This episode is all about custom GPTs: What they are, what they can do, and how to “build” one. If you’ve ever wished you could clone yourself, this is basically how you do it. In this episode I share how I created my own ChatGP-TA for the Instagram Intensive, the files and instructions I used to make it sound like me, and the simple steps you can take to “clone yourself” without writing a single line of code. Along the way we talk vectors, transformers, input quality, and how to set capabilities so your Custom GPT does exactly what you want.
Main Topics Covered
GPT definition refresher: generative, pretrained, transformer
How transformers work: tokens, vectors, and context
Definition of a Custom GPT and why it’s like “cloning yourself”
Example: building a Custom GPT (ChatGP-TA) for the Instagram Intensive
Files and instructions used to train it (outlines, sales page, emails)
Using Projects vs the GPT Builder (create + configure modes)
Importance of context and instructions for best outputs
Capabilities and settings (internet access, file uploads, toggles)
Use cases and limitations of custom GPTs
How Kate uses ChatGPT vs Claude
