With all of the recent additions to OpenAI’s flagship ChatGPT Plus tool, I have been looking at how to take advantage of its new functionality.

The issue with this methodology is that each time you want to do this, you must upload each file AND re-prompt the GPT with all of the rules and conditions for it to follow.

I’ve found a better way — create a custom GPT using the GPT Builder tool. I recently tried this methodology out in a Data Storytelling workshop I was leading.

And wow, did it ever simplify the process!

Let’s go through the steps together so you can see how it works.

To start, you need to have a license for GPT-4. Once logged in to your GPT-4 account, you can click on My GPTs and GPT Builder will prompt you to “Create a New GPT”.
