we're doing here is removing any reference to Tik Tok and Instagram okay and now the GPT is updating again okay and that worked so just to recap I showed that process because the those are some of the most common errors you're going to run into number one make sure your Builder profile is complete with a verified domain and you will have to add a txt record to your domain

in the DNS settings and number two making sure you're not using any trademarked or copyrighted name so Tik Tok Instagram it even knows the abbreviations like andig I tried that as well and what worked for me is changing those references to just a generic phrase short videos now let's view the GPT so it's in the GPT store if I go to explore GPT let's see if I search viral hook for videos yep there's mine viral hook generator viral real script generator and mine's number three already viral hook generator for short videos and you can see

nobody's using it yet that's why it says zero here but if you're watching this video go ahead and install it check it out now what I'm going to do is log into my other chat PT account my personal account and then I want to try to find the GPT from here so click explore gpts let's do viral hook for videos okay and you can see mine right here although for some reason it's not displaying my name it just says Community Builder but this is the one we made you can see the logo and everything viral

hook generator for short videos so go ahead head and click that and then this is what you see these are the conversation starters these are the capabilities let's go ahead and click Start chat this is literally what we built so I logged into my other chat GPT account found my own GPT through the GPT store and now I'm using it on a different account than the one I made it in so let's say suggest trending hooks for life coach it's searching its knowledge-based trending hook ideas three life-changing habits I wish I knew 10 years ago

if you're in your 20s and lost watch this now are great and then I'll say hey what about visual hooks now if I wanted my custom GPT to always respond with text spoken hooks as well as visual hooks then what I would do is simply update the instructions the configuration of the custom gbt and tell it to always respond with both answers okay so here are some ideas for visual hooks now I'm going to log back into my upgraded Crown go to explore gpts click up here my gpts to see the ones that I made

and now instead of zero chats you can see one chat because I was using it on my other account so that's pretty cool go ahead and click edit GPT one thing I wanted to point out as well is you have the version history of the different versions you've deployed so here 9:56 a.m. November 22nd this is one version if you want to go back and restore a previous version super easy to do that to wrap up this video let's talk about the most common ways to monetize a custom GPT one option is to use a

thirdparty monetization platform there are Services out there that allow you to Implement subscription models and pay walls for your custom GPT another approach is to directly monetize features of the GPT this is a lot more complicated though to handle payments and ensuring access control but the basic concept behind it is ensuring that only paid users can use certain features in your GP all sorts of caveats you have to make sure you're complying with open AI terms of service and everything the third approach use a custom GPT as your top of funnel marketing and driving those

interested people somewhere else for example having a link to your website or to a lead magnet where people can sign up for something the fourth approach is to incorporate affiliate links or advertising directly within your gpt's responses so let's say you have a travel GPT and then you can put like different affiliate links as your GPT suggests travel itineraries so you have a couple different options to experiment with just keep in mind you always need to comply with open ai's terms of service and policies all right hope you enjoyed this video my name is Sabrina

ramov and we walked through building a custom GPT from scratch and talked about different ways to potentially monetize it
