November 18, 2024
Welcome to another exciting recap of our AI Mentoring Program’s Monday session! Today’s gathering was a game-changer as we dove deep into the world of custom GPTs and explored how to harness what they do for our specific needs. Let’s unpack the golden nuggets from this insightful session.
The Journey So Far
The energy was palpable as we kicked off Session 3, marking our transition from basics to intermediate level AI implementation. Our mentor Ricky gave everyone a well-deserved round of applause for sticking with the program and making significant progress. The session showcased real examples from participants who had already implemented their learning in creative ways.
Key Takeaways from Today’s Session
Our deep dive into custom GPTs revealed several fascinating insights:
- The Power of Personalization: Custom GPTs aren’t just about creating another chatbot – they’re about crafting AI assistants that understand your specific needs. Whether it’s generating LinkedIn content for educators or evaluating public speaking, the possibilities are endless.
- Document-Based Intelligence: We learned how to enhance our GPTs by feeding them specific documents, making them experts in particular domains. This feature proves invaluable for creating specialized knowledge bases.
- Privacy and Control: The session highlighted important considerations about data privacy, with options to keep your GPT private, share it with specific users, or make it public in the GPT store.
Real-World Applications in Action
The session featured impressive demonstrations from participants:
- A language learning assistant for cross-cultural communication
- A career advisory GPT for recruitment and professional development
- A specialized tool for evaluating public speaking performances
