Custom instructions for ChatGPT
For builders integrating ChatGPT into workflows, custom instructions streamline interactions, making the model behave more like a tailored assistant without manual setup each time.
What happened
OpenAI has introduced a new feature called custom instructions for ChatGPT, as announced on their blog. This update allows users to set persistent preferences that the AI will remember across all conversations. Instead of repeating context like role, tone, or specific requirements each time, users can now specify these once. According to OpenAI Blog, the feature aims to give users more control over ChatGPT's responses. For developers and solopreneurs building AI workflows, this reduces friction when using ChatGPT as a consistent assistant in repeated tasks. However, it also raises considerations about privacy and the extent of personalization, as users must trust OpenAI with their specified instructions. The feature is rolling out gradually to all users, starting with Plus subscribers.
