OpenAI’s ChatGPT has extended its ‘custom instructions’ feature to users of the GPT-3.5 model without charge. Originally launched in beta for ChatGPT Plus (GPT-4) subscribers, this ChatBot feature lets users avoid repetitive prompts.
Custom instructions empower users with more influence over how the ChatBot formulates responses to specific prompts. OpenAI has introduced the capability for users to input their preferences and requirements, allowing the AI chatbot to consider these factors when generating responses. This functionality not only enhances efficiency but also eliminates the need to rewrite identical instruction prompts during interactions with the software.

By utilising Custom Instructions, ChatGPT can provide answers that align more closely with the user’s specific requirements. This helps avoid excessive elaboration or straying beyond the requested scope, ensuring responses are succinct and relevant. Additionally, this feature aids in saving time by eliminating the need to repeatedly input the same context when interacting with the AI.
Software developers using ChatGPT can request that the chatbot provides responses in specific languages they prefer and ignore the ones they don’t wish to see in the responses. With “custom instructions” ChatGPT can also be tailored to provide responses to you in bullet points generated according to the user’s preferences.
