How to Train Your GPT

I was challenged by a fellow coach to create my own GPT.

I had no idea how to do that, so I dug in a little bit and learned that, with the right GPT subscription (I use ChatGPT’s 20$ a month subscription), you can actually start to train your very own AI.

Here’s how.

With a low priced paid subscription like ChatGPT, you can create things called projects.

Once you have created a project, you can actually upload documents into the prompt for the project and instruct it to use only those documents.

For example, if you want to create recipes for chicken thighs, you could upload your favorite 10 chicken thigh recipes and instruct your GPT to, for example, incorporate Brussels sprouts (if for some bizarre reason you like Brussels sprouts) into a brand new recipe for chicken thighs.

Then, what your GPT will do is review those recipes, scrape the web, and come up with new recipes you can try.

In fact, when I asked my GPT to create one, here’s what I did

Prompt: Can you create a recipe for chicken thighs incorporating Brussels sprouts and make it more sweet than savory

Response: Absolutely! Here’s a sweet-forward roasted chicken thigh and Brussels sprouts recipe that leans into caramelization and natural sugars for a satisfying, sticky, and flavorful dish. Think maple glaze, balsamic tang, and crisp-edged sprouts.

And then the recipe was attached.

“Mike, why would I do this?”

Well, here are some options.  If you read Darren Hardy, Seth Godin, and Mike Samuels blogs consistently, you could load several of them into your GPT and then ask it how would they approach any specific issue you’re curious about.

Or you could load any of your successful marketing programs into your GPT and ask it to refine them, as well as making them lower cost or more effective.

Ultimately, what you do is limitless outside of your imagination.
