Episode Details

Three million custom GPTs exist, but most collect dust after week one. This episode builds a decision framework for when a custom GPT actually earns its keep. We break down the three levers — system prompts, knowledge base upload, and custom actions — and explain why the car manual is the platonic ideal while the restaurant recommender is the cautionary tale. If you've ever stared at the "Create a GPT" button wondering whether to click it, this framework will save you time.
