- Posted in Guidance & New Features by

Introduction

Imagine having an AI assistant that's not just smart, but also perfectly aligned with your unique knowledge pool. Whether it's diving deep into the world of dog breeds or exploring a niche interest, creating a custom GPT model on FindGPTs.AI transforms this vision into reality. But why choose FindGPTs.AI over the standard custom GPT file upload feature? The answer lies in the cutting-edge RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) technology employed by FindGPTs.AI, which allows for a more dynamic, efficient, and expansive use of your knowledgebase.

While the traditional custom GPT setup limits you to uploading a maximum of 20 files—often resulting in less-than-ideal performance—FindGPTs.AI shatters these boundaries. With the ability to upload more than 20 files, including larger documents, your AI is no longer constrained by size or quantity. This means your custom GPT can draw from a richer, more comprehensive knowledgebase, ensuring more accurate, detailed, and relevant responses.

Moreover, the flexibility to manage your repository directly through the FindGPTs.AI tool is a game-changer. You can add or remove files, update your knowledgebase anytime, and ensure your GPT stays current with the latest information. This level of control and customization not only enhances the performance of your GPT but also makes it a more powerful and versatile tool for your specific needs.

So, if you're ready to bypass the limitations of traditional custom GPTs and leverage a more sophisticated, adaptable, and expansive approach to building your AI, follow this step-by-step guide to harness the full potential of your knowledge through FindGPTs.AI. Let's embark on this exciting journey together, turning your specialized knowledge into an interactive, intelligent powerhouse.


Step 1: Sign Up as a Free User

The first step to unlocking the power of custom GPTs is to register on FindGPTs.AI. It's a breeze! Just visit the website, click on the "Sign Up" button, and fill in your email address and password or use your Google account to sign up, which is more convenient. This initial step is your gateway to a world where your knowledge combines with AI to create something truly special. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step—and in this case, a simple sign-up process!

Step 2: Create a New Custom GPT on OpenAI's Website

Before diving into the specifics on FindGPTs.AI, head over to OpenAI's website to create a new custom GPT assuming you already have GPT Plus membership. This process involves selecting the type of model you want to create and providing some basic information about its purpose. Think of it as laying the foundation of your future AI assistant.



You could chat with the builder bot to name the new custom GPT. For example, you can name it as "Dog Breed Guide", just follow the instructions to let the builder generate the profile picture and instructions for you automatically. Of course, feel free to ask the builder bot to re-generate the picture until you are satified. Once you have your custom GPT set up, you’re ready for the next exciting phase: customization!



Step 3: Switch to "Chat My Doc" on FindGPTs.AI

Now, with your OpenAI custom GPT created, it's time to give it the knowledge it needs to serve your specific purposes. Navigate to the FindGPTs.AI and look for the "Chat My Doc" tab. This will take you to the building and management page, where the real magic begins. Here, you can upload documents. We take a knowlege file for dog breeds as an example. You could download it from this link - Dog Breed Knowledge and save to your local folder using the filename, "Dog Breed Knowledge.txt". All your uploaded documents will form the brain of your custom GPT, equipping it with the knowledge to answer queries related to your uploaded content.



Step 4: Upload Documents and Configure Your Custom GPT

After selecting and uploading your pre-prepared documents on the "Chat My Doc" page, it will take some time to make analysis on all your uploaded documents, at the same time you may hit the "Register Custom GPT" button. This action opens a wizard that guides you through configuring your custom GPT on OpenAI site. This stage is crucial; you'll define how your GPT interacts with users, including how to write Instructions and configuring Actions. You'll also need set your unique Auth API Key, which acts as a secure handshake between your data and the GPT. Follow the wizard’s prompts closely, and soon your custom GPT will come to life, ready and displayed on the webpage. Please see the picture below.

Below wizard will guide you on how ot make further configuration on your own GPT on OpenAI website and complete the final registration.


You will see your custom GPT displayed on the webpage. It was done, easy?



Step 5: Repository Configuration

The final step in the journey is clicking the "Configure Repository" button. This allows you to select which of your uploaded documents will be linked to your custom GPT. It's like telling your GPT, "These are the books you’ve read." By completing this step, you ensure that anyone interacting with your GPT will receive answers based on the content you’ve provided. Now, your GPT is not just a chatbot; it's a knowledgeable assistant ready to delve into the specifics of your chosen topics.



Engaging with Your Custom GPT

Congratulations! You’ve just created a custom GPT that’s brimming with knowledge about your chosen subject. Go ahead, ask it anything—from the simplest to the most detailed questions about dog breeds or any topic under your sun. You've built not just a tool but a bridge to making AI accessible and personalized.

Wrapping Up

By following these steps, you've turned what might seem like a technological maze into a clear path toward creating your personalized AI assistant. The process from registration on FindGPTs.AI to configuring your custom GPT with unique knowledge content is not just about embracing the future; it's about shaping it to your needs. Whether you're looking to create an AI that knows every dog breed known to man or one that holds the secrets to your specialized field, the power is now in your hands.

What’s next? Dive deeper, experiment, and explore the endless possibilities your custom GPT can achieve. The journey doesn’t end here—it’s just the beginning of a fascinating partnership between you and AI, with FindGPTs.AI as the catalyst. Happy creating!

This comprehensive guide is your first step towards demystifying the process of building a custom GPT model. With each step laid out, from registration to the final configuration, you're well-equipped to embark on this exciting journey. Remember, the world of AI is vast and full of potential—your custom GPT is just the beginning.
