How to Create a Custom GPT in Under One Hour
Turn ChatGPT into specialised assistants for your business, content, or workflows.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by inconsistent results from ChatGPT or tired of searching for the “perfect” prompt, there’s a solution: Custom GPTs. These are personalised versions of ChatGPT designed for one very specific task — like turning transcripts into LinkedIn posts, writing patient information leaflets, or drafting ad copy.
The beauty of a Custom GPT is that once you set it up, you no longer have to think about prompting. It knows what you want and produces reliable results every time. Even better, you can create one in less than an hour.
Here’s how.
Step 1 — Choose one narrow job (5 minutes)
Custom GPTs work best when they do one thing well. Don’t try to make a “do everything” assistant. Instead, focus on a single task you repeat often.
Examples:
- Turn webinar transcripts into a LinkedIn post.
- Summarise medical policy documents into patient-friendly handouts.
- Draft Facebook ad copy in my brand’s tone of voice.
