Custom instructions and GPTs

0:00 in this video I'm going to be going over three methods of brainstorming in chat GPT now it's very important that you pay very close attention and you follow along dur in this video and as I'm showing you use cases and examples throughout this video think about how you can apply this to your own issues problems or topics within chat GPT I don't want to waste any of your time so let's get right into it method number one is to utilize custom instructions and the new GPT feature where you can create a virtual assistant in order to help you brainstorm and get ideas Now using custom instructions and gpts are both great but the great thing about custom instructions is it's available for anybody free or plus user so what I can do is I can quickly open up my sidebar head down to my settings and select custom instructions once I do that this custom instructions box will pop up and as you can see I already have

0:48 a problem solving Paradigm in here but today we want to focus on brainstorming so what I can do is I can paste in one of my brainstorming prompts in order to help me with this brainstorming process these custom instructions help chat gbt provide you better responses so these are the backend instructions you can provide for the front-end results so whatever you type in back here whether that be an action command or how you want chat gbt to talk how you want it to refer to you as you can type in all of that information right here in this nice backends and once you hit save each response or each input that you type into chat gbt it will be using these custom instructions when you have them enabled what I've done though is I've created a brainstorming Paradigm in order to help me brainstorm Solutions as you can see I tell chat gbt that when I

1:33 provide a specific topic or problem statement use the following structure to facilitate an effective brainstorming process and then I just go through a six-step process in order to brainstorm and this is going to help me with my brainstorming but you can create your own step-by-step process in order to develop something that's great for your situation in this process that I used for custom instructions actually comes with my problem paradigms in chat GPT now these are 20 custom instructions that you can type in in order to help you solve pretty much any problem in chat gbt I offer this for sale on my website I'll leave a link in the description if you are interested but yes I can give commands in here so when I say thank you conclude by offering a comprehensive list of all ideas and any observed patterns or notable Innovations but once I hit save what I can do is then I can close my sidebar and now the brainstorming custom instructions are active and it's going to help me drill down into my problems and also help me brainstorm so I can just type out something like start brainstorming process you can form this in any way you want you can have any Action commands you want you can have any text you going have any unique use cases in here once you create your unique brainstorming

2:42 Paradigm but once you do it once then you can just quickly copy and paste it and use the method whenever and that's what I love about it so much so I just told it to start the brainstorming process and it says could you please provide a specific topic or problem statement that we will focus on and now it's going to walk me step by step through that Paradigm that I created let's say that I'm designing a website for a landscaping company and I need help generating ideas for the landing page copy well what I can do is I can tell chat gbt exactly that I can give it my problem after I've initiated this brainstorming process as you can see I say I need help generate an ideas for landing page copy for a landscaping company what I can do then is I can send that message then it lists out and gives me the six steps that I put within my custom instructions within my problem solving Paradigm so this is definitely going to help me when it comes to brainstorming landing page copy ideas

3:28 for landscaping companies that's a very unique use case you can implement the instructions in any way you want and then you can even create a GPT out of them as you can see it does such a nice job it says setting the stage and the topic is creating engaging and effective landing page copy for a landscaping company that's my problem that I need help brainstorming with and then it says the goal well the goal is to attract potential customers and convey the unique value proposition of the company I didn't even have to type in my goal but when you're trying to generate a landing page copy that is ultimately the goal then it starts diving into different ideas it starts to build on the ideas with yes and statements it categorizes those ideas it combines the ideas and it prompts for different perspectives so you can use something similar based on these headings when crafting your own problem Paradigm for

4:11 brainstorming but I recommend you think of it in a way that's unique to your problems and it's something that's going to help you because once you build that structure one time that's all you're going to need for brainstorming forever now another thing you can do is once you have this process built if you are a GPT plus user you can create a brainstorming bot or virtual assistant GPT in order to help you so as you can see I have my brainstorming bot right here and whenever I select start a brainstorming session it automatically starts coming up for me and this is great um since I created this process once I put it in a virtual assistant I kind of used the custom instructions as a testing ground in the virtual gpts for the final product as you can see it Dives right into my brainstorming problem solution and I have so many different gpts that help me with so many different things
