Objective
Create a saved, reusable custom AI assistant configured for one specific recurring task.
Materials Needed
- ChatGPT Plus or Gemini account with Gems access
- A recurring task you do often
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
1
Identify a task you repeat often (e.g., writing weekly social posts in your brand voice, answering FAQs).
-
2
In ChatGPT, use 'Create a GPT' (or in Gemini, 'Create a Gem') and describe its purpose, tone, and any rules it should follow.
-
3
Paste in reference material it should always use (your brand voice guide, FAQ, or price list).
-
4
Test it with a real request and refine the instructions based on the result.
-
5
Save/name it clearly so you can find and reuse it easily.
Instructor TipThis is the payoff tutorial for anyone who built a Brand Voice Guide earlier — encourage them to paste it in directly.
TakeawayA well-configured custom assistant means you never have to re-explain your rules and preferences again.
