Create GPTs with ChatGPT

“I heard I can make my own AI with ChatGPT… but how?”

If you’ve ever wondered this, you’re not alone.
Since 2024, ChatGPT has allowed users to create custom AIs called “GPTs”—and the best part is, you don’t need to code.

In this article, we’ll walk through what GPTs are, how to create one step by step, and practical examples you can try today.

✅ > What you’ll learn here

  • What GPTs actually are
  • Simple steps to create one (no coding required)
  • Real-world use cases and creative ideas

🧠 First Things First: What Are “GPTs”?

GPTs (Custom GPTs) are personalized versions of ChatGPT that you can design with your own instructions, style, and knowledge.

  • Available for ChatGPT Plus users
  • No programming required—everything is done through an easy GUI
  • You can set the tone, personality, and purpose of your AI

Examples of GPTs you could make:

  • A tutor that teaches kids gently
  • An AI that chats in Kansai dialect
  • An SEO-focused blog editor

🛠 Step-by-Step: How to Make Your Own GPT

1. Go to “Explore GPTs” in the ChatGPT menu

(Or visit chat.openai.com/gpts)

2. Click “Create”

A guided step-by-step setup will begin.

3. Name your GPT and set its purpose

Example:

  • Name: Blog Editor
  • Purpose: “An assistant for SEO-optimized blog writing”

4. Define its Personality

Decide how it should “speak.”

  • Polite, formal, or casual?
  • Should it use jokes? Regional dialect?

5. Add detailed Instructions

Tell your GPT exactly what to do. For example:

  • “Always output blog posts in Markdown format”
  • “Use headings + body paragraphs”
  • “Conclude articles with a clear ‘## Conclusion’ section”

6. Upload extra knowledge (optional)

You can upload files or URLs, like:

  • A personal profile or company manual
  • Internal guides or workflows
  • This makes it act like a “private knowledge base”

7. Review, test, and Publish

You can choose whether to keep it private (only for you) or public (shared with others).

💡 5 Practical Examples of GPTs You Could Create

  1. Article Structure Assistant
    Input keywords + audience, and get a ready-to-use blog outline in Markdown.

  2. Diary Analyzer
    Paste your daily notes, and it summarizes emotional trends.

  3. Translator + Style Converter
    Translate Japanese ⇄ English while keeping your personal tone.

  4. Recipe Suggestion Bot
    Suggests menus that match conditions like “low-carb, under 15 minutes, Japanese cuisine.”

  5. AI Editorial Team
    Create multiple GPTs—interview bot, article writer, proofreader—and manage them like your own editorial department.

🧭 Tips for Troubleshooting

  • Not working as intended?
    → Rewrite the instructions in more detail.

  • Mixing in incorrect info?
    → Add a rule: “Don’t include unverified content.”

  • Worried about privacy?
    → Keep your GPT private so no one else can access it.
