Lesson 1: Creating Your First Custom GPT

Your new virtual teammate starts here.

A custom GPT is your chance to build an assistant that knows your business and your style. It can follow detailed instructions, remember your preferences, and even take on tasks you do repeatedly. The setup process is simpler than most people expect, and once it is done, it feels like having a teammate who already understands what you need.

Here’s what you will do in this lesson:

1. Open ChatGPT and click Explore GPTs.
2. Choose Create a GPT and follow the guided steps.
3. Give your GPT a clear role, such as “Content Assistant” or “Client Follow-Up Helper.”
4. Add instructions about what it should do, how it should sound, and who it is helping.
5. Save it and test it right away. Ask it to complete one small, real task.

You can edit your GPT anytime, so do not worry about getting it perfect. The goal is to start building and experimenting. Each small adjustment helps it fit your needs even better.
