What is ChatGPT Custom instructions? How to Use it?

As ChatGPT is the tool of modern times, it keeps updating with time and time. ChatGPT developers analyze customer feedback and give responses to their problems by giving new features and updates after solving that problem. One of the most recent updates of ChatGPT is the introduction of a new feature called ChatGPT Custom Instructions.

What is the ChatGPT Custom Instructions feature?

ChatGPT Custom instructions feature means adding your personal instruction in Chatgpt so that Chat GPT can use these instructions every time whenever generating a response to your query. It is a very useful and time-saving feature introduced by ChatGPT. You don’t need to tell chat gpt every time what type of response is detailed or short, advanced or basic you want for your query.

Previously you had to add, copy, and paste the preferences every time when working on ChatGPT but by using this feature you will customize the response of GPT by your instruction, and whenever GPT produces any response it will follow your customized instruction.

Like if you’re a school teacher of grade 5 and you want GPT to respond to your question according to students of grade 5 brain limits then you will just add the instruction that I am a  teacher of grade 5 and want the answer of my queries according to the class student brain capabilities. ChatGPT will provide you the response according to it.
