In this episode, REBL shares a simple, powerful trick for writing better Custom GPT instructions—even if you’re not sure where to start. Using a live workshop example, she walks through how to define a GPT’s role, purpose, and desired outcomes, and how to get ChatGPT to write its own instructions for you. If you’ve ever stared at a blank custom GPT setup, this episode is your shortcut.

Key Takeaways

- Stuck on what to write? Just ask ChatGPT to write its own instructions using your role, purpose, and goals.

- Be specific about the GPT’s function, audience, and areas of focus—this improves response quality.

- Refine as you go: If the GPT gives poor answers, update the instructions based on feedback.

- Add a tone guide or word preferences to align the GPT with your voice.

- Use tools like Perplexity if you’re unsure what a role (like “coach”) should include.
